Kamala Harris' husband admits to cheating on first wife: I took responsibility

US Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, admitted on Saturday to cheating on his first wife, following a British tabloid's report claiming he once got the family nanny pregnant.

He had an affair with a blonde nanny, Najen Naylor, who taught at the private school attended by his two children, The Daily Mail reported.

This took place more than 15 years ago, while Emhoff was still married to his then-wife, Kerstin.

A close friend familiar with the situation disclosed that Naylor became pregnant but didn't keep the baby.

Emhoff, in a statement to CNN, acknowledged the affair without mentioning Naylor's name or addressing the pregnancy.

Speaking with CNN, he stated, “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."

Meanwhile, his first wife, Kerstin, stated in a statement on Saturday, “Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons, many years ago. He is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great friend to me, and I am really proud of the warm and supportive blended family Doug, Kamala, and I have built together.”

CNN, while citing a source, reported that the affair was disclosed to President Biden's vetting panel four years ago before he selected Kamala Harris as his running mate for the 2020 US presidential elections.
