Former second gentleman of the US, Doug Emhoff has been quite supportive of Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign. However, social media users are now speculating that their relationship has hit a rough patch.
On November 18, 2024, the X account Freed Ninja shared a post stating that Emhoff and Harris are no longer together and were heading for a legal separation. The post read:
“Sources say that Doug Emhoff has left Kamala Harris and a divorce might be imminent. Feels like the twilight zone considering it wasn’t too long ago that Kamala was telling everyone Joe Biden was sharp as a tack.”
It must be clarified that this is a viral claim and no official statement has been made yet. So, it is safe to say that these rumors are completely unverified.
A peek into Doug Emhoff and Kamala Harris’ relationship timeline
Emhoff and Harris started dating in 2013. At the time, Harris was California’s Attorney General while Doug Emhoff was an entertainment lawyer. The duo were set up on a blind date by one of Harris’ friends. He proposed to her in 2014, and the two got married in the same year.
Emhoff had two kids from his previous marriage, Cole and Ella, who were warmly welcomed by Kamala Harris. Not only that, she has a good relationship with his ex-wife Kerstin. However, she did not prefer to be called ‘stepmom’ and instead came up with the name ‘Momala.’
