At just 27, White House Press Secretary Karoline Claire Leavitt’s political career has been rapid. She has taken on significant roles in Republican politics and eventually became the youngest White House Press Secretary when Donald Trump assumed office a second time.
While her professional life keeps her in the spotlight, her personal life stirs dinner conversation. In January 2025, Leavitt married real estate developer Nicholas Riccio, 32 years her senior.
The couple’s 32-year age gap has been subject to widespread scrutiny and media attention. They met while she ran for a congressional seat in New Hampshire in 2022.
