Meet Kamala Harris's Husband, Doug Emhoff, the First Second Gentleman
A Successful Entertainment Lawyer Who Threw Himself Into Politics to Defend His Wife
Emhoff and Harris Met on a Blind Date in 2013
Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Douglas Emhoff, has been by her side for more than a decade. The successful entertainment lawyer has embraced his unique role as the first second gentleman, all while fiercely defending his wife.
Emhoff and Harris, both in their 40s at the time, met on a blind date set up in 2013 by Harris's best friend, publicist Chrisette Hudlin. They hit it off immediately, and within a year, they were married. Emhoff had been divorced before, while Harris had never been married.
Emhoff's role as second gentleman is largely ceremonial, but he has used his platform to advocate for various causes, including LGBTQ rights and reproductive rights. He has also been a vocal supporter of his wife's career, and he is known for his sharp wit and sense of humor.
