Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris and husband Douglas Emhoff have opened up about their life together in a sit-down interview with CBS, sharing new details of how they met and fell in love in 2013 after being set up on a blind date, as well as the rewards of building a blended family.
"When you first got the friend who said, 'There's a guy, and he's a good one. And don't Google him.' You totally Googled him, didn't you?" Journalist Jane Pauley asked the Senator.
"Ooh. This is a reveal!" Emhoff responded.
"I've never been asked that. I did!" Harris admitted with a laugh.
"Oh, that's so funny you asked me that question. So, yes, my best friend set us up on a blind date. And she said, 'Just trust me. Just trust me. Just don't …' You know, she wanted me to just kind of go into it, and she said, 'Don't Google him.' I did!"
Harris later tweeted a video of the interview, including the caption, "Thankfully Google didn't scare me away."
The couple also spoke about their diverse family unit, which includes children Ella and Cole from Emhoff's first marriage.
"We have family in Italy. My sister-in-law married an Italian, so they live there with their two children," Harris said.
She added: "India, we have an aunt and an uncle there. Canada. Brooklyn! Oakland."
"It reflects America," Emhoff said.
"And that's what it should be. It should just be about love and unity."
Social media users were quick to celebrate the interview.
Another wrote: "I love this! Kamala and Doug are without a doubt the cutest couple to ever live at the Naval Observatory."
