Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons, many years ago,” Kerstin told The Washington Post hours after her ex-husband’s CNN confession. The film producer, who was married to Mr Emhoff from 1992 to 2008, had earlier defended his current wife and Vice President Kamala Harris after she was attacked by Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, for his 'childless cat ladies' remark.

“He is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great friend to me, and I am really proud of the warm and supportive blended family Doug, Kamala, and I have built together,” Kerstin continued, signalling there is no bad blood between the two. The couple shares two kids, Ella and Cole, who are now young adults.
