First Gentleman
Male spousal honorific
First Gentleman is the unofficial title for the husband or male partner of a head of state or governor, parallel to First Lady.
The term gained prominence in the United States when Kamala Harris became vice president in 2021, making Doug Emhoff the first Second Gentleman—a stepping stone to the hypothetical First Gentleman.
If she wins, he'll be the first First Gentleman in American history.
