Megyn Kelly’s brutal ‘sleeping with nanny’ dig at Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife in explosive spat over J-Lo and keeping their husbands satisfied
Megyn Kelly went scorched earth on Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife by claiming the mother of his two kids wasn’t sexy enough to keep her husband ‘from sleeping with the nanny’ in an online spat that quickly spiraled out of control.
The shocking personal insults between the two blondes came after Kerstin Emhoff, 58, a Hollywood producer, blasted Kelly, 54, for criticizing Jennifer Lopez’s recent string of sexually charged performances.
On her podcast, Kelly had torn into the pop icon saying Lopez, 55, had crossed the line into ‘soft porn’ and could no longer pass as a sex symbol.
‘We’re not sex symbols,’ Kelly said. ‘That ship has sailed – it sailed with menopause.’
It saw Kerstin Emhoff snap back online, although without tagging Kelly directly.
‘I bet tons of people look at J.Lo and want to have sex with her,’ she wrote. ‘Megan [sic] – if you actually think that post-menopausal women can’t be sexual, you are missing out. You can close up your 55-year-old shop while the rest of us are open for business.’
That’s when Kelly exploded invoking the long-rumored affair between Doug Emhoff and his children’s nanny, Najen Naylor, a blonde teaching assistant at their kids’ elite Los Angeles private school.
The affair allegedly resulted in a pregnancy and ultimately ended Doug’s 16-year marriage to Kerstin in 2009, according to sources.
Megyn Kelly unleashed a scorching attack on Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife
Kelly accused Kerstin Emhoff of failing to keep her husband from sleeping with their nanny in an online spat that quickly spiraled out of control on Wednesday evening
It all started after Kelly tore into J.Lo, 55, saying she had crossed the line into ‘soft porn’ and could no longer pass as a sex symbol
Kelly quickly escalated things further as she responded to Kerstin Emhoff’s reply.
‘You were too chicken s*** to actually cc me on your post,’ she wrote. ‘But let’s just say I’m sexy enough to keep my husband from sleeping with the nanny.’
‘Unlike J-Lo, however, I don’t feel the need to fake hump a bunch of strangers to prove I’ve still got it.’
Back on X, Kerstin Emhoff snapped back again, insisting she wasn’t hiding.
‘I’m definitely not a chicken s*** @megynkelly. I assumed you would see it,’ she wrote, explaining why she hadn’t tagged the former Fox News anchor.
‘You called out J.Lo for her age, not the moves. You have no idea what happened in my marriage – just like I have no idea what your Doug really thinks about you. But I choose to support women. Try it,’ Emhoff added, taking Kelly to task.
But Kelly was already in attack mode and fired back another salvo with her take on the Emhoff’s breakup.
‘Actually, I have an excellent idea that you married a guy who was a total s***,’ she wrote. ‘And now you’re telling the internet you’re ‘open for business’ – so good luck with that,’ she added, mockingly.
In a post to X Kelly shared a video of the songstress running through multiple mock sex positions with her male backup dancers as the political commentator expressed her disgust
Things escalated quickly in a fiery online spat between Megyn Kelly and Kerstin Emhoff
Kelly appeared disgusted with J.Lo’s dance moves that appeared sexually suggestive
Earlier, Kelly had trashed Lopez’s suggestive dance moves earlier on her podcast, accusing the 55-year-old icon of descending into soft-core territory.
‘She simulates actual sex acts,’ Kelly said, describing Lopez’s stage routine in vivid detail. ‘Missionary, doggy style… she’s 55 years old and hasn’t come to grips with the fact that she’s not a sex symbol anymore.’
The sparring match between the two women appeared to be part culture war and part personal vendetta.
The Emhoff’s affair was a deeply embarrassing chapter for the former Second Gentleman and one that during last year’s election campaign fought desperately to keep under wraps.

Emhoff, 60, and movie producer ex-wife Kerstin, 58, ended their 16-year marriage in 2009 when she discovered the affair, the sources said. Their daughter Ella was 10 and son Cole was 15 at the time
When Kerstin split from Emhoff their daughter Ella was finishing third grade. Sources told DailyMail.com that Naylor was Ella’s nanny at the time and had begun working as a teaching assistant at the Willows and eventually became a teacher there
According to previous reporting by DailyMail.com, Doug Emhoff had a secret affair with Naylor, the nanny to his children Ella and Cole, during his marriage to Kerstin.
At the time, Naylor was working at The Willows, a pricey private school in Culver City, where she moonlighted as a nanny for the Emhoffs and taught classes.
Doug Emhoff and Kerstin divorced in 2009. Records show Naylor was pregnant that year, though friends say the child was never kept.
Facebook videos from the time show her holding a baby named ‘Brook’ alongside two other infants – but the child’s identity remains unclear.
After the scandal, Naylor reportedly left her job at the school and later became a director at Audible, purchased a home in the Hamptons, and now lives quietly with young children in tow.
Kerstin Emhoff, for her part, has kept mostly quiet about the cheating rumors. When DailyMail.com contacted her for comment earlier last year, she hung up the phone.
Yet her sudden foray into defending J.Lo and attacking Megyn Kelly in the process has dragged those skeletons right back into the spotlight.
