White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Friday that she and her husband are expecting a second child, due in May.

“The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for — a baby girl coming in May 2026,” Leavitt, 28, wrote in an Instagram caption Friday alongside photos of herself and an ultrasound next to a Christmas tree.

“My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother. My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for the blessing of motherhood, which I truly believe is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth,” the press secretary added.

Leavitt’s first child with her husband, Nicholas Riccio, was born in July 2024, months before Donald Trump was re-elected as president in November. The child is named after his father but nicknamed Niko.

Leavitt and her husband, who is 60, met in 2022 when she ran unsuccessfully for Congress in New Hampshire.
