Doug Emhoff is celebrating a major marriage milestone.

The former second gentleman, 61, took to Instagram over the weekend to gush over his wife Kamala Harris as the pair marked their 12th wedding anniversary.

Sharing photos of Harris, 61, from their wedding album, Emhoff wrote: “Time to check the wedding album again! An amazing 12 years. Whatever comes our way, we are always in it together. Love you Kamala!❤️.”

Harris also celebrated the occasion in a post of her own, sharing a look at their special day.

“Happy anniversary to the best partner I could ask for. I love you so very much, Dougie,” the former Vice President wrote.

The posts come amid swirling rumors about the pair’s marriage following Harris’ loss to President Donald Trump during the 2024 election.

According to a May report from the National Enquirer, Harris has been living in a pricey home in Malibu, California, while Emhoff remains in their Brentwood property in L.A., as the former U.S. senator prepares for the 2028 presidential election.

“Kamala is focused on trying to win the Democratic nomination again — with or without Doug’s support!” an insider told the outlet.

It also follows the news of Emhoff’s affair during his previous marriage, which broke during the 2024 campaign. Emhoff and his first wife, Kerstin, were married for 16 years and welcomed two children, Cole, 31, and Ella, 27, before divorcing in 2010.

Harris revealed in her memoir 107 Days that she knew about her husband’s indiscretions before they went public.

Even so, the insider told the National Enquirer, “that was an embarrassing revelation that did her candidacy no favors. In fact, the demands on Doug during the entire campaign put a strain on their marriage.”

And while Harris is intent on continuing a life in politics, the insider told the outlet that Emhoff, a former entertainment attorney, is instead seeking a modicum of privacy following the election.

“Both of their images were battered in the last election,” said the source. “The last thing Emhoff wanted was for his affair to become public fodder, and all the criticism of her performance added to the strain between them.”

As for whether the separate dwellings signal trouble in paradise, it is unclear, with the insider telling the Enquirer at the time that Emhoff is not likely to be involved in Harris’ next bid for the White House.

“He wants her to quit so they can go back to living a private life,” the insider added. “Another White House run will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.”
