">helped remove a protestor who approached Harris onstage and took her mic during her MoveOn Big Ideas Forum speech. Afterwards, #DougHive assembled at unprecedented numbers on Twitter, leading Emhoff to tweet, "Thx for all the kind notes. We are good. I love ⁦@KamalaHarris and would do anything for her."

He won't be a political adviser for the Biden/Harris administration.

Although Emhoff has been a major presence on the campaign trail, he won't become an official political adviser after Harris is sworn in. "I'm her husband, that's it," Emhoff told Peoplein a joint interview with Harris. "She's got plenty of great people giving her political advice. I'm her partner, I'm her best friend and I'm her husband. And that's what I'm here for. I'm here to have her back."

Instead, Emhoff is joining Georgetown Law as a professor that is "separate and apart from his official role as second gentleman," a transition spokesperson told NPR. According to the outlet, Emhoff will be a distinguished fellow of Georgetown Law's Institute for Technology Law and Policy, while teaching a spring course on entertainment law disputes. This also means he will exit from his position at the DLA Piper Law Firm. "I've long wanted to teach and serve the next generation of young lawyers," Emhoff said in the statement, per NPR. "I couldn't be more excited to join the Georgetown community."

Emhoff will also retain use of the Twitter handle @SecondGentleman for his stint in the White House. As of inauguration day, the account has already gained half a million followers.

He has two children, Cole and Ella, from a previous marriage.

Emhoff has two children with his ex-wife Kerstin. In a Mother's Day 2019 essay for ELLE, Harris pointed out that his kids were named Cole after jazz saxophonist John Coltrane and Ella after Ella Fitzgerald. Harris wrote that initially, she was nervous about meeting the children as a kid of divorced parents herself. "As a child of divorce, I knew how hard it could be when your parents start to date other people," said. "And I was determined not to insert myself in their lives until Doug and I had established we were in this for the long haul. Children need consistency; I didn’t want to insert myself into their lives as a temporary fixture because I didn’t want to disappoint them. There’s nothing worse than disappointing a child."

But while Harris may have had "butterflies" about meeting Cole, a graduate of Colorado College, and Emma, a Fine Arts student at Parsons School of Design, there was no need to worry. "Cole and Ella could not have been more welcoming," Harris wrote for ELLE. "They are brilliant, talented, funny kids who have grown to be remarkable adults. I was already hooked on Doug, but I believe it was Cole and Ella who reeled me in." A few years after Harris and Emhoff married, they decided against "stepmom" as her moniker and instead opted for "Momala."

Harris wrote that she and Emhoff's ex Kerstin "hit it off ourselves and are dear friends," adding, "She and I became a duo of cheerleaders in the bleachers at Ella’s swim meets and basketball games, often to Ella’s embarrassment. We sometimes joke that our modern family is almost a little too functional."

Kerstin, founder of the production company Prettybird, confirmed her bond with Harris to Marie Claire. “When [Doug and Kamala] first started dating and [Kamala] was [attorney general of California], I just thought, Wow, that’s cool. Don’t mess this up!” she recalled.

In a recent profile for The New York Times, Cole and Ella reflected on their father (whom they call "Doug') and his enduring romance with Harris. When asked to describe them as a couple, Cole offered, "It depends on the setting. Because Doug and Kamala together are like almost vomit-inducingly cute and coupley. I’m like, When is this going to wear off?" Ella added, "It’s so insane. It’s like the honeymoon phase forever. Like, the rest of the world gets to see it on social media, but we live that."

He's Jewish.

Emhoff has been branded a "Hot Jewish Dad Crush" on the internet and references his faith on social media. During Rosh Hashanah last year, he shared a photo of himself, Harris, Cole, and Ella in honor of the holiday. "This Rosh Hashanah, I’m re-committing myself to do everything I can to help heal our nation & repair the world. My new year's wish is that you will join me. From my family to yours, Shana tova! P.S. throwback pic of the fam when we could all be together -- miss you, love you," he captioned the snap.

Emhoff first met Harris on a blind date.

The pair was introduced by one of Harris's friends, PR consultant Chrisette Hudlin, per THR. The set-up happened a few years after Emhoff's divorce and while Harris was serving as attorney general of California. Hudlin recently told Marie Clairethat she met Emhoff through work and decided to set the pair up when he recalled meeting Harris at a lawyer function. “And he said something to the effect of ‘She’s really hot,’” Hudlin remembered, adding, “He was complimenting her, and at the same time he was admiring her, and I liked that. I thought, Oh, what’s your deal?”

After their first date, Emhoff reportedly emailed Harris the next morning and confessed, "I really like you." He proposed one night while Harris was deciding whether to have chicken or shrimp pad thai for dinner. They were engaged after a year of dating, on March 27, 2017, per the the San Francisco Chronicle.
