Harris’s husband is an attorney and she is a step-mother
Douglas Emhoff, 56 is an entertainment lawyer. He and Kamala Harris met on a blind date set up by one of their common friends. They got married in 2014 at the Santa Barbara Courthouse.
Their love is unique and Emhoff has been supportive of his wife since the beginning. He knows how hard it can get for a black woman to fight against white men. So, he was a very important piece in her political journey, being always by her side when she needed support.
Emhoff was married to Kerstin Emhoff and had two children, Cole and Ella, named after jazz legends John Coltrane and Ella Fitzgerald. Harris accepted his children, they have a very strong and beautiful relationship, and she calls Kerstin a “dear friend”.
Kerstin says she is supporting Kamala Harris more enthusiastically than Melania Trump supports her husband in this electoral campaign. Kerstin attended the DNC for the first two days and she already has doubled the appearances Melania made this year for the Republican Party.
For over a decade, Kamala has been part of their life, successfully co-parenting with Doug and Kerstin. Doug’s first wife said that Kamala is “loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present”. She also said multiple times how much she loves their blended family and how grateful she is to have Kamala in it. The children call Harris “Momala” and they represent her as an endless source of love and joy.
