Karoline Leavitt, the 28-year-old White House Press Secretary, recently gave her social media followers a glimpse into her Christmas celebrations, sharing moments with her seldom-seen husband, 60-year-old Nicholas Riccio.

Leavitt, who has recently announced her second pregnancy, posted a collection of holiday-themed photos on her Instagram on Tuesday. The images captured her festivities both at the White House and her residence.

In the first image, Leavitt and her husband Riccio are seen posing joyfully in front of the festive decor at the White House.

With beaming smiles, Riccio wore a navy blue suit paired with a tie, while Leavitt was dressed in a stylish black dress complemented by a white blazer-style cropped sweater.

Additional photos highlighted Leavitt alongside President Donald Trump, engaged in a discussion while examining a document together.

Another saw Leavitt and Trump watching Fox News after his recent address to the nation, as the TV headline read, ‘Live reaction to President Trump’s address.’

The soon-to-be mom-of-two also shared snaps from her Christmas at home, including an adorable photo of her one-year-old son, Niko, as he sat happily on a chair in a red sweater.

Leavitt even gave followers a peek into Niko’s first time meeting Santa Claus.

‘A December full of White House Christmas magic, precious time with family and pure love,’ Leavitt wrote in the caption of her social media post.

This season seems to be shaping up as a special one for the Press Secretary, as she revealed last week that she and her husband were expecting their second child together – a baby girl.

She made the announcement on Instagram, sharing a photo of her cradling her bump in a white dress, posing by a Christmas tree.

‘The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for – a baby girl coming in May 2026,’ Leavitt wrote.

‘My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother. 

‘My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for the blessing of motherhood, which I truly believe is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth.’

Leavitt also thanked President Trump, saying he and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles have fostered ‘a pro-family environment in the White House.’

In March, Leavitt (seen in February) admitted that she and her husband have a ‘very atypical love story,’ and said they first met when she unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2022

‘I am also extremely grateful to President Trump and our Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support, and for fostering a pro-family environment in the White House. 2026 is going to be a great year and I am so excited to be a girl mom!’ she concluded. 

Since becoming the face of the White House this year, Leavitt’s marriage to Riccio, a real estate developer, has raised eyebrows due to their 31-year age gap.

In March, Leavitt admitted they have a ‘very atypical love story,’ and said they first met when she unsuccessfully ran for Congress in New Hampshire in 2022.

‘A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband,’ Leavitt told Megyn Kelly at the time.

‘I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends. And then we fell in love.’
