Leavitt and Riccio, a successful real estate developer, first connected in 2022 during her unsuccessful bid for Congress in New Hampshire. "We met during my congressional campaign," the White House operative gushed to Pod Force One host Miranda Devine in November 2025. We're married with a beautiful baby, and he is just an amazing guy." The couple married on January 4, 2025, just before Trump, 80, was sworn in to a second term as president.
