WASHINGTON (TNND) — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced she is pregnant with her second child.
She shared the news on social media on Friday afternoon.
“The greatest Christmas gift we could ever ask for — a baby girl coming in May 2026,” Leavitt wrote on Instagram.
The post included a carousel of photos, including one of Leavitt wearing a white sweater dress while standing in front of a Christmas tree. Her hands are placed over her baby bump.
Other photos showed her sonogram image, as well as her husband, Nick, and their son, Nico, who was born 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,” she wrote. “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 added that she is “also extremely grateful to President [Donald] Trump and our Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for their support,” as well as for providing what she described as “a pro-family environment” in the White House.
“2026 is going to be a great year and I am so excited to be a girl mom!” she wrote.
Citing a senior White House official, Fox News Digital reported that Leavitt will remain in her post as press secretary. The media outlet noted that Leavitt will be the first pregnant press secretary in U.S. history.
Leavitt, who is 28 years old, is also the youngest press secretary in history.
She and Nick tied the knot in January, just days before Trump’s second inauguration.
