In 2013, Kamala Harris, then Attorney General of California, met Douglas Emhoff, a Los Angeles entertainment lawyer, through a blind date arranged by Harris’s close friend, Chrisette Hudlin. Their meeting would spark a love story that quickly grew into a deep bond. Emhoff confirmed how they met in a heartfelt tweet on Harris's birthday in 2020, where he wrote: “Blind date, love at first sight, marriage, family, and an incredible life together. Through it all, no matter what, she is ALWAYS there for me and our family without hesitation.” Their relationship blossomed after the blind date, with both Harris and Emhoff finding common ground in their professional and personal lives. Within a year of meeting, Emhoff proposed, and the couple married in a small, intimate ceremony on August 22, 2014. Harris became a stepmother to Emhoff’s two children from his previous marriage, Ella and Cole, whom she lovingly refers to as "Momala." Their blended family has become a central and cherished part of Harris’s life, with Emhoff publicly expressing his admiration for her devotion to both family and career. As Harris ascended in her political career, culminating in her historic role as Vice President of the United States in 2020, Emhoff has been a constant presence, fully embracing his role as the nation’s first-ever "Second Gentleman." Their love story is seen as a testament to partnership, balance, and unwavering support. #KamalaHarris #DouglasEmhoff #BlindDate #LoveStory #Momala #SecondGentleman #Family #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife
