White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went viral after a photo showed her typing with one hand while feeding her 9-month-old son, Niko, with the other. The picture, captured by senior Trump aide Margo Martin, was captioned: “Super Mom!” and received widespread praise online. One user called her a “boss mom,” while another wrote, “She’s amazing.”
Leavitt, 27, began her career as a White House intern under Trump and rose to national prominence as a leading voice in his administration. She welcomed her son in July 2024 and has been open about the challenges of balancing motherhood with a demanding political role.

“I try to make it home for bedtime as much as I can,” she told the Christian Broadcasting Network. “Every working mom understands the guilt.”
Leavitt shares her son with husband Nicholas Riccio, 59, a real estate developer. Despite their 32-year age gap, she describes him as her “rock and biggest supporter.” The couple married in January 2025, just before Trump’s second inauguration.
