Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is sharing her most poignant relationship advice while giving insight into her own age-gap romance with husband Nicholas Riccio, who is 32 years her senior.
Karoline Leavitt gave advice to women in relationships similar to her own.
The former White House press secretary, 29, opened up about the 32-year age gap between herself and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Oct. 14.
When asked by one of her followers to share advice for women in “age-gap relationships,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Forget the haters and follow your heart!”
Leavitt continued of her husband, 61, “Marrying this man was the best decision I ever made. He’s the absolutely best husband and dad in the world. Everyone gets why we are together when they actually meet him and see us together.
Leavitt and Riccio, a real estate developer, met in 2022 and got engaged the following year. They got married in January 2025.
Leavitt also shared why she hides her children’s faces in social media photos, writing in another post included in her Instagram Stories, “I wish I didn’t feel the need to do this because my kids are so dang cute and I am so proud of them. But I received a lot of threats and negativity in my job as Press Sec, and I feel it’s the right thing to do to protect their innocence.”
She added, “Also, I wonder when they grow up one day, will they want their whole lives already documented on social media? Maybe not. So I will probably wait until they are old enough to have a choice. That’s just how I feel right now.”

She posted photos of two Louis Vuitton gift boxes and a bouquet of flowers. There were also three pink envelopes, addressed to “Mom,” Momma” and “My wife.”
