Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff on Saturday admitted to cheating on his first wife. 

Mr. Emhoff, the Second Gentlemen, conceded he had an affair while married to then-wife Kerstin more than fifteen years ago with their nanny at the time, Najen Naylor.

The bombshell admission from Mr. Emhoff, 59, about the affair came after a close friend with knowledge of the extra-marital relationship told The Daily Mail that Ms. Naylor got pregnant and did not keep the baby, but it is not known what exactly that meant.

Mr. Emhoff released a statement to CNN shortly after the outlet’s report.

“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,” Mr. Emhoff said.

A source told CNN that President Biden’s tight circle of 2020 campaign advisors were told about Mr. Emhoff’s affair with Ms. Naylor four years ago when they were vetting Ms. Harris to be Mr. Biden’s running mate.

Additionally, according to the source, Mr. Emhoff told Ms. Harris about the affair well before they were wedded and that the relationship ended before Mr. Emhoff began his relationship with Ms. Harris.

The Washington Times contacted the Harris campaign for comment but did not immediately hear back.

When asked by the Daily Mail at her New York home about the affair and the pregnancy, Ms. Naylor did not refute either and reportedly said, “I’m kind of freaked out right now.”

Ms. Naylor previously taught at a California private school, where the two Emhoff children of the formerly married couple had attended.    

Mr. Emhoff and his ex-wife, a film producer, divorced in 2009, citing “irreconcilable differences” in their court filings, following her discovery of the affair, the outlet notes. They have two grown children, Cole, 29, and Ella, 25.

The Times reached out to Ms. Emhoff and Ms. Naylor for comment.
