President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto is famed for his good looks, but his celebrity wife is just as likely to turn heads. Meet Mexico’s glamorous new First Lady: soap star Angelica Rivera.
Rivera, 41, is Mexico’s answer to Carla Bruni, the popular singer married to former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
She succeeds President Felipe Calderon’s wife Margarita Zavala, who campaigned for educational reform during her husband’s term in office. While Rivera may bring glamor to Los Pinos, she is unlikely to share her predecessor’s enthusiasm for politics.
