The 27-year-old gave birth to a baby boy on July 10. She said becoming a mother was 'the best moment' of her life. 'It’s true when they say there’s nothing comparable to the love you feel for your child. My heart has grown bigger than I ever imagined possible.
Babies are the ultimate blessing and I’m bursting with gratitude for our beautiful, happy, healthy boy,' she wrote on Instagram during the summer. Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, named the baby Nicholas Robert. They call him Niko for short, she noted in the post. She has also shared several other photos of the baby since the infant's birth, with one showing her with Niko during Christmastime. 'There was the most magical sunset to kick off my baby’s first Christmas Eve,' Leavitt, who is Catholic, wrote. 'Followed by precious family time, delicious food, & lots of love. Feeling BLESSED and hoping everyone had an amazing holiday.' Leavitt made her debut in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room to speak to the media, and the public, saying she is ready to work. It is a priority of this White House to honor the First Amendment and it is a fact that Americans are consuming their news media from various different platforms, especially young people,' Leavitt said to open her first briefing. I take great pride in opening up this room to new media voices to share the president's message with as many Americans as possible,' she added. Trump appointed Leavitt as a spokeswoman during his latest campaign, praising her for doing what he described as 'a phenomenal job.' He later announced she'd be starting her new role as soon as soon as he took office. Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator,' Trump previously said of Leavitt. 'I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American People as we Make America Great Again.
