Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, has publicly acknowledged an affair during his first marriage that ended in a scandalous revelation.
A Shocking Confession
In response to a report published on Saturday, Doug Emhoff confirmed that he had cheated on his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, with their child's babysitter. This admission comes years after the events unfolded, shedding light on the turbulent end of his first marriage.
Details of the Affair
According to sources, the affair was with Najen Naylor, a teacher at the private school where the Emhoff children were enrolled. The relationship reportedly led to Naylor's pregnancy, though details are scarce.
Timeline of Events:
–Affair: Occurred while Emhoff was still married.
–Pregnancy: Naylor became pregnant, but it's unclear what happened with the child.
–Divorce: The Emhoffs finalized their divorce in 2010.
Emhoff's Statement
Doug Emhoff released a statement addressing the affair:
“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.”
What Happened to the Child?
The fate of Naylor's pregnancy remains uncertain. According to the Daily Mail, Naylor did not keep the child, but details about whether the child was placed for adoption or if an abortion took place have not been disclosed:
The woman, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached by DailyMail.com at her home in the New York millionaires' playground, The Hamptons.
She would not comment, except to say, ‘I'm kind of freaked out right now.'
A close friend with direct knowledge of the affair and pregnancy told DailyMail.com that Naylor did not keep the child – though her social media shows a video of a mysterious baby girl named Brook in 2009, the year the baby would have been born.
Another friend, Stacey Brooks, who mothered twin boys around the same time as Naylor was expecting, also did not deny any of the claims – but said she would not divulge further information without Naylor's permission.
The Aftermath and Moving Forward
The affair and subsequent events led to the subsequent dissolution of the Emhoff's marriage. The divorce was finalized in 2010.
