Fans were sidetracked by a background detail in KAROLINE Leavitt’s adorable photos of her family visiting the White House.
On Tuesday, Leavitt, who works as the White House press secretary, was visited by her husband, Nicholas Riccio, who brought their eight-month-old son.
On Instagram, she posted photos of the family outing with the caption, “Visiting mama at work.”
In the family photos, Leavitt was seen smiling beside her husband, who was dressed in a navy, striped suit, while holding baby Niko in the baby blue suit she had worn to Tuesday’s briefing.
On her Instagram Story, Leavitt also posted a photo of herself with her son behind a desk.
Writing, “My sweet sweet boy,”
In front of a mirror and a bulletin board, she was seen in the photo holding up Niko, who was wearing a bowtie.
Fans with keen eyes saw what was hanging on the corkboard right away.
Two handwritten notes and two New York Post papers were on exhibit.
One of the notes said, “You are brave and strong.”
Another person exclaimed, “Slay the briefing day away!”
It looked as though White House stationery was used to write both letters.
Who wrote the touching notes is unknown.
In addition to pointing out another detail in the adorable photos, fans expressed their love for Leavitt’s family in the comments section of her Instagram post.
Niko is wearing just one sock in the family photos in front of the White House.
“Precious! Put on a love sock. One Instagram user wrote, “He’s a doll.”
“The cutest! “He’s really proud that he was able to remove one sock,” someone else said.
“It’s the one sock off one sock on for me,” a third person commented.
“What a cuteheart! He will be extremely proud of his mother as a child.
The glimpse into Leavitt’s family follows weeks after she posted wedding photos, which showed an intimate glimpse of her special day with Riccio, who is thirty-two years her senior.
In recent weeks, Leavitt has become more comfortable talking about her marriage to the real estate tycoon after initially keeping a low profile about it.
In a recent podcast, she acknowledged that their relationship was “atypical” after mutual friends introduced them.
They got married in January 2025 after becoming engaged in December 2023.
On July 10, 2024, Leavitt and Riccio welcomed their son into the world.
