Leavitt and Riccio wed on January 4, 2025, days before Trump’s second inauguration.
In December 2025, Leavitt announced that she and Riccio were expecting a baby girl in May, making her the first-ever pregnant White House press secretary.
“My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Leavitt gave birth to a daughter, Viviana, on May 1.
“She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister,” Leavitt wrote on Instagram. “We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble.”
