Speculation has emerged about a possible romantic relationship between Vice President Kamala Harris and Phil Bronstein, a former executive editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and ex-husband of Sharon Stone.

The political world is abuzz with rumors of a potential past romantic involvement between Vice President Kamala Harris and Phil Bronstein, Daily Mail reported.

Kamala Harris and Phil Bronstein in San Francisco

Phil Bronstein, aged 79, has refused to comment on the speculation. When approached by a DailyMail.com reporter, he said, "I understand you're only doing your job, but I'm not going to comment at all." He further added, "That's not to be misconstrued as anything other than I'm just not going to comment. I will not comment."

A former San Francisco official claimed Harris and Bronstein were seen together multiple times and were dating. Bronstein had known Harris since 2003 and encountered her at Tosca Café in San Francisco in 2004. The former official stated, "They were seen out together on numerous occasions. I know for a fact they were dating."

Bronstein described Harris in a 2018 article where she was portrayed as a focused observer of a pool game involving celebrities. He wrote, "Practically hidden in the choking pall of tobacco and celebrity, a young woman was perched on a bar stool watching the game, waiting, calculating... She was almost sedated, nursing a glass of wine and smoking cigarettes. The quiet observer was Kamala Harris, the woman whom many now think is an odds-on favorite to be President of the United States."

Rumors and Speculation Amongst Political Circles

Despite the speculation, only some people are convinced about the relationship. A staffer from Harris's DA office heard rumors but doubted their seriousness. The staffer noted, "We talked about her dating and stuff, and we've had conversations about who she's dating, and she never mentioned him. I've heard it, but I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised. She could have had one or two dates with him. But I am positive it wasn't a serious relationship and that they weren't dating for any period of time."

Amelia Ashley-Ward, a friend of Harris, expressed doubt about the relationship, stating it was never discussed in their conversations. "I don't know anything about any relationship she had with Phil Bronstein, and I talk to her frequently. We've been in the 'Ooh girl, let me tell you' mode for years. That never entered the realm, and I think she would have told me," she said.

Phil Bronstein's personal life has also been in the public eye. His marriage to Sharon Stone ended in 2003 after a high-profile incident with a Komodo dragon. Harris had a notable relationship with Willie Brown in the mid-1990s and briefly dated Montel Williams in 2001.

Bronstein's Reputation and Encounters with Harris

Bronstein had a reputation as a ladies' man and was linked to various women. Harris and Bronstein were seen at various events, including a 2008 interview at a non-profit event. Bronstein later married Christine Borders and moved to Hawaii, while Harris married Doug Emhoff in 2014.

Harris and Bronstein maintained contact, which benefited both during Harris's presidential campaign. Bronstein conducted two interviews with Harris for a magazine article in which he spoke highly of her.

Bronstein was supportive of Harris's candidacy for Vice President in 2020. He advocated for her by saying, "I would pick her if I were Joe Biden because she's got the power and the strength and the conviction that I think a lot of people feel he doesn't have. She's built up this persona of someone who has integrity and believes in social justice, and she's a Black, Asian, Indian woman, which I think, in this day and age, is a great thing to have on the ticket."
