White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's marriage has been under scrutiny after a shocking post revealed the explosive age difference between her and her husband.
It wouldn't be wrong to mention that she's been targeted plenty of times on social media for the age gap, and another recent picture seems like it's starting that chain again.
A viral post shared by her highlighted the age dynamics within her own family. Leavitt is reportedly 32 years younger than her partner, who is a 60-year-old real estate developer, Nicholas Riccio.
A social media post by reporter Patrick Howley pointed out that Riccio is older than Leavitt's 55-year-old mother, noting how her mother was just 12 when Riccio graduated from high school. Critics online targeted the couple, with some labeling Leavitt as a true gold digger and making the most sarcastic comments about her relationship.
Despite the major backlash, Leavitt has chosen to openly defend their relationship, acknowledging on the Megyn Kelly Show that their love story is atypical.
