Lawyer Douglas Emhoff has made history as the first second gentleman of the United States. He was there for his wife Kamala Harris, 59, as the former California senator was sworn in as Vice President of the United States at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 20, 2021, as Joe Biden, 77, became our 46th president. Shortly after Biden and Harris victory was announced, Douglas took to Twitter to share a sweet photo of himself giving his lady love a big hug after she found out the wonderful news. So proud of you, he wrote in the caption along with two red heart and two American flag emojis.

His support is unwavering as the 59-year-old continues to stand by his wife, who is running for president as the Democratic candidate and awaiting her interview on 60 Minutes on October 7, 2024. This comes after President Biden endorsed her following his withdrawal from the November 2024 election. Kamala, who made history as Americas first female, Black, and South Asian vice president, is campaigning alongside her running mate,Tim Walz, as they prepare to face Donald Trump and J.D. Vance in the 2024 presidential election.

Ever since Joe revealed Kamala was his VP pick in August, Douglas vowed to be ready to work as the Nov. 3 Election Day drew closer and closer, and thats exactly what he did. So, whos the lucky man that gets to be Kamalas husband? Heres the answer to that question below:

Douglas shares a love for law with Kamala. He attended University of Southern Californias Gould School of Law, and is now a partner at DLA Piper (a global law firm). He represents large domestic and international corporations and some of todays highest profile individuals and influencers in complex business, real estate and intellectual property litigation disputes, Douglass bio reads on the law firms website.

One of his clients included TBWA, the ad agency which developed the Taco Bell Chihuahua. This led Wrench, a company based in Michigan, to sue Taco Bell over breach of contract because it claimed to have created the Psycho Chihuahua, according to Douglass profile in The Hollywood Reporter. Douglas kept TBWA from taking on the financial burden of this lawsuit bill.

Before Kamala entered his life, Douglas was married to a woman named Kerstin whom he welcomed two children with (a son named Cole, who graduated from Colorado College in 2017, and their daughter Ella, who is studying at Parsons School of Design, according to a 2018 Vogue article).

After Douglas divorced from Kerstin, he was a single dad who was eventually set up on a blind date with Kamala by PR consultant Chrisette Hudlin in 2013, according to his aforementioned profile in THR. It was a great idea, because Douglas and Kamala were married by 2014. Kamala now even has a close relationship with Douglass children, as well as her husbands ex-wife!

They [Douglass kids] are my endless source of love and pure joy. I am so thankful to Doug, to Kerstin, and most of all, to Ella and Cole, the senator wrote in an Elle essay for Mothers Day 2019. Douglas and his two children even posed for a sweet photo to share on Kamalas 54th birthday in Oct. 2018, which you can see above.

He is often seen by the senators side at events, repping her Kamala T-shirt and his Twitter page is basically a fan account for Kamala, where he often retweets her posts and television appearances. He also shares sneak peeks into their married life, such as this fireworks date. His presence in her and Joes presidential campaign didnt go unnoticed and he proved he would go above and beyond to support his wife and her opportunity to become vice president.

From spending his 56th birthday asking for votes in Virginia parking lots to greeting potential voters in his Biden-Harris gear in such a low-key way that most people didnt realize who he was, he has been there for Kamala when she was running for president and then vice president, and his dedication has never wavered. Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), who has campaigned with Emhoff, even called him an election-year sensation, the Washington Post reported.

We need you to register, we need you to vote, and we need you to help elect her the next President of the United States.
