White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Announces Birth of Daughter Viviana

Her public post drew congratulations alongside criticism focused on her husband's age.

Overview

  • Leavitt said Thursday that her daughter Viviana, born May 1, is “perfect and healthy.”
  • She added that their son, Niko, is adjusting to being a big brother and that the family is enjoying a newborn “bubble.”
  • The announcement came after she briefly postponed maternity leave to hold an April 27 briefing following a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
  • Online reaction mixed warm well-wishes with harsh comments that fixated on the couple’s 32-year age gap, with several posts calling out her 60-year-old husband.
  • Leavitt, 28, had revealed the pregnancy in December 2025 and thanked President Donald Trump and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for what she called a pro‑family workplace.
