Karoline Leavitt, the 27-year-old White House press secretary has sparked attention with her latest remark.

She is the youngest White House press secretary in history. And before she saw political success, she played softball at Saint Anselm College. She excelled off the field, making the dean’s list and honor roll as a freshman and sophomore

Leavitt recently revealed that her husband, Nicholas Riccio, who is 32 years her senior, is her biggest fan. The media has been abuzz about her low-key marriage to a man more than twice her age, with whom she welcomed a son in July. Sharing a photo of herself boarding a helicopter for work, Karoline wrote on Instagram: “Waving to my two biggest fans (husband and son) while boarding Marine One.”

The post elicited a strong reaction from fans, who flooded her Instagram page with comments, reports the Mirror US.

Some responses were sarcastic, with one user saying, “Join your Big Daddy on Marine One!” and another asking, “Can you let us taxpayers know the total cost of Trumps golf games? I mean you are so concerned about saving us $$ lol.”

However, many others praised Karoline’s confidence and integrity, with one fan writing, “Great pic! Such confidence and integrity.”

Another supporter said, “Karoline you are doing a fantastic Job . You are the best press secretary the White House has ever had in my opinion. I loved you on your first day.”

They continued, “Even if I am watching you from the big screen. Why because you are straight forward you don’t hesitate and tell it how it is. You always prepared to answer any questions specially from the left. Keep doing what you are doing the American People and the world are listening. God Bless you!”

Karoline’s husband has built his wealth through beachfront properties in Hampton Beach, which is an hour from Boston. The 59-year-old from New Hampshire, Riccio has crafted his own millionaire status with a spread of sought-after seaside plots, says Realtor.com.

He founded Riccio Enterprises LLC off the ground and nailed down 15 properties in 2005. Now, he owns nine rentable units in New Hampshire under Nautical Beach Rentals and another in West Virginia, worth an estimated cool $6 million.

But Riccio’s has another dream, which includes owning a sports team. He said to Seacoast Online: “My work in real estate has helped facilitate my dream of owning a professional sports team,” pinpointing this as a milestone he’ll hit sooner rather than later.

Before his success, Riccio was bagging groceries post-grad and took a real estate course in 1990. The ride wasn’t always smooth sailing – he opened up saying, “When I was 19 or 20, I would call my buddies to go over [to] their houses to watch a game just so I could take a shower” to the Portsmouth Herald.

Riccio found love when he crossed paths with Leavitt, culminating in their engagement in December 2023. The pair sealed their vows in a small ceremony and welcomed their son into the world on July 10.

Bakery Worker Spots 4 Abandoned Children Outside His Shop – What He DiscoaBakery Worker Spots 4 Abandoned Children Outside His Shop – What He Discovers Up Close Leaves Him Stunnedvers Up Close Leaves Him Stunned The morning started like any other in Burlington, Vermont. The January frost clung stubbornly to the sidewalks, the air carrying the sharp bite of winter. Michael Reed, a dedicated baker and owner of a small shop called Dulce Esperanza, unlocked his door at dawn, ready to prepare trays of bread that would fill the air with warmth and comfort. But on this particular morning, Michael’s routine collided with fate. At the threshold of his bakery sat a crumpled cardboard box. And inside it—huddled, shivering, and red-cheeked from the cold—were four abandoned children. The Shocking Discovery Michael’s breath caught as he knelt. The eldest, a girl of about ten, clutched a toddler against her chest. Two boys, both younger, pressed into her sides for warmth. Their clothes were far too thin for the bitter winter. The girl’s eyes lifted, wide with fear. “Please,” she whispered, “don’t send us away.” At that moment, Michael didn’t think twice. He opened his door wide. “No, sweetheart. You’re safe here. Come in.” Inside the bakery, the children were wrapped in blankets, warmed with mugs of milk, and given pastries fresh from the oven. But as Michael studied their tattered clothes, he noticed something unsettling—strange stitched symbols on their sleeves, triangular shapes with cryptic letters. When he asked, the girl stiffened. “Don’t touch it,” she warned. “They’ll come.” Her words haunted him. Who were “they”? Why were abandoned children marked like this? Calling for Help Michael’s first thought was to call child services, but the sheer terror in the girl’s eyes stopped him. He knew the system might provide food and shelter, but what these children feared went beyond ordinary abandonment. By midmorning, customers were already eyeing the children curiously. Uneasy, Michael stepped outside and pulled out his phone. There was only one person he trusted with something this delicate: Isabelle Carter, a police officer—and his childhood friend. When Isabelle arrived, her gaze went straight to the stitched markings. Her expression hardened. “Michael,” she said, lowering her voice, “this isn’t random. I’ve seen those symbols before. They’re linked to trafficking networks.” Michael’s stomach sank. These weren’t just abandoned children—they were victims of something far darker. Danger Enters the Bakery The bell above the bakery door chimed. A man in a dark coat stepped in, pretending to browse the shelves. But his eyes locked immediately on the children. Lucy, the eldest, clutched her siblings tighter. The man, who introduced himself as James, ordered coffee he never touched. His gaze never strayed from the children’s corner. When he finally left, Isabelle leaned in, whispering urgently: “That man isn’t a customer. I’ve seen him during investigations. He’s connected to these rings.” From that moment, Michael’s bakery became something else—not just a safe haven but a battleground. Turning a Bakery into a Fortress That night, Michael locked the doors early, pulling shades over the windows. He called his best friend, Thomas, a delivery driver known for his no-nonsense toughness. “You can’t take these guys on,” Thomas warned. “But you can’t hand the kids back, either. We’ll watch the place together.” They began shifts, keeping the bakery under guard day and night. The children slowly began to open up. Lucy revealed they had been taken from different towns and kept in a warehouse. The marks on their clothes were identifiers, brands that traffickers used to claim “ownership.” She spoke of other kids still trapped there, her voice trembling. Michael’s heart ached. These weren’t just abandoned children—they were survivors. And they needed more than bread and warmth; they needed justice. Escalation James returned. Sometimes alone, sometimes with men waiting outside on the street. One evening, he leaned close to Michael, voice cold: “These kids don’t belong to you. Mind your business, or someone gets hurt.” But Michael was stubborn. He wasn’t giving up. Days turned into a blur of tension. Every creak of the door sent adrenaline surging. Yet inside the bakery, amidst the fear, moments of humanity emerged. The boys began laughing again. The toddler giggled when Michael dusted flour on his nose. Lucy helped roll dough, her small hands trying to mimic his movements. For the first time, they were children again—not property. The Breaking Point Two nights later, James returned with two men and tried to break in. Michael and Thomas fought desperately to hold the door while Isabelle rushed backup to the scene. Sirens finally sent the traffickers scattering, but the message was clear—they weren’t stopping. That night, Lucy made a decision. Sitting at the bakery table, her voice shaking but resolute, she told Isabelle about the warehouse near the river. The place she and the others had been kept. “Please,” she begged, “save the rest of them.” The Raid At dawn, police stormed the warehouse. The reports that followed were harrowing: cages, filthy mattresses, and terrified children—dozens of them. James and his men were caught trying to flee. The evidence was undeniable. For Michael, waiting back at the bakery with Lucy and her siblings, the hours felt endless. When Isabelle finally returned, her voice was firm but her eyes glistened. “We got them. The children are safe.” Michael nearly collapsed in relief. But Isabelle corrected him gently: “It wasn’t me. It was Lucy. Her courage gave us the key.” Aftermath The case dominated headlines. James and his accomplices were sentenced to decades in prison. The network unraveled, freeing children who might otherwise have disappeared forever. For Michael, the hardest part came afterward—saying goodbye. Lucy clung to him. “I don’t want to leave. You made me feel safe.” He hugged her tight. “You’ll always have a home here. Don’t forget that.” A week later, he received a letter in careful handwriting: “Thank you for saving us. I’ll come back one day, I promise.” A Bakery Transformed Standing inside Dulce Esperanza, Michael realized the bakery was no longer just a business. It had become a place of hope. A place where kindness defied cruelty, and where four abandoned children had found safety when they needed it most. Every time he looked at the corner where the box once sat, he remembered the truth he had lived: sometimes, doing the right thing means opening your door—even when danger waits outside. Conclusion: The Lesson of the Abandoned Children Stories like these remind us of something profound. It’s easy to think one person can’t make a difference. Michael was just a baker. Yet his decision to act—to welcome four abandoned children into his shop—helped dismantle a network of exploitation. Love and courage often start small, like warm bread shared on a cold morning. But they ripple outward, changing lives in ways no one could have predicted. And for Lucy and her siblings, what began in fear outside a bakery ended in freedom—because one man refused to close his door.
