Kerstin Emhoff Had A Key Role In Doug Emhoff Short Film Shown At The DNC
Kerstin Emhoff, the ex-wife of Doug Emhoff, was involved in the making of a touching short film about the second gentleman, which was shown at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night.
In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, Kerstin Emhoff, a film and TV producer, shared that she produced the short film through her production company, Ventureland.
The film, “This is My Dad Doug,” is narrated by her son, Cole, whom she shares with her ex-husband.
Kerstin and Doug Emhoff divorced in 2008 after 16 years of marriage. Doug Emhoff wed Vice President Kamala Harris in 2014.
In addition to Cole, 29, Kerstin and Doug Emhoff also have a daughter, Ella, 25.
“Thank you to all that helped make this,” Kerstin Emhoff wrote about the short film in the caption of the post.
“This is My Dad Doug” features anecdotes about the second gentleman’s upbringing, as well as various photos and video clips capturing his life as a dad.
In the video, Cole also reflects on his parents’ divorce and his dad later marrying Harris.
“My parents split when I was in middle school and that wasn’t easy,” he says. “That’s not easy for any kid. But it helped that my parents stayed friends and we all kept hanging together.”
“And then he met Kamala,” he later continues. “The blind date that would dramatically change all of our lives forever. It was my senior year of high school — Ella and I would laugh watching them fall in love, acting like teenagers.”
“In 2014, Kamala became ‘Momala,’” he adds.
Kerstin Emhoff has been outspoken about her support for her ex-husband and Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee.
Last month, she slammed conservatives who described Harris as “childless” as a line of attack. The vice president has faced scrutiny
