Kamala Harris is facing fresh divorce rumours in California after reports claimed she quietly moved into a Malibu home in early 2026 while Doug Emhoff stayed at the couple's longtime Brentwood address, fuelling speculation that the marriage is under strain as she weighs another White House bid. The story has been built almost entirely on anonymous claims and tabloid reporting, but the optics, as ever, have done plenty of the work.
The chatter gathered pace in May 2026 after reports said Harris had left what the couple once called their 'family home' in Brentwood for an $8.15 million estate in Malibu's Point Dume enclave. Emhoff bought the Brentwood property in 2012 for $2.7 million, and it had been their base for more than a decade, which made the move, at least on paper, feel like a proper break rather than a casual change of scenery.
