Kamala Harris/Doug Emhoff's husband admits to extramarital affair with…

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, admitted on Saturday that he had an extramarital affair during his first marriage, while the tabloid "Daily Mail" reported that he had impregnated his children's teacher.

"During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some difficult times because of my actions," Emhoff said in a statement to CNN about his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff.

"I took charge and in the years that followed, we worked things out as a family and came out stronger on the other side."

Emhoff and his first wife were married from 1992 to 2009, and they have two grown children – Cole, 29, and Ella, 25.

Doug and Kerstin ended their marriage, according to the Daily Mail, after Kamala Harris' current husband had an extramarital affair with the children's teacher who taught at their school.

According to the Daily Mail, the unnamed teacher did not keep the child, although it is unclear what happened to the baby, or if Emhoff was ever involved in the child's life.

Sources told the Daily Mail that the pregnant teacher had to quit her job as a teacher at The Willows, an elite private elementary school in Culver City, California, where she had also taught the Emhoff children.

Harris met Emhoff in 2013, when she was serving as California's attorney general, and they married in 2014.

Harris knew about the affair before they were married, and the Biden 2020 campaign knew it when it was vetting her for Biden's VP pick, CNN reported.

"Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a number of reasons many years ago," Kerstin Emhoff said in a statement to CNN. "He is a great father to our children, continues to be a great friend to me, and I am truly proud of the warm and supportive blended family that Doug, Kamala and I have built together."
