White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt being 32 years younger than her real estate developer husband, Nicholas Riccio, is a well-known fact, but a recent social media post claimed that the latter is even older than her mom.
This detail triggered a wave of sarcastic remarks aimed at Leavitt, with one netizen writing, “I’m sure she married him for love,” and another adding, “She legitimately married a grandpa.”
Notably, Leavitt herself described her relationship with Riccio as “atypical” in a 2025 interview.
