They have been married for six years and have been together the longest, but the Vice President-elect of the United States, Kamala Harris, and her husband Doug Emhoff have been learning new things about each other and sharing the same with the world.
In a recent interview for CBS News Sunday morning, the couple shared some lesser known facts about their relationship, including when Harris had to Google Emhoff before their first date in 2013.
“My best friend set us up on a blind date. She said, “Trust me.” She wanted me to look into it. And she said, ‘Don’t Google it,’ and I did, ”Harris told host Jane Pauley, while Emhoff looked surprised.
For his part, Emhoff – who already knew a bit about Harris (who was then California’s attorney general) – revealed: “One of my friends was in town and we went to the Lakers game… I told him the story. I said, ‘What do you think I should text him?’ We sat on the bleachers and we came up with this text that was something like, ‘Hey, I’m Doug. Clumsy. I’m sending you a text message. ‘”
The rest is history. But, if there is one other thing Harris loves deeply, after her husband, it is “Chucks.” She has been seen wearing them numerous times, and during the interview, she even admitted that the Converse are her “casual option.”
“You know, I grew up with Chucks. I just love them. They are comfortable, ”she said, while her husband joked that he has“ several closets full of them ”.
“When I met her, it was Chucks and jeans,” he said.
In a few days, Doug Emhoff will make history as the first husband of a vice president of the United States. Previously, during an interview with CNNWhen host Jake Tapper asked Harris to clarify how Americans should refer to Emhoff, she said, “I think the term has become the ‘second gentleman.’
And when asked if she would also call her husband that, Harris replied, “No, I’ll call him ‘honey.’
The couple married on August 22, 2014 in Santa Barbara, California. Harris is a stepmother to her husband’s two children from his previous marriage.
