At age 27, Karoline Leavitt set a record by becoming the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary. Not only is it an impressive feat to hold this demanding and notable position at her age, but she’s also making strides in her career while embracing a new chapter in her life: motherhood.

Leavitt, who also served as the national press secretary for President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, became a first-time mother when she welcomed her son Nicholas into the world in July. She was offered the campaign position early on in her pregnancy by Trump’s co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita and, in good faith, decided to tell them ahead of time that she was expecting. Leavitt told the Conservateur, “They couldn’t have been more accepting and welcoming of me.”
