White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has spoken candidly about her marriage to Nicolas Riccio, a real estate developer who is 32 years her senior.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple tied the knot in January 2025, just before President Donald Trump\u2019s second inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leavitt, 27, shared wedding photos on Instagram on March 12, describing their wedding day as one of the happiest moments of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Love Story That Began in Politics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leavitt recently appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show, where she reflected on her relationship, describing it as \u201catypical but incredibly supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She recalled first meeting Riccio in 2022 at a New Hampshire restaurant event while running for Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although she secured the Republican nomination, she ultimately lost the race to Democrat Chris Pappas. However, that political campaign led to personal gains, as it introduced her to Riccio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cA mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband. I was speaking,\u201d Leavitt explained. \u201cWe met and we were acquainted as friends. And then we fell in love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Despite initial concerns about their age difference, Leavitt said it quickly became a non-issue. She emphasized how much she values Riccio\u2019s support, describing him as her \u201cgreatest supporter, best friend, and rock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s built a very successful business himself, so now he\u2019s fully supportive of me building my success in my career,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Marriage, Motherhood, and Career<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple got engaged on Christmas 2023, and just a few months later, they welcomed their son, Nicholas Robert Riccio, on July 10, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After giving birth, Leavitt took to Instagram to share her excitement about motherhood, writing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true when they say there\u2019s nothing comparable to the love you feel for your child. My heart has grown bigger than I ever imagined possible. Babies are the ultimate blessing, and I\u2019m bursting with gratitude for our beautiful, happy, healthy boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

During her interview, she also reflected on how her husband has embraced the chaos of her fast-paced career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the father of my child, and he\u2019s the best dad I could ever ask for. And he is so supportive, especially during a very chaotic period of life\u2026 I say, \u2018I walked into your life and it\u2019s been a circus ever since,\u2019 but God bless him because he\u2019s fully on board.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A Private Partner in a Public Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although Leavitt is a prominent public figure, Riccio prefers to stay out of the spotlight. She acknowledged this dynamic in a social media post, calling him an introvert and the complete opposite of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI respect his privacy on here, but he\u2019s my number one fan, the best dad, and just the best man I\u2019ve ever met.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Despite his private nature, she emphasized that he remains her biggest supporter<\/strong>, encouraging her political ambitions<\/strong> while staying behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she continues balancing\u00a0her role as a mother, wife, and political figure, Leavitt remains grateful for the\u00a0unwavering support of her husband and their growing family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
