Karoline Leavitt, the 28-year-old White House Press Secretary, has just shared the heartwarming news that she and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, have welcomed their second child, a beautiful baby girl named Viviana, or “Vivi” for short! Born on May 1, Vivi’s arrival has already captured hearts, as Karoline described their joy saying, “Our hearts instantly exploded with love.” ❤️

But that’s not all. The Leavitt family is already in full newborn bliss with their first child, Nicholas “Niko” Robert Riccio, reveling in the excitement of becoming a big brother at just under 2 years old. 🍼

Karoline’s announcement comes after a brief return to the White House podium during the dramatic aftermath of the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 24, 2026. While on maternity leave, she stepped back into the limelight to speak out against the media’s harmful rhetoric surrounding President Trump and his family. 💥

In her touching social media post, Karoline also expressed heartfelt thanks for the support she received during her pregnancy, calling on God for blessings and revealing just how deeply grateful she feels to be a mother. “God is Good,” she shared, filled with emotion.

Leavitt’s journey to motherhood, which began with the birth of Niko in July 2024, has been a whirlwind of challenges and triumphs. As the first Press Secretary to give birth while in office, Karoline has had to navigate the pressures of working at the White House while raising a young family. But with support from her husband and a pro-family White House environment, Karoline is making it work, balancing motherhood with her crucial role.

While it’s unclear exactly how long Karoline will be on maternity leave, she is certainly enjoying this blissful time with her growing family.
