Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, admitted Saturday to having an extramarital affair during his first marriage after a bombshell report by the Daily Mail charged he got his children's nanny pregnant.

"During my first marriage, Kerstin and I went through some tough times on account of my actions," Emhoff said in a statement to Harris-friendly CNN regarding his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff. "I took responsibility, and in the years since, we worked through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side." 

Emhoff did not return Fox News Digital’s requests for comment. 

13 DAYS: KAMALA HARRIS HAS NOT HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS PRESUMPTIVE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

Emhoff and his first wife were married from 1992 until 2009, and they share two now-adult children: Cole, 29, and Ella, 25, who they co-parented with stepmom Harris. 

The affair ended the marriage, according to the Daily Mail, which reported the nanny was also a teacher at Emhoff's children's school. The report said the woman, who Fox News Digital is not naming, did not keep the baby, though it is unclear what happened to the baby, or if Emhoff has ever been involved in the child’s life.

Emhoff, now 59, was an entertainment lawyer and his wife was a movie producer when their marriage ended in 2009. Sources told the Daily Mail the pregnant nanny had to leave her job as a teacher at The Willows, an elite private elementary school in Culver City, California, where she had also taught the Emhoff children.

Harris met Emhoff in 2013, when she was serving as California attorney general, and they married in 2014. 

Harris knew about the affair before they married and the Biden 2020 campaign knew about it when they were vetting her for his vice presidential pick, CNN reported. 

Kerstin Emhoff said in a statement to CNN: "Doug and I decided to end our marriage for a variety of reasons, many years ago. 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."

Emhoff is often seen with Harris on the campaign trail as she is now the presumptive Democratic nominee. 

The Kansas man who stole a Jackie Robinson statue from a park has been sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

A judge sentenced Ricky Alderete Friday. Most of that jail time is related to another burglary that happened days after the statue theft.

Alderete was involved in a burglary on Feb. 1 he says was fueled by a fentanyl addiction, and 13½ years of the sentence is related to that burglary.

"I let fentanyl take over me and made a lot of poor decisions. I am not going to deny that. I never meant to hurt anybody," he said in court Friday. "I am embarrassed, I’m ashamed. Whatever you do today, I accept. I am ready for that. I believe I am where I am supposed to be right now because, at the rate I am going, I might have been dead."

In May, Alderete pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary, aggravated criminal damage to property, interference with law enforcement, criminal damage to property, theft, making a false writing and identity theft in the statue heist.

The statue was snatched from McAdams Park in January and was later "dismantled and burned," according to authorities.

The Wichita Fire Department was called to a trash can fire at Garvey Park around 8:30 a.m. Jan. 30, where firefighters discovered remnants of the stolen statue.

The statue was cut from its base, leaving only bronze replicas of the legendary baseball player's cleats behind. Robinson broke the Major League Baseball's color barrier when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. The franchise moved in 1957 to California, where it continues as the Los Angeles Dodgers.

After the original statue was stolen, donations to replace it rolled in, including $100,000 from Major League Baseball. The new statue will be unveiled Monday, with Joe Torre and CC Sabathia expected to be in attendance.

The bronze cleats that were left behind when the original statue was stolen are now on display at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri.

In the majors, Robinson hit .313, won an MVP in 1949 and was named an All-Star six times. He also was a Negro League All-Star, giving him seven all-star nods in professional baseball.

Robinson died in 1972 at the age of 53, and it is widely thought that the stress he endured throughout his playing days contributed to an early death.
