President Gabriel Boric and his partner, Paula Carrasco, are moving in together before the birth of their first child in June. Carrasco recently moved her belongings from her apartment to Boric's house in Santiago's Yungay neighborhood.
The couple has largely kept their relationship private, with Presidential sources declining to comment on the move. The family has a long-standing agreement to keep personal matters private.
Boric's close associates confirm that he is protective of Carrasco and is mindful of her relative lack of experience with the scrutiny of public life.
The situation is unprecedented in Chilean history, as Boric will be the first single father president who did not live with the mother of his child during his term. However, the family has decided to live together before the child's birth.
The couple's relationship began during the 2023 Pan American Games. Boric and Carrasco were formally introduced to her family in January 2024, and they began attending public events together. Despite the initial privacy, the announcement followed months of speculation.
Carrasco works at the Ministry of the Environment, focusing on greenhouse gas emissions inventories. She's also a basketball player, and her career influenced the couple's timeline for moving in together.
