Harris' loved ones are stepping into the spotlight. That includes the vice
president's stepchildren, Ella Emhoff and Cole Emhoff, whom she shares with
her husband, Doug Emhoff. Here's everything to know about the two
siblings behind Kamala's Mamala persona, starting with Cole the 29 year old,
mostly his life out of the spotlight. However, the world got more acquainted
with him in August at the Democratic National Convention where he introduced
his dad, second gentleman, Doug Emhoff. He also narrated a touching tribute
video that was all about Harris's impact on his family through the years
after Doug and the vice president married in 2014,
she took over Sunday night dinners and taught Doug how to actually cook. Our
blended family wasn't used to politics or the spotlight. But when Kamala
became senator, we were all excited to step up, especially my dad. Then Kamala
became vice president.
It felt like Doug was a bit out of place on Capitol Hill. I thought what
is my goofy dad doing here?
But he embraced it. Mamala even officiated Cole's 2023 wedding to
Greenly Littlejohn while Cole mostly keeps his presence on social media
quiet. He does have a Hollywood connection as he works for Brad Pitt's
production company, Plan B Entertainment. And speaking of
Hollywood connections, let's move on Cole's younger sister, Ella Emhoff, who
is much more of a fixture on the red carpet these days. That's because the
25 year old is a model artist and fashion designer who caught everyone's
attention at the 2021 inauguration in a jewel dripped mou coat. A graduate of
the Parsons School of Design in New York City. Ella has gone on to sign
with IMG models, walk the runway and even attend the Met Gala. She took
center stage at the Democratic National Convention alongside Kamala Harris's
niece and goddaughter to explain what the president elect meant to her during
her teenage years when they met Kamala came into my life when I was 14,
famously a very easy time for a teenager.
Like a lot of young people. I didn't always understand what I was feeling,
but no matter what Kamala was there for me, she was patient caring and always
took me seriously. She's never stopped listening to me and she's not gonna
stop listening to all of us.
