At just 27, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently addressed public curiosity about her 32-year age gap with her husband, 59-year-old businessman Nicholas Riccio. She first met him during her Congressional campaign at a New Hampshire restaurant he owned. “We fell in love,” she said on The Megyn Kelly Show. Though initially unsure about the age difference, she now calls him “my greatest supporter, my best friend, my rock.”
The couple married at Wentworth By The Sea Country Club in Rye, NH. Leavitt shared photos on Instagram, writing, “Finally found some time to post a few of my favorite pictures from one of my favorite days!”

On July 10, 2024, the couple welcomed their son, Nicholas Robert (Niko). “The best moment of my life,” Leavitt wrote. “Babies are the ultimate blessing… I love you.”
Karoline Leavitt’s story reflects a life full of love, ambition, and joy — proving that age is no barrier when it comes to true partnership and family.
