Beside every great woman, there is a great man. US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris introduces her husband Doug Emhoff to the world after historic victory.
Doug Emhoff paused his career for his wife Kamala Harris’s aspirations — and became the campaign’s ‘secret weapon in several States. Now it is time to celebrate.
“Meet the love of my life” Harris flaunts her husband on social media.
What will be the title of Emhoff when her wife Harris assumes office? He will become the first second gentleman of the United States (an informal title held by the spouse of the vice president of the United States, concurrent with the vice president’s term of office). He will also be the first Jewish spouse of a U.S. vice president.
Emhoff was married for 16 years to Kerstin Emhoff, a film producer and founder and CEO of the production company Prettybird. They have two children together, Cole and Ella.
He married Kamala Harris on August 22, 2014, in Santa Barbara, California, with Kamala’s sister Maya Harris officiating. Emhoff’s two children call Harris “Momala” in place of “step-mom.”
