Ella has supported her stepmother throughout her term, even blasting 'childless cat lady' comments directed at Harris by Vice President JD Vance.

Harris is stepmother to Ella and Cole Emhoff, who call her 'Momala'.

In a 2019 essay for Elle magazine, Harris wrote about Ella and Cole deciding to give her the nickname instead of calling her 'stepmum' after she married their father Doug.
