Leavitt, 28, has become one of the most recognized faces in Donald Trump’s administration, often engaging in heated exchanges with reporters during White House press briefings.
Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, are also parents to their son Nicholas, who is known as “Niko” and was born in 2024.
Although Leavitt had originally planned to begin her leave in late April, she briefly returned to the spotlight after the security incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. She made an unexpected media appearance before once again stepping away ahead of her due date.
Leavitt first shared that she was expecting a daughter late last year, describing the baby as “the greatest Christmas gift” she and her husband could have asked for.
