Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s first marriage ended after he had an affair with his children’s nanny, who also taught at their private school, leading to her pregnancy, DailyMail.com has learned.
The woman involved, Najen Naylor, 47, did not deny the story when approached at her home in the Hamptons, New York.
A close friend with direct knowledge of the affair and pregnancy told DailyMail.com that Naylor did not keep the child, though her social media shows a video of a baby girl named Brook in 2009, the year the baby would have been born.
Another friend, Stacey Brooks, who mothered twin boys around the same time as Naylor was expecting, also did not deny any of the claims but said she would not divulge further information without Naylor’s permission.
The revelation is causing panic in Kamala Harris’s campaign, especially as she has overtaken Donald Trump in some polls and is ramping up her final push to win over voters in November.
Emhoff’s spokeswoman Liza Acevedo did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Kerstin Emhoff, Doug’s ex-wife, declined to comment.
Doug Emhoff, 59, and movie producer ex-wife Kerstin, 57, ended their 16-year marriage in 2009 when she discovered the affair, sources said. Their daughter Ella was 10 and son Cole was 15 at the time.
Sources claimed that after the affair, Naylor had to leave her job as a teacher at The Willows, an elite private elementary school in Culver City, California, where she had been teaching the Emhoff children and moonlighting as a nanny for the couple.
Current tuition fees at the kindergarten-through-8th-grade school range from $32,525 to $41,535.
A mother who sent her children to the school before 2009 said she was aware of the affair, and though she was disgusted by Emhoff, she only had positive words for Naylor, who had taught her children and nannied them on family vacations.

Another friend with intimate knowledge of the scandal confirmed the affair with Emhoff but told DailyMail.com that Naylor did not keep the baby.
In September 2009, Naylor posted a video on Facebook to ‘introduce’ three babies: Sawyer, Brook, and George, with the caption ‘Baby party!’.
Sawyer and George are the boys of Brooks, who has been her close friend since childhood in Columbus, Ohio. Those children were born in July 2009.
The third child, Brook, who appears slightly younger, does not appear to be Stacey’s daughter, and is not in any of her later Facebook family photos. It is unclear who Brook’s mother is.
Another friend replied to the 2009 video of the three babies: ‘Ahhhhh!!! Post more pics!’
When contacted by DailyMail.com and asked about the Emhoff affair, Brooks did not deny any of the information, but said that she would not comment further without Naylor’s permission.
She added that Naylor was a ‘wonderful’ woman.
A search of Los Angeles County birth records showed no registrations for a ‘Brook Naylor’ born in 2008 or 2009. There were no babies born with the last name ‘Emhoff’ in the county in those two years either.
Naylor’s LinkedIn page says she became the ‘Director of New Business Development’ at production company Broadway Video in 2011, and got her current job as ‘Senior Director, Original Entertainment Acquisition & Development’ at audiobook company Audible’s New York offices in 2018.
Audible is owned by Amazon and based in Newark, New Jersey.
Naylor grew up in Columbus, Ohio, studied at Auburn University, Alabama, and moved to Los Angeles in her 20s. She is listed on residency records as living in New York from around 2011.
She bought a waterfront house in the Hamptons in 2021 for $855,000, with a $684,000 mortgage during the Covid pandemic.

The four-bed, three-bath, refurbished barn is set away from the main road in Hampton Bays, far from prying eyes, and is currently worth an estimated $1.4 million.
One source claimed that Emhoff had a financial settlement with Naylor, and that she left her school job due to the hushed-up scandal.
Naylor is currently caring for a baby and a toddler at the home. Her back yard is littered with toys, including a Wendy house and play equipment, and boasts a pool.
She bought the home three years after taking her job at Audible at the height of working from home. It is more than 100 miles from Newark.
Social media posts by Naylor also show that she has been planning renovations to the property for some time, saving images for how to decorate the children’s rooms as well as other parts of her home.
The Emhoffs’ 2010 divorce settlement filed in a Los Angeles court says the couple shared costs of a nanny, private tutor and private school fees.
When the couple split in May 2009, their daughter Ella was finishing third grade.
Sources told DailyMail.com that Naylor was Ella’s nanny at the time, and was working, first as a teaching assistant and then a teacher, at the Willows.
After attending the Willows, Ella graduated from LA K-12 private school Wildwood in 2018.
Emhoff met Harris – then California’s Attorney General – when he was set up on a blind date by one of her friends in 2013. They married the following year.
Claims of Emhoff’s alleged affair were first aired on July 31 by right wing activist and journalist Laura Loomer in a post on social media site X, although she did not name Naylor.
