Karoline Leavitt is stepping into the spotlight \u2014 and quite literally at that. At just 27, she\u2019s become the youngest White House press secretary in history and eager to prove she belongs in Donald Trump\u2019s media defense squad. But with her new role comes relentless scrutiny, and it\u2019s not just about her qualifications. Her love life \u2014 specifically, the generous age gap with her husband, Nicholas \u201cNick\u201d Riccio \u2014 is now prime gossip material.<\/p>\n

Whether she\u2019s actually equipped for the job remains to be seen, but Trump is fully backing her, giving her a public endorsement as he usually does with his\u00a0handpicked cronies like Alina Habba. \u201cKaroline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator,\u201d he said in a statement obtained by\u00a0The Washington Post.\u00a0\u201cI have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American People as we Make America Great Again.\u201d Leavitt, who\u2019s\u00a0already been branded a Kayleigh McEnany wannabe, seems determined to prove her worth. Case in point: she jumped back into work less than a week after giving birth to her son, Nicholas \u201cNiko\u201d Robert Riccio (yes, she named him after her husband). \u201cI felt compelled to be present in this historic moment,\u201d she told\u00a0The Coveteur. \u201cThe president literally put his life on the line to win this election. The least I could do is get back to work quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the bright side, Riccio \u2014 a self-employed businessman \u2014 can hop on a plane at a moment\u2019s notice to be wherever she is, baby in tow. Admirable? Maybe. But critics can\u2019t help but fixate on that questionable age gap. The math is hard to ignore: When Leavitt was born, Riccio had already been legally ordering drinks for a decade.<\/p>\n

Nicholas Riccio is reportedly over three decades older than Karoline<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no official record of Nicholas Riccio\u2019s age, but a\u00a0Sunday Herald feature\u00a0from 2005 pegged him at 40. Do the math, and that means he was already 32 when Karoline Leavitt was born in 1997. For reference, Donald\u00a0Trump has a huge age gap with Melania;\u00a0he was nearly 24 when she was born \u2014 so even by Trumpworld standards, this gap is notable. What makes things even more interesting? Riccio wasn\u2019t just some distant admirer \u2014 he was reportedly on Leavitt\u2019s finance committee when she ran for Congress in New Hampshire in 2022, according to\u00a0Notus. They married in 2023, and in July 2024, they welcomed baby Niko.<\/p>\n

Leavitt\u2019s critics, however, cannot let the age gap slide. Every time she posts family photos, the comments section lights up. \u201cYou\u2019re [sic] \u2018husband\u2019 could be your grandfather. Yet you judge everyone else, disgusting,\u201d one user\u00a0wrote. \u201cIs that your dad next to you??\u201d\u00a0questioned\u00a0another. Over on X, formerly Twitter, the dragging continued. \u201cI wondered how Karoline Leavitt went from failed congressional candidate in NH to Press Secretary but I learned she married a 60 year old so now it all makes sense,\u201d one critic\u00a0tweeted.<\/p>\n

Leavitt, for her part, couldn\u2019t care less. She insists they\u2019re a perfect match. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have social media and he\u2019s an introvert (complete opposite of me),\u201d she shared on Instagram as to why her husband is only rarely seen with her online. \u201cI respect his privacy on here \u2014 but he\u2019s my number one fan, the best dad, and just the best man I\u2019ve ever met.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karoline Leavitt\u00a0made history when she became America\u2019s youngest press secretary at 27, but the high achiever is also a devoted mother and loving wife.<\/p>\n

Who is Nicholas Riccio? Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt\u2019s husband went from homeless to millionaire<\/h2>\n

Leavitt, who is known for her gun-loving ways and conservative values, had her first\u00a0White House\u00a0briefing on Tuesday, delivering barbed insults to \u2018legacy media\u2019 as well as announcing that social media influencers and content creators will be able to attend her briefings.<\/p>\n

She then we on to declare \u2018sanity has been restored,\u2019 and that \u2018Trump is everywhere again,\u2019 immediately becoming the MAGA darling of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Leavitt is also fast becoming a White House style icon, stunning in the Brady Press Briefing Room on Tuesday in a gorgeous,\u00a0berry-colored two-piece suit\u00a0with a belted back.<\/p>\n

She also made waves after donning a gorgeous gray-blue coat to her swearing in ceremony.<\/p>\n

The wife and mother hails from\u00a0New Hampshire, and ran for the\u00a0U.S. House to represent New Hampshire\u2019s 1st\u00a0Congressional\u00a0District in 2022.<\/p>\n

While the general public is fast becoming familiar with the blonde\u2019s professional life, not as much is known about her private life, including husband\u00a0Nicholas Riccio \u2013 who is 32 years her senior.<\/p>\n

Here, FEMAIL look into Riccio\u2019s life, who went from rags to riches and is now married to Trump\u2019s press secretary.<\/p>\n

Karoline Leavitt made history when she became the country\u2019s youngest press secretary at 27<\/p>\n

The high achiever is also a devoted mother and a loving wife to her husband Nicholas Riccio, 59<\/p>\n

\u00a0Who is Nicholas Riccio and how did they meet?<\/p>\n

Riccio, 59,\u00a0founded the real estate business Riccio Enterprises LLC and currently, he manages beachfront houses in New Hampshire, where the couple is from.<\/p>\n

While he has a successful business now, the doting husband hasn\u2019t always had a stable home.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Portsmouth Herald,\u00a0Riccio was living on the streets by the age of 18, relying on friends for basic hygrine.<\/p>\n

\u2018When I was 19 or 20, I would call my buddies to go over their houses to watch a game just so I could take a shower,\u2019 Riccio told the local newspaper in 2005.<\/p>\n

He attended Plymouth State University, and kickstarted his career in real estate after completing a course in 1990.<\/p>\n

It is unknown how the couple met, with very few posts about Riccio on Leavitt\u2019s social media account. He also does not appear to have a public account of his own.<\/p>\n

The List\u00a0published a theory that the couple met when Leavitt ran for a seat in Congress, representing New Hampshire\u2019s first district, in 2022, and\u00a0Riccio was working on her\u00a0campaign finance committee.<\/p>\n

Some of Riccio\u2019s properties have also been used to host the Women for Trump event, which Leavitt attended.<\/p>\n
