Leavitt married Nicholas Riccio, a 59-year-old real estate developer, in January 2025, just before Trump took office, and the two of them have a son.
The 32-year age difference between the couple has drawn notice. In a recent interview, the press secretary mentioned this in passing and claimed that Riccio is her “greatest supporter, he’s my best friend, and he’s my rock.”
“As he has established a prosperous business for himself, he is now completely supportive of me achieving professional success,” she continued.
