On November 5th, Kamala Harris could be elected as the first female president of the USA. This is her husband and potential First Gentleman of the country, Doug Emhoff.
The outcome of the presidential election in the USA scheduled for November 5, 2024 is awaited with great excitement. It is already clear that this is a historic vote. On the one hand, the choice is for another presidency of Donald Trump (78), with all the imponderables that this would entail. Or the election of a woman to the highest political office in the United States for the first time – which would also make Kamala Harris’ (60) husband Douglas Emhoff (60) the country’s first first gentleman.
Kamala is Doug Emhoff’s second wife
The former lawyer has been married to the prominent politician since August 2014. Just a few weeks ago, the two celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in a rather unromantic manner on the sidelines of a US Democratic party conference in Chicago. It was the first wedding for Kamala Harris, while Emhoff was married to film producer Kerstin Mackin (57) from 1992 to 2008. His first marriage has two grown-up children, his son Cole (29) and his daughter Ella (25).
Couple was set up by girlfriend
According to media reports, the two met on a date that was arranged by a friend of Emhoff’s after the two of them met for the first time. The engagement took place almost a year later, and the wedding bells rang a short time later. To this day, the two seem to have an extremely happy marriage – even if Emhoff largely had to give up his previous professional life for the sake of his wife.
From lawyer to “second gentleman”
After Kamala Harris was sworn in as Vice President of the United States in early 2021, he gave up his previous job as a lawyer for entertainment companies to fully concentrate on his new role as “Second Gentleman.” Shortly after Harris was sworn in, Douglas Emhoff made a statement in conversation with the broadcaster NBC with the following words: “I am a husband and a father first and I support her in every way possible.”
