White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that she is expecting her second child in the spring of 2026.
In a post via Instagram, Leavitt said that she and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, will welcome a baby girl to the family in May.
“The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for – a baby girl coming in May 2026,” Leavitt said.
“My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother. My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for the blessing of motherhood, which I truly believe is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth.”
In her heartwarming announcement, Leavitt thanked the entire White House, including President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, for instilling a “pro-family environment.”
“I am also extremely grateful to President Trump and our Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support, and for fostering a pro-family environment in the White House. 2026 is going to be a great year and I am so excited to be a girl mom!” Leavitt added.
Leavitt and Riccio will have their hands full as they already have one-year-old son, Nicholas Robert “Niko” Riccio, who was born in July 2024.
