The spouse or partner of the vice president of Colombia is the wife, husband or domestic partner of the vice president of Colombia. Yerney Pinillo is the current domestic partner of the 13th and current vice president, Francia Márquez.
Twenty-three women and one man who have been married to the current Vice President of Colombia. As a semi-public figure, spouses are usually present at various ceremonial or diplomatic activities alongside the vice president. The vice president is not the head of state; thus, their spouse does not officially play as active a role in Colombian affairs as do the spouse of the president. The vice president's spouse, however, is still generally regarded as a public or semi-public figure, frequently accompanying the vice president on campaign and other public appearances, and often hosting dignitaries at the vice presidential house.
The role of the spouse of the Vice President of Colombia is unofficial and as such they receive no salary or official duties. Over time, the position has evolved and spouses like Luz María Zapata have gained public attention through their own careers and independent achievements, as well as attending official engagements accompanying their husband.
Luz María Zapata, was awarded in 2022, for her role as President of Asocapitales, by the then President of the Senate, Roy Barreras[1]
