“Weekends in Palm Beach” — Trump’s 27-year-old press secretary posts rare glimpse of her unconventional love story with husband Nicholas Riccio and their baby boy.
Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House Press Secretary, gave her followers a rare peek into her personal life this weekend — and the pictures had Instagram buzzing.
The 27-year-old conservative rising star shared a sunny photo carousel from Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, featuring husband Nicholas Riccio, 59, and their baby son Niko.
While Karoline is known for her steely professionalism and no-nonsense press room presence, these new photos showed a softer, family-first side — and fans couldn’t get enough.
Palm Beach, Baby Cuddles, and Sunset Snaps
In the first photo, Leavitt beamed while seated on a plush green couch, holding her son on her lap. Dressed in a checkered onesie, baby Niko stole the show — but mom’s radiant smile was a close second.
The next snap featured husband Nicholas — who is 32 years older than Karoline — joining his young family for a sunset photo by the pool, his arm wrapped around his wife, with little Niko cradled between them.

Another heart-melting shot showed Nicholas in more relaxed attire, kissing his son’s cheek as he held him close.
And the final picture? A cozy, candid glimpse of the trio reclining on sun loungers, towels draped over them as they basked in some well-earned family time.
The caption? Simple and sweet: “Weekends in Palm Beach.”
Fans notice a cute detail
Fans couldn’t help but notice a sweet little detail in Karoline Leavitt’s recent Instagram post — baby Nicco is the spitting image of his dad. 🥹 From his eyes to his smile, the resemblance is undeniable.
Commenters flooded the post with heart emojis and messages like “he looks just like his daddy!” It’s clear little Nicco not only inherited his father’s looks, but also his warmth — as Karoline’s husband is often seen lovingly cradling and caring for their son. 💙

“A Very Atypical Love Story”
Leavitt’s relationship has turned heads before — mostly due to the couple’s 32-year age gap. But the GOP power player has never shied away from addressing it.
In a recent sit-down with Megyn Kelly, Karoline opened up about their whirlwind romance, saying they met during her congressional campaign when a mutual friend invited Riccio — a successful businessman — to a fundraiser.
“We met and we were acquainted as friends… and then we fell in love,” she recalled.
Kelly didn’t hold back, asking if Karoline hesitated when she realized he was 59 and she was just 27.

“Yes, of course,” she admitted. “I mean it’s a very atypical love story… but he’s incredible. He’s my greatest supporter, my best friend, and my rock.”
From Campaign Trail to Marital Bliss
The couple got engaged in December 2023, with Karoline sharing the moment online:
“The best Christmas of my life. I get to marry the man of my dreams. I feel SO overwhelmingly BLESSED. Thank you, God.”
They tied the knot just a month later — in January 2025, days before Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

Their son, Niko, was born on July 10, 2024, and has already become something of a White House darling.
White House Debut
Karoline’s young family also made headlines at the White House Easter Egg Roll in April, where they were spotted on the South Lawn. Nicholas looked sharp in a tan suit and purple tie, pushing baby Niko — dressed in a baby blue outfit — around in a stroller.
Observers online were quick to comment on how “age-defying” her husband appeared, and many praised the couple’s low-key elegance.
While critics have questioned their age gap, Karoline’s loyal fanbase sees a love story that breaks convention — and proudly so.
“He’s the best dad I could ever ask for,” she told Kelly. “And he’s so supportive, especially during a very chaotic period of life.”
