White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is giving fans a peek into her cozy family life! The youngest-ever person to hold the high-profile role recently celebrated a very special milestone: her daughter Viviana, affectionately called “Vivi,” turned one month old.
Leavitt posted adorable mirror selfies from her soft pink nursery, cradling Viviana with a glowing smile. “One month of Vivi ,” she captioned the sweet snapshot, sharing a glimpse of life in the new “newborn bubble.”
The proud mom-of-two also opened up about her home cooking, giving followers a peek at the dishes keeping her busy during maternity leave. Highlights included a vibrant salad of romaine, spinach, watermelon, cucumber, almonds, dried cranberries, and feta, drizzled with olive oil and fresh lemon juice — a recipe fans had requested after seeing her earlier posts.
And for something a little sweeter, Leavitt shared her sweet potato casserole topped with toasted marshmallows, a dish beloved by her son Niko — and by her, too!
Leavitt, who welcomed Viviana with husband Nicholas Riccio, 60, on May 1, stepped away from her White House duties on April 27 for maternity leave. She expressed gratitude to President Donald Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for fostering a “pro-family environment” in the White House
This isn’t Leavitt’s first time balancing high-pressure duties with motherhood. She famously returned to Trump’s campaign just three days after giving birth to Niko, including during times of national crisis, demonstrating her commitment to both family and work.
While Leavitt enjoys precious time with Vivi, Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly and assistants Taylor Rogers and Liz Huston are expected to cover press duties in her absence.
From nursery selfies to family-favorite recipes, Karoline Leavitt’s latest posts are a heartwarming reminder that even the White House press secretary finds joy in the little moments of motherhood.
