Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, admitted cheating on his first wife with his child’s nanny. Now his ex is responding to the matter in a way that is leaving folks all over the country with their mouths on the floor. The statement Kerstin Emhoff released actually defended the second gentleman and his philandering. I can’t help but feel the reason for this is because Harris is the Democratic Party presidential nominee, but hey, maybe she doesn’t mind being cheated on? Some people are weird like that.
“Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons, many years ago,” Kerstin Emhoff told the Washington Post in a statement that was released on Saturday. “He is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great friend to me and I am really proud of the warm and supportive blended family Doug, Kamala, and I have built together.”
Emhoff confessed to his marital indiscretion with the nanny — isn’t that completely cliche? — not long after the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail published an article last week detailing the affair with his daughter’s nanny, which resulted in a pregnancy. However, the nanny did not keep the baby, a close friend of hers revealed to the outlet. What that means, exactly, wasn’t made clear.
“During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions. I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side,” Emhoff said in an interview with CNN last week.
Emhoff and his first wife were married from 1992 to 2008 and share two adult children. Vice President Kamala Harris married Emhoff in 2014, and helped co-parent his children, who call their stepmom “mommala.” The divorce cited “irreconcible differences” as the motivation behind parting ways, the New York Post reported. Harris knew about the affair before they married, and the Biden 2020 campaign knew about it when it was vetting her for Biden’s vice presidential pick, CNN reported.
Despite the affair and divorce, Kerstin Emhoff has posted supportive messages regarding her ex-husband’s second wife.
“LFG!!!! It’s time for democrats to put their differencesaside and find common ground. We can’t give up and lose to DJT. ALL HANDS ON DECK!! Kamala Harris for President!” she posted to her Instagram account, accompanied by a Time cover of Harris following President Biden dropping out of the 2024 race.
“For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I,” she said in comments delivered to CNN last month in defense of the vice president. “She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective and always present,” she continued. “I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.”
According to the report, Fox News Digital attempted to reach out to Harris’ office to get a comment concerning the situation, but did not receive an immediate reply. Gee, I wonder why she’s not in the mood to talk about her hubby’s infidelity? You know, they say once a cheater, always a cheater. Which is proof that Harris and Emhoff totally deserve each other.
One slept her way to the vice presidency, the other is hot for teacher. Vows are just nothing more than empty words and ceremony, nothing more.
