A surprise visit: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shares new photos with husband and baby boy at work
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently offered her followers a rare insight into her personal life. As the youngest press secretary in history, Leavitt shared touching images of her family visiting her at work, but a subtle detail in the background captured the most attention.
On Tuesday, she took to Instagram to share delightful moments from a visit by her husband, Nicholas Riccio, and their eight-month-old son, Niko, to the White House. Wearing the same baby blue suit from that day’s press briefing, Leavitt radiated joy as she held her son and posed with Riccio, who donned a classic navy striped suit. The Instagram post was simply captioned: “Visiting mama at work.” Another image on her Instagram Story featured Leavitt cradling Niko in front of a desk and mirror, with his reflection adding an extra layer of charm.
While fans filled the comments with admiration for the young family, many quickly noticed two intriguing items on the corkboard in the background of one of the images.
In the Instagram Story, behind Leavitt and her baby, fans observed two framed covers of the New York Post pinned to a bulletin board, accompanied by two handwritten motivational notes that appeared to be on official White House stationery. One note stated: “You are strong and brave!” while the other playfully encouraged: “Slay the briefing day away!” The source of these notes remains unclear, but the supportive messages delighted followers, many of whom appreciated the glimpse into the press secretary’s workspace.
