""It's definitely a challenging conversation to have at first," she explained. "But then once they got to know him and saw who he is as a man and his character and how much he adores me, I think it became quite easy for them. And now we're all friends." She went on to note: "My husband has such respect for my parents and the way they raised me, and we have a lot of fun together when they come to visit.""
""Like many couples with significant age gaps, Leavitt and Riccio have faced a fair amount of public scrutiny. Earlier this month, Leavitt was accused of editing a photo of Riccio taken when the couple brought Niko to the White House for a Halloween party. "That airbrushing of your hubs face to make him appear younger was the trick," one person wrote on Instagram. Added another: "Face tuning your senior citizen husband is wild lol.""
""Appearing on Megyn Kelly's SiriusXM radio show in February, Leavitt acknowledged that she and Riccio had 'a very atypical love story,' but went on to describe her husband as 'my greatest supporter.' "He's my best friend and he's my rock," she said at the time. "He's built a very successful business himself, so now he's fully supportive of me building my success in my career.""
Karoline Leavitt began dating Nicholas Riccio, a real estate developer 32 years her senior, and initially faced a challenging conversation with her parents. Parental concerns eased after they met Riccio, observed his character and devotion, and developed a friendly relationship between both families. Leavitt and Riccio married days before President Donald Trump's January inauguration and share a one-year-old son, Niko. The couple has encountered public scrutiny over their age gap and social media accusations about edited photos. Leavitt describes Riccio as a steadfast supporter, best friend, and a successful businessman who supports her career ambitions.
