Peek Inside Karoline Leavitt's Luxe Pink Nursery: $1,375 Blanket and D.C. Reads Galore
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt just dropped a bombshell: she’s now a mom of two! The 28-year-old and her 60-year-old real estate mogul husband, Nicholas Riccio, welcomed their daughter, Viviana, on May 1, and the internet is buzzing.
Leavitt took to social media to share the joyous news, posting a heartwarming photo of herself cradling her newborn in a nursery that screams opulence. Think all-pink everything: from ruffled curtains to plush bedding, and let’s not forget that eye-popping Hermes blanket.
“On May 1st, Viviana aka ‘Vivi’ joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love,” Leavitt gushed on Instagram. “She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister.”

But wait, there’s more! The nursery isn’t just a pastel paradise; it’s a showcase of luxury. The Hermes Avalon Cabriole blanket draped over a chair is a staggering $1,375. Made from a sumptuous blend of 90% merino wool and 10% cashmere, it’s the kind of item that makes you question your life choices. Resellers are already flipping it for up to $1,550 on Poshmark!
Leavitt’s nursery also features an array of D.C.-themed books, including “Her First Bible” by Melody Carlson and “Washington D.C., ABC” from Mr. Boddington's Studio. Because what better way to introduce your child to the world than with a side of politics?
“We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble,” she continued in her post. “Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy - I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good.”
Leavitt and Riccio are already parents to nearly two-year-old Niko. They announced this pregnancy back in December 2025 with a festive photo in front of a Christmas tree, showcasing Leavitt’s baby bump in a stunning white sweater dress.

“The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for - a baby girl coming in May 2026,” she declared at the time. “My husband and I are thrilled to grow our family and can’t wait to watch our son become a big brother.”
The nursery is adorned with charming touches: a blue bunny sculpture, a plush pink doll, and a framed photo of Leavitt and Riccio in a pink picture frame. It’s like stepping into a fairytale where everything is dipped in cotton candy.
Leavitt wrapped up her maternity leave on April 24 but made headlines with one last press briefing on April 27 after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting incident. She’s set to return to the podium soon, but until then, Cabinet members—including Vice President JD Vance and even President Trump—will fill in for her.
