Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, otherwise known as The First Daughter of Bushwick, is a severely underappreciated 2024 It Girl. The Parsons School of Design alum is out here running a knitting club, crushing it as an artsy influencer, posing for magazines, walking in runway shows, and designing her own knitwear — all while enthusiastically supporting her stepmother’s presidential campaign. Talk about a Renaissance woman.
Ella’s parents, Doug Emhoff and Kerstin Emhoff, got divorced back in 2008, and Doug married Vice President Harris in 2014. Ella has a very close relationship with her stepmother, who she (and apparently Drew Barrymore) lovingly calls “Momala.” When Charli XCX recently declared on Twitter that “kamala IS brat,” Ella shared a screenshot of the singer’s tweet in an Instagram Story and wrote, “@charli_xcx gets it.” Obviously, she included a snippet of “Apple” in the Story.
Here’s everything you need to know about Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff.
All About Kamala Harris’ Stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff
How Old Is Ella Emhoff?
Ella was born on May 29, 1999, so she’s 25 now. (Sooo, yes, only another decade before she can run for president. I’m counting down.)
What Is Ella Emhoff’s Instagram?

You can find her on Instagram at @ellaemhoff, and the grid is definitely giving cool girl, artsy, Bushwick energy. Ella has more than 300 thousand followers on the app, and she mainly posts videos of herself knitting. According to her bio, she runs the Soft Hands Knit Club, and they have meetings at the Bushwick wine bar, Cherry on Top.
Ella Emhoff Is A Model And Fashion Designer
At the January 2021 presidential inauguration, Ella stunned in a bejeweled, plaid Miu Miu coat. Shortly after that slay, she landed a contract with IMG Models Worldwide — ya know, the home of teeny tiny names like Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and Gigi Hadid. Ella has since graced magazine covers and walked in runway shows for iconic brands like Miu Miu and Proenza. She also casually became the face of Adidas by Stella McCartney in September 2021.
Not to mention, Ella launched her own limited collection of knitwear in the spring of 2021, and her work has been featured on the cover of MINI V and at a New York Fashion Week pop-up presentation. Her resume is making me feel extremely lazy.
Who Is Ella Emhoff Dating?
During a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Ella revealed that she was dating GQ editor Sam Hine. She shared that her ideal date is “a stop at the market, buying the wackiest produce, and figuring out what to cook with it.” Yup, definitely a Bushwick girl. In a February 2023 article, The Cut reported that Ella and Sam were still dating. Of course, that was over a year ago now, so we don’t know for sure what Ella’s current relationship status is.
Whether she’s single, still with Sam, or in a new relationship, this girl is definitely thriving.
