Kamala Harris Celebrates 11th Wedding Anniversary with ‘Best Partner’ Douglas Emhoff

Thank you for being the best partner in this adventure called life,” former Vice President Harris wrote on Instagram
Harris, 60, shared a sweet snap with Emhoff, also 60, on Instagram. “Happy Anniversary my Dougie,” she wrote. “You fill my heart with love and laughter — thank you for being the best partner in this adventure called life,” the post, shared on Friday, Aug. 22, read.
In the photo, Harris, wearing a pale pink button-up shirt, hugs Emhoff as they sit side-by-side in a restaurant together. Emhoff wore a classic black polo shirt.
The couple met in 2013, when they were set up on a blind date by Harris’ friend Chrisette Hudlin. In an interview with CBS News’ Sunday Morning in January 2020, Harris revealed that the date wasn’t technically blind, and that she Googled her future husband before she met him.
“I did!” Harris said with a laugh, while Emhoff smiled and said, “Oh. This is a reveal!”
“So, yes, my best friend set us up on a blind date,” Harris explained. “And she said, ‘Just trust me. Just trust me.’ You know, she wanted me to just kind of go into it, and she said, ‘Don’t Google him.’ I did!”
The couple tied the knot in 2014 at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, Calif.
Emhoff also shared a tribute to his wife of 11 years. “11 years! Through it all, my love for @kamalaharris has only grown,” Emhoff’s Instagram post read. “I’m so proud of her, looking forward to her book, and excited for what’s ahead. ❤️.”
In Emhoff’s photo, the couple pose for a quick behind-the-scenes selfie in full glam – with Emhoff in a tux.
The book to which Emhoff referred, 107 Days, will chronicle Harris’ run for president. The former VP announced the book in July.
On July 21, 2024, former President Joe Biden withdrew his reelection bid and endorsed Harris as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate in his place. Harris announced her new memoir almost a year to the date since her bid for the presidency began. The title is a nod to the length of her campaign.
In a video announcing her upcoming memoir, Harris recalled the “intense, high-stakes and deeply personal” 107 days of her campaign.
