Karoline Leavitt’s followers were quick to notice a parenting detail that they found adorable in new Instagram post with her husban and son at work.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt followers recently noticed a cute detail in her latest Instagram post featuring her baby son. The 27-year-old Trump staffer shared heartwarming family photos alongside her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 59, and their son, Niko, who will celebrate his first birthday in July.
Captured in front of the White House’s West Wing, the family posed for the camera with beaming smiles. Dressed in the same baby blue suit she wore during that day’s press briefing, Leavitt beamed as she held her baby and posed alongside Riccio, who wore a classic navy striped suit.
However, fans were quick to spot a charming touch in the otherwise polished moment — little Niko was missing one sock.
The seemingly minor detail delighted followers, adding a dose of relatable, everyday parenting reality to the elegant setting. One fan couldn’t resist commenting:
“My favorite part is the missing sock…it makes this pic so perfect!” The lighthearted remark resonated with others, highlighting the sweet imperfection that made the photo even more memorable.
Another fan playfully added, “The cutest!!! He’s so proud that he managed to get one sock off.”
“Precious!! Love one sock on. He’s a doll,” gushed a third commenter.
Yet another follower chimed in, “Such a happy lil guy! Love one sock on!”

The heartwarming reactions continued to pour in, with fans embracing the adorable, candid moment that made the family photo even more endearing.
A Closer Look at the Background
Behind Leavitt and her baby in the Instagram Story image, fans spotted two framed New York Post covers pinned to a bulletin board—along with two handwritten motivational notes, both appearing to be on official White House stationery.
One note read:
“You are strong and brave!”
The other offered a playful boost of confidence:
“Slay the briefing day away!”

The origin of the notes remains unknown, but the supportive messages charmed followers, many of whom praised the behind-the-scenes look at the press secretary’s workspace.
