White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has left fans stunned after she unveiled her latest family photo.
Leavitt, 28, shared a series of sweet snaps of her and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 59, posing with their 16-month-old son, Niko, as the family took in the White House's Halloween festivities last week.
In the photos, Niko was seen wearing a pumpkin costume before meeting President Donald Trump and enjoying petting goats and hurtling down a slide with his mom.
However, it was a family photo of Leavitt, Riccio, and their son that had fans talking as some accused Leavitt of Photoshopping her husband's face after getting comments about their 31-year age gap.
One of her followers wrote: "Karoline, Awesome picture but my friends noticed something: The guy on the left seems to have only his face photoshopped. His hands look like 60+ years old. What happened?"
Others added: "Man that smoothing filter on her old man’s forehead working overtime," and: "Smooth face, wrinkled hands. Photoshop or Botox?"
Another commented: "Old man hands blow your cover up Karoline. Your husbands face does not match his hands."
Leavitt has not publicly responded to the comments or confirmed whether the images had been edited or not before they were posted to her Instagram feed.
Leavitt, who married Riccio in 2024, first met him in 2022 during her congressional campaign in New Hampshire.
“A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband,” Leavitt shared during a February 2025 appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show. “I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends.”
Riccio is a successful real estate entrepreneur from New Hampshire, who built a multimillion-dollar property empire with more than 15 rental properties in Hampton Beach.
Before meeting his wife, he faced significant financial struggles, including experiencing homelessness in his youth, but his persistence led him to become a successful businessman.
In her interview with Megyn Kelly, Leavitt acknowledged her initial hesitation about the age difference between them. "Yes, of course," she said. "I mean, it’s a very atypical love story, but he’s incredible. He is my greatest supporter, he’s my best friend, and he’s my rock."
She added that he supported her in pursuing her own political and professional dreams, revealing: "He’s built a very successful business himself, so now he's fully supportive of me building my success in my career."
Leavitt also praised Riccio for his parenting, adding: "He’s the father of my child, and he’s the best dad I could ever ask for.
"I say, ‘I walked into your life and it’s been a circus ever since,’ but God bless him because he’s fully on board.”
And while Leavitt's role is largely in front of the cameras, she tries to maintain as much privacy in her personal life as possible, saying per Yahoo: "I respect his privacy,” noting that Riccio is an introvert who avoids social media. "He’s my number one fan, the best dad, and just the best man I’ve ever met."
