White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt recently announced she’s pregnant with her second child, a girl. Leavitt is due in 2026. She gave birth to her first child, Niko, in July 2024.
“My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother,” Leavitt told Fox News Digital. “My heart is overflowing with gratitude to God for the blessing of motherhood, which I truly believe is the closest thing to Heaven on Earth.”
Leavitt will remain in her post as press secretary, an anonymous White House official told Fox News Digital.
Leavitt added that she is “extremely grateful to President Trump” and “amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support, and for fostering a pro-family environment in the White House.”
Good for Leavitt and her husband. May God bless them and their family.
Now, to step on some toes.
Leavitt has an opportunity to do something hard, but important, with her second pregnancy. It will require sacrifice. It will be greatly rewarded, I think, though perhaps in subtle ways.
