Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has seemingly confirmed infidelity rumors regarding his first marriage. Conservative media has long claimed Emhoff cheated on his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, with their daughter’s nanny, who reportedly became pregnant. While Emhoff did not outright deny these claims in a statement to CNN, he acknowledged that his actions caused tough times during his first marriage and that they have worked through these issues as a family.
This partial admission came after the Daily Mail published an exposé citing a close friend of the nanny who confirmed the affair. Emhoff’s statement did not refute the allegations, instead emphasizing the progress his family has made since those events. CNN also reached out to a spokesperson for the Harris Campaign, who declined to comment on the specifics of the Daily Mail’s story.
Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff met in 2013, five years after his divorce from Kerstin, and married the following year. Harris has since become stepmother to Emhoff’s two children. The family dynamic has been highlighted in various contexts, including political commentary and public appearances.
