Khaberni - Caroline Levitt, the White House spokesperson, announced on Friday her pregnancy with her second child, who is expecting a new baby girl due in May 2026.
Alongside Christmas celebrations, Levitt posted a picture on her "Instagram" account showing her in front of a Christmas tree, and wrote: "The greatest Christmas gift we could ask for, a baby girl coming in May 2026."
She added that she and her husband are extremely happy to be expanding their family, expressing eagerness to see her son become a big brother.
The White House spokesperson noted her appreciation for the support she has received within the presidential institution, pointing out that the professional environment at the White House is clearly understanding of family aspects, which she considered a helpful factor in balancing work responsibilities and private life.
Caroline Levitt is 28 years old and is the youngest person to hold the position of White House press secretary in the history of the United States; she previously worked in the press office during President Trump's first term and held the position of press secretary for his 2024 election campaign.
In a related context, a senior White House official confirmed that Levitt will continue her work as press secretary despite her pregnancy, making her the first official spokesperson to be pregnant in the history of the United States.
Caroline Levitt and her husband Nicholas Ritchio were blessed with their first child Nicholas "Nico" Robert Ritchio in July 2024, and she had previously talked in interviews about the challenge of balancing motherhood and work demands during the election campaign and in the White House, where she returned to work just 4 days after the birth of her son due to an assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania.
It is worth mentioning that Caroline Levitt recently faced a wave of controversy on social media platforms after "Vanity Fair" magazine published a close-up photo of her as part of a report on the American administration team, where many comments focused on her appearance rather than her professional role, with accusations of harsh or unusual photography style.
Conversely, the magazine's photographer defended the photo, affirming that it was part of a unified artistic vision applied to a number of officials without personal targeting.
