A Bold Fashion Choice
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made headlines on March 31, 2025, after wearing an ankle-length green dress with a knee-high slit during a press briefing on the White House North Lawn. Paired with brown heels, her outfit quickly became a hot topic online.

Online Backlash Over Her Dress
Social media users didn’t hold back. Comments ranged from, “She’s stuffed in that dress,” to “I think your dress is on backward?” Others bluntly stated, “The dress doesn’t fit her.”

Some critics suggested she needed a stylist, while others sympathized. One person remarked, “I can’t fit into my clothes from five years ago either.” Amid the critiques, a few found humor in the situation, with one Instagram user joking, “Married a billionaire & still can’t get clothes that fit her correctly.”

Addressing Her Personal Life
Beyond fashion debates, Leavitt recently opened up about her personal life. During a February 2025 interview on The Megyn Kelly Show, she discussed the 32-year age gap between her and her husband, Nicholas Riccio. Now 27, she met Riccio, 59, during her congressional campaign. They formed a close friendship before falling in love.

Despite the age difference, Leavitt called Riccio her biggest supporter and best friend. The couple shares a child, and she praised his role as a devoted father.

A Picture-Perfect Wedding
Leavitt shared cherished wedding moments on Instagram, reminiscing about their special day at Wentworth By The Sea Country Club in Rye, New Hampshire. She posted, “Finally found some time to post a few of my favorite pictures from one of my favorite days! 😌🤍✨💍.”

The wedding featured white roses, and Riccio was seen kissing his bride on the cheek in one of the many elegant photos.

Welcoming Baby Niko
On July 10, 2024, Leavitt celebrated a new milestone—the birth of her son, Nicholas Robert (Niko). Sharing the news on Instagram, she wrote, “The best moment of my life.” Fans quickly noticed Niko’s resemblance to Riccio, with one commenting, “OMG, their son is sooooooo cute!!! He’s a spitting image of his daddy.”

Family Moments Delight Fans
A recent Instagram post featuring Leavitt, Riccio, and baby Niko sparked more conversation. Fans adored the candid moment, with many pointing out Niko’s missing sock while appreciating the sweet family snapshot.

Leavitt’s personal and professional life remains a topic of interest, but despite the criticism, she continues to focus on what matters most—her family and career.
