One would believe that working for the President of the United States leaves little to no room for family life—where long hours and high-pressure responsibilities often demand full attention.ButKaroline Leavitt, the new White House Press Secretary, is proving that motherhood and a top-tier government role don’t have to be mutually exclusive.A recent photo of Leavitt has taken the internet by storm. In the image, she is seen multitasking with grace—typing on her laptop with one hand while feeding her baby son with the other. The moment, both tender and powerful, captured the hearts of many across social media.The picture was shared by Margo Martin, Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor, just a few hours ago. Since then, it has already garnered over 3.2 million views, sparking a wave of admiration online. Many users are applauding Leavitt’s ability to balance her demanding role at the White House with the equally challenging and personal responsibilities of motherhood.One user pointed out, “It’s incredible what inner strength women possess – truly admirable. Many men would have already broken under such challenges. That’s why it’s so important that children grow up with the loving strength and stability of a mother.”Another commented, “What a boss mom!! She's the best Press Sec we've ever had.” However, there were many who called out the moment as a intentional photo op. At just 27 years old, Karoline Leavitt has made history as the youngest White House Press Secretary ever. Beyond her groundbreaking role in the Trump administration, she’s also navigating the joys and challenges of new motherhood. Leavitt and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, who is 32 years her senior, tied the knot just days before President Trump's Inauguration in January 2025.“I mean it's a very atypical love story, but he's incredible,” Leavitt had shared during a February 2025 appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show.The couple had been engaged since Christmas 2023 and welcomed their son, Niko, on July 10 of the following year. However, just three days after giving birth, there was an assassination attempt on Trump, which led to her cutting short her maternity leave and returning to work. “I looked at my husband and said, ‘Looks like I’m going back to work,' " she told The Conservateur in October 2024.Parmita Uniyal
