When the pair sat down for an interview with Jane Pauley of CBS News' Sunday Morning in January 2020, Harris revealed that the date wasn't exactly blind: She Googled her future husband before she met him.
"I did!" Harris said with a laugh, while Emhoff smiled and said, "Oh. This is a reveal!"
"So, yes, my best friend set us up on a blind date," Harris explained. "And she said, 'Just trust me. Just trust me.' You know, she wanted me to just kind of go into it, and she said, 'Don't Google him.' I did!"
Emhoff said in the interview that he was at a Lakers game with a friend when he decided to send a text to Harris. He called her the next morning.
"I left this ridiculous voicemail, which she has saved and plays back to me on our anniversary every year," Emhoff said. "I thought I'd never hear from her again, but ..."
"But it was just, it was adorable," said Harris. "And it was just, I mean, the thing about Doug is that he is exactly who he is. He's just fully authentic and clear about the things he cares about. And it's family, it's his work …"
"You," Emhoff said to his wife with a smile.
