US Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, admitted on Saturday to cheating on his first wife, following a bombshell report alleging he once got the family nanny pregnant.
According to The Daily Mail, the second gentleman had an affair with a blonde nanny, Najen Naylor, who taught at the private school attended by Emhoff’s two children, more than fifteen years ago while he was still married to his then-wife, Kerstin.
A close friend with direct knowledge of the situation disclosed that Naylor became pregnant but did not keep the baby.
In a statement to CNN, Emhoff admitted to the affair without naming Naylor or addressing the pregnancy.
“During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions. I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side,” Emhoff said.
The affair was disclosed to President Biden’s vetting committee four years ago before he chose Harris as his running mate on the 2020 ticket, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN.
The source also mentioned that Emhoff informed Harris about the affair long before they got married, and that the relationship ended prior to Emhoff starting to date Harris.
However, when approached by the Daily Mail, Naylor did not refute the affair or pregnancy claims and expressed her unease about the situation.
“I’m kind of freaked out right now,” she reportedly said.
Efforts to reach Naylor for further comments on Saturday were unsuccessful.
Doug Emhoff, 59, and his movie producer ex-wife divorced in 2009, reportedly following the discovery of the affair. The couple has a son, Cole, 29, and a daughter, Ella, who is a 25-year-old model and fashion designer. Their marriage ended on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences.”
The report detailing Doug Emhoff’s scandal surfaced just hours before it quickly spread widely. It alleged that Emhoff, husband of US Vice President Kamala Harris, had an affair with their family nanny, Najen Naylor, which resulted in a pregnancy that was not carried to term. Emhoff later confirmed the affair himself.
The scandal has raised concerns within Harris’ camp amid ongoing political developments in the United States.
