Donal Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt has shared a rare behind the scenes video of her baby son at the White House.

The 27-year-old attended the White House Easter Egg roll on Monday (21 April), along with her husband Nicholas Riccio and their nine-month-old son Nico.

The event attended by the US president and his wife Melania, included a host of family fun including egg hunting and cookie decorating.

As well as addressing the media outside the White House, Leavitt also read a story to the children attending.

In a rare and touching glimpse into her personal life, Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for Donald Trump, shared an intimate behind-the-scenes video featuring her nine-month-old son, Nico, during the White House Easter Egg Roll held on Monday, April 21.

At just 27 years old, Leavitt has already made headlines as one of the youngest and most high-profile figures in conservative politics. But this week, it wasn’t her political messaging that caught public attention—it was a softer, more personal side of the press secretary that left many viewers smiling.

Leavitt attended the festive event alongside her husband, Nicholas Riccio, and baby Nico, in what turned out to be a beautiful blend of family time and public duty. The Easter Egg Roll, a cherished annual tradition hosted by the First Family, featured a day of wholesome activities, from egg hunts and cookie decorating to book readings and games on the South Lawn.

While President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump greeted families and participated in the fun, Leavitt took center stage for a few minutes of her own. In a charming moment captured on video and shared to her social media, she read aloud to the children gathered, her son Nico perched on her lap, grabbing at the book with curiosity and wonder.

The scene quickly went viral among supporters, many of whom praised Leavitt for showing that powerful women in politics can also embrace motherhood proudly and publicly. “Watching Karoline balance motherhood and her high-pressure role is truly inspiring,” wrote one commenter on X (formerly Twitter).

The behind-the-scenes clip she shared offered a candid look at the quieter moments of the day—Nico crawling on the grass, giggling with his dad, and even reaching for a brightly colored Easter egg. In one particularly sweet frame, Karoline holds Nico close as they walk through the South Lawn, both smiling under the soft spring sunlight.

For a figure known for her sharp wit and fierce presence in press briefings, this moment of maternal vulnerability showed a different side to Leavitt—and it resonated. The post has already gained thousands of views and shares across platforms.

As the 2024 election campaign heats up, this gentle pause in the political storm reminded many that behind the podiums and policy debates, there are personal stories and young families living the experience in real time.

Leavitt has not confirmed whether baby Nico will make more public appearances, but judging by the warm response, it’s safe to say he’s already won over a fair share of hearts in Washington—and beyond.
