Karoline Leavitt’s friends at the White House hosted her baby shower at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, DC, last week. The guest list included mostly MAGA women (more on that later). The White House Press Secretary has now shared new photos with her husband, Nicholas Riccio, from the baby shower.
Karoline Leavitt’s post with her husband Riccio comes after there were questions about his absence at her baby shower. Leavitt’s photo dump also features the couple’s son Niko. The couple can be seen flashing a big grin as they pose together with their son. Her husband was missing in the previous album posted from the baby shower, leading to rumors and speculations about their marriage.
Posting photos on her Instagram account, Karoline Leavitt wrote in her caption, “My beautiful friends threw me a beautiful baby shower, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I feel blessed to have so many strong and loving women in my life, and I can’t believe we will welcome our little lady into the world in a few weeks.”
In her caption, Leavitt also gave a shout-out to White House photographer and added in her caption, “Thank you to the wonderful Andrea Hanks for capturing this lovely day.”
