2 october 2024 в 23:37
After the November 2020 elections, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, were thrust into the political spotlight. As the 59-year-old politician nears the end of her term working alongside President Joe Biden, she is focused on her campaign for the upcoming elections. Endorsed by the 81-year-old president as the Democratic candidate for the November 2024 elections, she continues to have the full support of her 59-year-old husband.
The couple has built an incredibly strong bond throughout their marriage, which is the first for a vice president and the second for a second gentleman. After marrying the second gentleman, the vice president became a «momala» to Cole Emhoff and Ella Emhoff, who have also captured the attention of many across the country. Learn more about this blended family, their relationships with each other, as well as about Cole and Ella!
Vice President Harris' relationships with Cole and Ella began slowly, as Cole told Glamour magazine in October 2020. «At first, I was a little overwhelmed, honestly», - Cole shared, upon learning that his father was dating then-California Attorney General Harris. «Doug said, 'I met this woman. She’s cool. I’m in love with her.' And Doug hadn’t talked about his personal life for a long time. He said, 'But you should know, she’s the Attorney General of California.' I said, 'Okay, so what.'» At the time, Cole was a high school senior preparing to go to college.
But when he finally met Vice President Harris, Cole immediately understood how special his father’s relationship with her was. «I think for all of us, it was love at first sight. We had an incredible evening at one of my favorite restaurants — The Reel Inn. We drove along the Pacific Coast Highway for a long time, sharing music. I got to know her on a much more personal level — her musical tastes, her culinary skills, how she interacts with Doug, which was funny. She was just teasing him. It was perfect», - Cole admired his stepmother.
«When we met her, I was about to start high school, so I was in an equally intense time, but for different, more angsty reasons», - Ella explained to Glamour magazine in October 2020. «When he just talked about her, it seemed serious because I heard it in his voice. When we met, everything was so natural that it wasn’t even a big deal. It felt like we had known each other our whole lives. And I think it was important to get to know her first as a person — a person, not a politician».
As a young woman coming into her own, Ella is delighted to see her «momala» thriving in her new, historic role in the country’s government. «Separating her family relationships with me, I think it was long overdue», - Ella explained. «It's so inspiring to see someone who is so confident in themselves and not backing down. It’s very important to see that she is so confident in her self-assertion. She doesn’t see it as a weakness, and she’s not afraid. To see someone fighting alongside Joe for the highest positions — I hope it will open doors for many more women, especially women of color, to just fight and hopefully succeed. I think we needed someone like her».
Despite the distance, unique schedules, and even different time zones, Vice President Harris, Second Gentleman, Ella, and Cole still find ways to maintain their close bond. Starting from Ella and Cole’s first meeting with Kamala and the beginning of their real connection with her, family dinners have become a huge part of the second family’s routine and time. The family always gathered for Sunday dinners. But due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as different time zones, these meetings have become more challenging.
