White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was seen enjoying the 2025 Easter Egg Roll on Monday, hosted by President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, with her husband Nicholas Riccio and their nine-month-old son Nico.

Despite rarely being seen in public with her 59-year-old husband, she made time for this special family event. Riccio, looking youthful, wore a tan suit and purple tie as he pushed baby Nico, dressed in light blue, around the South Lawn in a stroller. The couple welcomed their first child last July.

The White House’s website revealed that other attractions at the event included a Be Best Military Card Writing Station, a cookie decorating station, and a Reading Nook, courtesy of Amazon and Be Best Hopscotch. Leavitt served as a reader for the Nook. She shared a video on social media of her reading a children’s book to the attending kids.

According to Leavitt’s Instagram posts, she took a break from her duties and embarked on a special trip with her family to the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the holiday commemorating Jesus’ resurrection before the egg roll.

Leavitt turned heads as she met with the press, clad in a Self Portrait square-neck lace dress, ideal for the Easter festivities. Posting on Instagram, Leavitt shared her enthusiasm, “A tradition unlike any other. The White House Easter Egg Roll,” complementing the caption with two photographs of her cherished family.

Her followers quickly filled the comments with warm messages. One fan gushed, “God bless you and your beautiful little family, continued prayers! You are absolutely crushing it and we couldn’t be prouder.”

Someone else commented, “Beautiful Family and we love Karoline as our Press Secretary! Superior job!” A third added: “God bless and watch over your beautiful little family Karoline.”

The White House beamed with celebration, as both President Trump and his wife welcomed thousands to their annual Easter bash, which this time featured an authentic twist—real eggs provided by America’s egg farmers instead of the usual plastic ones.

The event garnered support from giants like YouTube, Amazon, and Meta, per NPR, and the proceeds will go to the non-profit organization dedicated to preserving White House lore, the White House Historical Association.

Children attending the event had the opportunity to participate in the America250 initiative, a precursor to the nationwide celebration of America’s 250th founding anniversary. The America250 initiative will allow kids to sign a mini Declaration of Independence and even dress up as the Founding Fathers.
