Laura Álvarez (born 1969) is the Mexican-born wife of Jeremy Corbyn.
A former human rights lawyer in Mexico, Laura Álvarez first met Corbyn shortly after his divorce from his second wife Claudia Bracchitta, having come to London to support her sister Marcela following the abduction of her niece to America by her sister's estranged husband. The sisters contacted fellow Labour MP Tony Benn for assistance, who introduced them to Jeremy Corbyn who met with the police on their behalf and spoke at fundraisers until the girl was located in 2003.[1]
Laura Alvarez returned to Mexico, with the couple maintaining a long distance relationship until she moved to London in 2011. She has described Corbyn as "not very good at house work but he is a good politician".[2]
