Vice President Kamala Harris is known for her role as “Momala” to her two stepchildren, Cole and Ella Emhoff. With Harris’ political career gaining momentum, the Emhoff siblings are also receiving attention. Ella, 25, recently defended her family against comments from GOP figure JD Vance, who referred to Harris and other Democrats as “childless cat ladies.” Ella emphasized her love for her three parents and the close bond she shares with Harris, who has been a co-parent to her and Cole for over a decade.
Both Cole, 29, and Ella have embraced their stepmother’s fame, with Ella becoming a social media influencer and model since President Joe Biden’s presidential run and the pandemic. She has garnered a following with her unique fashion sense and knitting club. Cole, on the other hand, has a quieter social media presence but has displayed his strong relationship with Harris, including having her officiate his wedding. The siblings have attended various high-profile events with their family, showing support for Harris and their father, Doug Emhoff.
The Emhoff siblings describe their blended family dynamic as loving and supportive, with Harris being an essential part of their lives since their teenage years. They appreciate the unique bond they share with their stepmother and the opportunities that come with being part of a high-profile political family. Despite the challenges of navigating their newfound fame, they are adjusting to their roles and the public scrutiny that comes with being part of the second family.
