On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the birth of her second child alongside a brief update on social media.
“On May 1st, Viviana aka ‘Vivi’ joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love,” Leavitt said in an Instagram post. “She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister. We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble.”
In late April, Leavitt postponed her maternity leave to hold a last-minute press briefing following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.
“Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy — I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good,” she said on social media.

Congratulations! May Our Lord continue blessing your family and give you a great time of bonding! I pray you’re able to nurse and trust that the country and the world will go on. Your prayers will be even more powerful as a Mommy cuddling your little ones ~ reading to both and resting as needed. You are so good at being Press Secretary that no one can take your place; however, we can wait while your family needs you. I pray for creative ways to allow long bonding time with sweet little Vivi! They grow so fast! Enjoy every minute for all four of you ~ and extended family, too! Hugs, hopes, thanks, dreams, & prayers!
And a safe, healthy and happy life to you all!
