Wiki-——Emhoff was married for 16 years to Kerstin Emhoff, née Mackin.
They have two children, Cole and Ella.
He married Kamala Harris on August 22, 2014, in Santa Barbara, California, with Kamala’s sister Maya Harris officiating. As of August 2019, Emhoff and Harris had an estimated net worth of $5.8 million.
The couple temporarily resided at Blair House, the official guest house of the president, while the official residence of the vice president, Number One Observatory Circle, underwent maintenance and renovation at the beginning of Harris’s term.
They also maintain homes in S/Francisco, Washington, DC, and the Brentwood neighborhood of LA.
Wiki-—As the first Jewish spouse of a president or vice president, Emhoff emerged as one of the Biden administration’s most prominent faces in the fight against antisemitism. The White House announced that Emhoff would lead a round table on antisemitism on December 7.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day in January 2023, Emhoff visited the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland alongside Holocaust survivors. His visit intended to pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust and to honor those who survived it.
During his time at Auschwitz, Emhoff laid a wreath at the camp’s “Wall of Death”, where thousands of prisoners were executed, and participated in a memorial service with the survivors in attendance. Harris was not present.
Emhoff was part of the White House team that launched the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, the country’s first combating antisemitism strategy, on May 25, 2023.
In the context of reactions to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Emhoff expressed concern about antisemitism in schools and on college campuses. He highlighted that conflations of Jewish identity with the actions of the Israeli government had led to increased hostility and threats against Jewish people.

Sigh of relief they aren’t homeless, or “houseless.”
‘Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in.”
from Robert Frost’s 1915 poem, “The Death of the Hired Man,
about Old Silas, who would today be called a homeless man.
