After recent photos of Kamala Harris and her husband out in public surfaced online, many netizens swooned over the couple, who have previously divulged details about their shared life.

Last Thursday, January 23, 2025, former Vice President (VP) Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were spotted at 99 Ranch Market Asian Grocery store in Westwood, California. The widely discussed outing comes months after Harris gave Emhoff a sweet shoutout during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in August 2024.

Dressed casually for their low-key outing, Harris and Emhoff appeared relaxed as they navigated the aisles of the grocery store. The former VP wore a denim button-up shirt over a black top. She paired this with black pants and a matching baseball cap.

Gold hoop earrings and a delicate necklace added a touch of elegance to her effortlessly chic look. Emhoff complemented Harris’ relaxed style in a dark polo shirt and khaki pants.

Inside the store, Harris was all smiles, appearing at ease in her return to civilian life. At one point, Emhoff acknowledged onlookers with a friendly wave. After completing their shopping, the couple was spotted carrying plastic bags as they exited the store.

As photos and videos of Harris and Emhoff’s grocery store visit circulated online, social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the couple’s outing.

Many were enamored with their seemingly effortless connection, with one fan gushing, “They are so in love. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾,” while another praised, “A real marriage ❤️.” A fellow fan chimed in with, “We miss you Dug [sic] and dear Kamala❤️👏.”

Another admirer expressed, “They look so natural.” “she [sic] is so relatable,” added someone else, referencing Harris.

Meanwhile, a commenter observed, “I love how husband waves at public eye when video at them [sic].” Similarly, another noted, “Im [sic] sure they had no idea the cameras would be there.”

Taken aback by Harris and Emhoff’s transition from political office to everyday routines, a netizen marveled, “From White House to Whole Foods in 4 days, that’s crazy.”

Meanwhile, some simply appreciated the glimpse into their daily lives, with one person sharing, “I❤️this. My husband always shops with me to [sic].”

With a radiant smile, Harris playfully tried to settle the excitement. “Ok, let’s get to business, let’s get to business! Alright,” she said, her joy evident.

Then, turning her focus to Emhoff, she swooned, “So, let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, Doug, for being an incredible partner to me, an incredible father to Cole and Ella, and happy anniversary, Dougie. I love you so very much.”

The sweet moment was made even more touching when Emhoff, visibly moved, looked at his wife with pure adoration before blowing her a kiss.

Just as Harris took a moment to publicly honor her husband at the DNC, Emhoff did the same years earlier in 2020, marking their anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post. In the photograph, Harris and Emhoff can be seen locked in a passionate kiss, while standing in an opulent wedding hall.

Alongside the throwback photo from their wedding day, Emhoff penned a touching tribute to his wife. “Dearest Kamala: here’s to us, our family, friends and our beautiful life together. Wouldn’t change a thing. Happy Anniversary! Love, D,” wrote the doting husband, capturing the deep affection they have shared since the beginning of their marriage.

Beyond their public appearances and heartwarming social media tributes, Harris and Emhoff have spoken about their relationship in past interviews.

Speaking to People in 2023, the couple shared an intimate glimpse into their life together, emphasizing how they prioritize each other at the start and end of each day, despite their demanding careers.

“We try to approach those moments as husband and wife, not vice president and second gentleman,” explained Emhoff at the time.

He described their daily routine as a balance between checking in on logistics in the morning—quick exchanges of “Where are you today?” and “Love you too. Have a great day”—and carving out meaningful time in the evenings.

“But to the extent we’re able to have that connection at night, it’s really couple time: time talking about kids, family, and very little about the workings of our days,” highlighted Emhoff. For Harris, family has always been at the center of her happiness. Known affectionately as “Momala” by her stepdaughter and stepson, she cherishes the role she plays in their lives.

“It’s the name the kids gave me, and I wear it proudly,” boasted Harris. One of her greatest joys, she added, is cooking amid the company of her family—a tradition that brings generations together.

Recalling a moment during her stepson’s wedding weekend, she fondly shared, “My baby nieces, my husband gets up early and does his coffee and whatever, and they just came running in my room and then jumped in bed with me, and we just talked and laughed.”

Whether making history on the political stage or enjoying the simple pleasure of a grocery store run, Harris and Emhoff continue to be a couple whose bond is admired by many.
