When Lightfoot was sworn in as the city’s 56th mayor May 20, Eshleman became the city’s first lady.
Here are some things to know about her:
• Eshleman is originally from Sterling, Ill., and has lived in Chicago since 1991.
• Lightfoot and Eshleman have been together for 16 years. They got married on the day same-sex marriages became legal in Illinois. “Falling in love and having a family and doing all those things felt really important to us. To be able to be married on that day felt really big,” Eshleman said.
• Eshleman and Lightfoot walked in last summer’s Chicago Pride Parade. Eshleman recently told the Tribune that experience was “one of the most profound and emotional and humbling” moments of her life.”
• Eshleman was a student-athlete at Sterling High School. A 1980 graduate, Eshleman played on the school’s 1977 girls basketball team.
