Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Responds to Questions Regarding Age Difference in Marriage

Leavitt said the rumor was false and said she left the White House to spend more time with her two young children.

  • On Wednesday, October 14, former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended her marriage to Nicholas Riccio, who is 32 years her senior, advising followers to "forget the haters and follow your heart" during an Instagram Stories Q&A.
  • Leavitt and Riccio, 61, married in January 2025 after meeting in 2022; she called it "the best decision I ever made" and praised him as the "best husband and dad in the world."
  • The couple has two young children: son Nico, 2, and daughter Viviana, 5 months. Leavitt previously noted that balancing motherhood with White House Press Secretary demands proved challenging.
  • Having stepped down from the White House in August to focus on her family, Leavitt later revealed plans to join MAGA-friendly Fox News as an on-air contributor starting November 1 and work for PAC MAGA Inc.
  • To protect her children from "threats and negativity" encountered during her tenure, Leavitt hides their faces on social media and plans to wait until they are older to decide whether to document their lives online.
