Karoline Leavitt's Family Values Under Fire: Internet Exposes Her 'Older Wealthy Spouse'

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s recent remarks at the Kennedy Center are stirring controversy yet again, attracting scrutiny online. Leavitt attended a vigil honoring 31-year-old conservative media figure Charlie Kirk, who passed away the previous week, alongside other members from Donald Trump’s administration. While commemorating Kirk, she proclaimed he “offered us an alternative path” amidst what she called the “brainwashing” of young people by influential societal figures. Leavitt urged youths to embrace marriage and parenthood, touting them as life's greatest legacies. However, critics swiftly pointed out her own personal history, highlighting that she gave birth out of wedlock in 2024 before marrying businessman Nicholas Riccio, 32 years her senior, in early 2025. Social media users have since challenged her professed values, questioning her credibility to lecture others on family and faith. Her ostentatious diamond cross necklace, often worn during her briefings, further complicates her portrayal, leading to mockery from both the public and late-night comedians.
