Kamala Harris’ husband cheated on his first wife with the nanny

Following a Daily Mail report that second gentleman Doug Emhoff cheated on his first wife with his children’s nanny, Emhoff acknowledged the affair in a statement to CNN. The story comes as Vice President Kamala Harris, Emhoff’s current wife, has emerged as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

“During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through difficult times because of my actions,” Harris’ husband told CNN. “I took responsibility and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and came out stronger.”

The statement came after The Daily Mail reported that Emhoff had an affair with Najen Naylor (now 47) in 2006, when she was his children’s nanny and also his children’s teacher at his “expensive private school,” The Willows, where tuition fees range from $32,525 to $41,535.

Emhoff was married at the time to his ex-wife Kerstin Emhoff, and the couple had two children, who are now adults, according to the publication.

According to The Daily Mail, that romance ended with a pregnancy, but Naylor allegedly “did not keep the child.” She has not responded to The Daily Signal’s requests for comment.

The publication did not clarify whether the baby in question was given up for adoption or aborted. The Daily Mail reports that Naylor’s social media accounts “show a video of a mysterious little girl named Brook from 2009, the year the baby was reportedly born.”

The Daily Mail reached out to Naylor at her home in the Hamptons and asked for comment on the story, but she had no comment beyond saying: “I’m a bit scared right now.”

Kerstin Emhoff, the second gentleman’s first wife, told CNN: “Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons many years ago. He is a great father to our children, remains a great friend to me and I am so proud of the warm and supportive family that Doug, Kamala and I have built together.”

He also recently defended Harris as “loving, protective, fiercely protective and always there,” in response to criticism from Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance, describing Harris as “co-parenting with Doug and I.”

In a recent social media post, Kerstin Emhoff predicted that Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, would divorce before next year, writing in an X-rated post in July: “Usha will be in the ex-wives club in 2025. Mark my words.”
