Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy – I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good.🙏
This is Leavitt’s second child.
Karoline and her husband also have a toddler son.
From CBS News:
Leavitt’s daughter was born May 1, she announced on Instagram. Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, also have a toddler-aged son named Niko. Leavitt began maternity leave shortly before her delivery.
Congratulations, Karoline and Nicholas!
God Bless their beautiful family.
This woman incredibly worked all throughout her pregnancy, right up until the last few days.
She deserves to take a nice, long break away from the White House to spend with her newborn daughter and young son.
In the meantime, we have Marco Rubio filling in for press secretary!
