Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff admits to cheating on first wife after bombshell report he impregnated nanny
Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff on Saturday admitted cheating on his first wife, following a bombshell report claiming he once got the family nanny pregnant.
The second gentleman reportedly strayed from then-wife Kerstin over a decade-and-a-half ago with a blonde nanny, Najen Naylor, who taught at a private school attended by their two kids.
Naylor did not keep the baby, a close friend with direct knowledge of the affair and pregnancy told The Daily Mail. It’s unclear what, exactly, the friend meant.
Hours after the outlet’s report, Emhoff admitted having an affair in a statement to CNN that didn’t name Naylor or address her alleged 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 conversations told CNN.
The person also said Emhoff told Harris about the affair well before they got married and that the relationship ended before Emhoff began dating Harris.
Naylor didn’t deny the affair or pregnancy when approached by the Daily Mail at her Hamptons home.
“I’m kind of freaked out right now,” she reportedly said.
Naylor could not immediately be reached for additional comment Saturday.

One of Naylor’s neighbors outside of her modest, rustic Hampton Bays home, told The Post she is “a very nice lady” who was pregnant when they first met.
“When she moved in three years ago, she was pregnant and said the baby was from a sperm donor,” the neighbor said.
Stacey Brooks, a friend of Naylor’s who gave birth to twin boys around the same time Naylor was allegedly expecting, didn’t deny the claims. Instead, she told the Daily Mail she could not discuss the matter without Naylor’s permission.
The news is reportedly causing serious concern in Harris’ camp despite recent polls showing former President Donald Trump’s battleground-state advantage appears to have evaporated since the veep became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Emhoff, 59, and his movie producer ex-wife divorced in 2009 after she apparently discovered the affair, sources told the outlet. They have a son Cole, 29, and a daughter Ella, a 25-year-old model and fashion designer.
The couple cited “irreconcilable differences” in their divorce papers, records show.
Messages left with Harris’ camp were not returned Saturday. Kerstin Emhoff, 57, could not immediately be reached.
In September 2009, Naylor posted a video on Facebook to “introduce’ three babies, which she captioned, “Baby party!”
Two of the babies were Brooks’ children, born two months prior to the post.
The third child, who appears slightly younger, does not appear to be Brooks’ daughter, and is not in any later Facebook family photos. It is unclear who the third child’s mother is.
After the alleged affair, which appeared to have taken place around 2008 or 2009, Naylor allegedly had to leave her job as a teacher at The Willows, a swanky private elementary school in Culver City, California, where she had been teaching the Emhoff children and moonlighting as a nanny for the then-couple, the outlet reported.
Tuition fees at the K-8 school ranges from $32,525 to $41,535.
