Photos of Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff’s relationship through the years

While Kamala Harris’ campaign for president will pick apart her beliefs, her policies, and her goals for the future of the United States, it has also shed light on her relationship with Doug Emhoff and their beautiful blended family. After all, her family is not exactly What presidential families were like in the past.

But Harris has still stood by her family, including her stepchildren Ella and Cole Emhoff, and they have bravely supported her, too.

“(My younger sister) Ella and I would laugh watching them fall in love, acting like teenagers,” Cole recalled in a touching video at the Democratic National Convention in August. “In 2014, Kamala became Momala. She took over Sunday night dinners and taught Doug how to really cook.”

“Our blended family wasn’t used to politics or being in the spotlight, but when Kamala became a senator, we were all excited to step up, especially my dad,” he continued. “Then Kamala became vice president. I felt like Doug was a little out of place at the Capitol. I was like, ‘What is my dumb dad doing here?’ But he embraced it… I was so proud to watch him do it, to be by his side, an example of true collaboration.”
