White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 27, discussed her relationship with husband Nicholas Riccio, who is 59. The couple got married in January 2025, shortly before President Donald Trump's second inauguration. They welcomed their son, Niko, in July 2024. In a recent interview, Leavitt talked about their 32-year age gap, describing their love as "atypical." She emphasized how supportive Riccio is of her career, saying he is her best friend and "rock." The two met during her congressional campaign in New Hampshire in 2022, where they were introduced by a mutual friend. Leavitt acknowledged that she initially had concerns about the age difference. However, she feels fortunate, noting that Riccio is an amazing father and partner. She shared that they got engaged during Christmas 2023 and that the love for their son is indescribable. Just days after giving birth, Leavitt returned to work on the Trump campaign. The decision was motivated by an assassination attempt on Trump. She felt a strong need to be involved during that critical time. Leavitt also mentioned that while Riccio is a private person, he is her biggest supporter. She respects his introverted nature and prefers not to showcase him on social media.
