White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently posted heartwarming family photos — featuring herself, husband Nicholas Riccio, and their eight-month-old son, Niko — visiting her at the White House. The pictures show the family smiling together inside the West Wing, with Niko especially stealing hearts in his adorable bowtie… and notably wearing just one sock!
However, attentive fans zeroed in on more than the missing sock; the background added an unexpected emotional layer. Behind them, a corkboard is pinned with encouraging handwritten notes—one reading “You are strong and brave!”, another urging “Slay the briefing day away!” These appear to be on official White House stationery, leading many to speculate whether they were left by Karoline herself or a supportive colleague.
