White House Press SecretaryĀ Karoline Leavitt, 27, is making headlines again ā but this time, itās not for a fiery press briefing. Instead, sheās turning heads with a stream of adorableĀ Easter photosĀ featuring her 9-month-old sonĀ Niko. However, one question continues to dominate whispers across political and social media circles:Ā Where is her husband?
Leavitt, who made history as the youngest-ever press secretary, is married toĀ 59-year-old real estate tycoon Nicholas Riccio, a multi-millionaire known for his luxury properties and low public profile. But while Leavittās Easter photos radiate warmth, many noted his absence from most of the images she posted ā prompting speculation about the coupleās status.
On her Instagram, Leavitt shared images of baby Niko in a checkered blue top, laughing in a field of flowers, and smiling beside an Easter bunny. One touching story showed her cradling him outside church with the caption: āFirst, we prayedā¦ā followed by āThen, we playedā as the baby wrestled playfully with a costumed bunny.
In the few images where Riccio appears, heās only seen from behind, notably in one frame holding Niko at theĀ Smithsonian National Zoo. The caption reads: āDada always has our backs.ā Yet the image sparked more curiosity than comfort ā with some followers noting it felt almost symbolic.

āWhy only the back of her husband?ā one commenter asked. āEverything about her life is polished, but this feels⦠intentional.ā
Leavitt has previously drawn public attention not just for her role in the Biden administration but also for her unconventional romance. She met Riccio in her early 20s during a political fundraiser in New Hampshire. Their whirlwind engagement and the 30-year age gap raised eyebrows from the beginning ā something Leavitt has never publicly addressed in depth.
Sources close to the couple insist the marriage is āstrong and private,ā but recent rumblings suggest otherwise. A D.C. insider toldĀ The U.S. Sun, āTheyāve been under a lot of strain with the new baby, the pressures of her job, and Riccioās growing health concerns.ā
Still, Leavittās Easter posts paint a picture of maternal joy. āThis was our first Easter as a family, and it was beautiful,ā she captioned one carousel of photos, drawing thousands of likes.
But even the sweetest pictures canāt always silence speculation ā especially in Washington, where the personal and political often collide.
Is the power couple stronger than ever? Or is this curated Easter moment hiding deeper cracks in the foundation?
Only time ā and maybe another Instagram post ā will tell.
