Her husband, Nicholas Riccio, has remained an important part of that support system. Leavitt has publicly described him as a steady source of encouragement throughout her career and family life. Although their relationship has occasionally attracted public attention, the couple has continued to focus on raising their children while navigating life in the public eye.
Before becoming White House Press Secretary, Leavitt served as a spokesperson during President Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. During that period, she was expecting her first child and has shared that campaign leadership supported her throughout her pregnancy.
Their first son, Niko, was born in 2024 during a busy period for the campaign. In interviews, Leavitt has discussed the emotional challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with caring for a newborn, while also expressing appreciation for the assistance provided by her husband, parents, and close family members.
Ahead of her second child’s birth, Leavitt shared family photographs celebrating motherhood and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to raise her children. She has consistently described family as one of the most meaningful parts of her life.
