Karoline Leavitt has been in the news plenty since taking over as the White House Press Secretary under President Donald Trump, but one thing she hasn’t often talked about is her marriage.
That changed during a recent interview with Megyn Kelly.
Turns out, there is a large age gap in her marriage. Leavitt is 27 and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, is 59.
“I mean it’s a very atypical love story, but he’s incredible,” Leavitt told Kelly.
“He’s the father of my child and he’s the best dad I could ever ask for,” she added. “And he is so supportive, especially during a very chaotic period of life. I say, ‘I walked into your life and it’s been a circus ever since,’ but God bless him because he’s fully on board.”
Leavitt said she met Riccio while she was running for Congress in New Hampshire in 2022.
“A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband,” she said. ‘I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends, and then we fell in love.”
PEOPLE reported that the couple got engaged during the Christmas holiday in 2023, and their son, Nicholas Robert Riccio, was born on July 10, 2024.
Riccio was reportedly homeless at one point, but developed a real estate empire and currently has an estimated net worth of $6 million.
