Karoline Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, met in 2022 before getting married three years later.
The White House press secretary, 27, and Riccio, 59, welcomed their son, Nicholas Robert Riccio, nicknamed “Niko,” in July 2024. Six months later, the two wed days before President Donald Trump's second inauguration in January 2025.
As the youngest person in history to hold her role, Leavitt is aware of the attention to her age — and her 32-year age gap with her husband.
“I mean it's a very atypical love story, but he's incredible,” she shared during a February 2025 appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show.

Once he is 90 and she is 58, that will not even need to apply.
I’ll find homes for any and all!
That is because she is 27 and he is in his early 60’s!!!!
She had her baby six months before marrying the father. Sorry; she’s weird.
Mother of Mary, is this the beginning of Niko?
She broke up a family leaving children without the proper care from their father I can’t post here exactly what I think of her
I must admit that there are days when I worry about their future due to my age, but the way I see it, God didn't gift me with children to populate Earth, but to populate Heaven.
Plus, you never know, both my grandfather's lived into their 90's, and my dad, who is 84, is very young and spry for his age.
:-)
Did your dad marry a much younger wife, too?
An uncle of mine was married 9 times, widowed once, divorced 7 times and left wife number 9 a widow. He only had 6 kids, however. He and his 1st wife divorced after 8 years and 3 kids, the 2nd wife-who was the same age he was-was killed in a traffic accident-they didn’t have kids. the 3d wife was not a lot younger-they had 2 kids and ended up divorced several years after.
My uncle was a PE-he moved from Texas to Las Vegas for a very good job opportunity-he promptly met and married wife 4, who was younger, a casino worker and a gold digger. They had 1 kid-they got a divorce when he would not buy her everything she wanted. Lather, rinse repeat for wives 5, 6, 7, and 8 except they didn’t have any kids-those marriages lasted less than 2 years. After he moved back to Texas, he met and married wife 9, who was 25 years younger, already had kids from her 1st marriage and wasn’t looking for a free ride. They were married for more than 30 years-till my uncle died at age 91 in 2009...
Asking for a friend ;)
My worst age gap was 13 years. She was 18.
I’ll never do that BS again.
It’s not fair to the younger. She was embarking on a life of mistakes that I made - and I became better for them. If I was there in the picture, she wouldn’t make those mistakes. Her life would be to my credit. That’s not fair
Truth be told, his kids were in college by then. I’m sure they came to accept her, but she wasn’t a mom to them in any fashion. Still, it was shocking, and I learned some things about her that I had never realized before. Not things I wanted to learn.
“She’s very mature for her age.”
For some time now my life’s observations are such that I believe a woman does not fully mentally and physically mature until she’s at least 25.
Many will argue based on how hot some young teens are or how smart they are in school.
I’m talking about the emotional maturity and the firming of physical features as the defining points. Not how sexy or book smart they are. Karoline is an example of a very mature woman, and incredible smart.
Amen.
My great-grandfather did the same. First wife was about the same age, 7 kids, she died in childbirth (baby died too). The next wife was much younger - died shortly after giving birth to their first child from a ‘fever’ ... baby died a few months later. Wife #3 was only a couple of years older than the oldest kids from his first wife - they had 6 kids. He died in a car accident & she died of old age.

And the prophet of ISlime Mad Mo was 54 when he married little Aisha who was only 6 at the time.
No Pizza references...
Love so strong and humble they cannot join their last names.
It was a big controversy because he became her manager when she was only 12. They said their relationship didn't turn romantic until she was 20, but... still, it was controversial.
