White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, 28, plans to step down in August 2026 to focus on family, Hindustan Times reports. She is married to Nicholas Riccio, 60, a New Hampshire real estate developer. The couple met in 2022 when Leavitt was campaigning for Congress. They became engaged in December 2023, had their first child in July 2024, married in January 2025, and welcomed a second child in May 2026. The 32-year age gap has drawn attention. Leavitt has said she initially had reservations but now calls Riccio her rock. Riccio was homeless at 18 and later built a successful property business.
The 32-year gap will keep drawing stares, but the couple's own words suggest genuine partnership. The test is not the age difference but how they handle her transition from the White House to private life.
