Many people are curious about Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, and their relationship, especially with Harris recently announcing her candidacy for President. As public interest in her personal life grows, here’s what you need to know about her husband and her dating history.
Who is Kamala Harris’ husband?
Kamala Harris is married to Doug Emhoff, and they have been together for eight years. Emhoff, the first-ever second gentleman of the United States, made history as the first Jewish spouse of a U.S. Vice President.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Doug Emhoff was raised in Matawan, New Jersey, before moving to Los Angeles as a teenager. He earned his B.A. from California State University, Northridge, and later received his Juris Doctor from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. Emhoff has had a successful career as a lawyer.
As second gentleman, Emhoff has proudly represented his Jewish heritage, celebrating Passover at the White House and engaging with Jewish student leaders to combat antisemitism. He has also been a strong advocate for gender equality, hosting discussions on equal pay, workplace equity, and reproductive rights.
Kamala Harris’ dating history
Before marrying Doug Emhoff, Harris was involved in a few public relationships. She dated former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown until 1996. Brown later shared his thoughts on her political career in a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed, suggesting she should have pursued the U.S. attorney general position over the vice presidency, describing the role as a “dead-end.”
Harris was also romantically linked to talk show host Montel Williams in 2001. Williams confirmed via social media that they had dated, and the two were seen together on the red carpet at the Eighth Annual Race to Erase MS event in Los Angeles, accompanied by Williams’ daughter, Ashley. Despite the end of these relationships, Harris has found lasting partnership with Emhoff, who continues to support her both personally and professionally.
