Karoline Leavitt appears to have returned to work after taking maternity leave following the birth of her daughter, Viviana, on May 1. The 28-year-old White House press secretary recently accompanied President Donald Trump on official travel, signaling her return to public duties after spending several weeks focused on her growing family.
Leavitt announced her daughter’s arrival with an emotional message, describing baby Viviana as “perfect and healthy” and sharing that her family had been enjoying every moment of their “newborn bubble.” She also thanked supporters for their prayers throughout her pregnancy, saying she felt their encouragement during the experience.
Recent photos showed Leavitt traveling aboard Air Force One and attending administration events alongside President Trump. She also shared updates from a visit to Pennsylvania, where she joined the president at an event attended by a large crowd. Her appearance marked one of her first major public engagements since giving birth.
As White House press secretary, Leavitt plays a key role in communicating the administration’s policies and responding to media questions. During her leave, several senior officials helped handle public briefings and press events. While it remains unclear exactly when she will resume regular appearances at the White House briefing podium, her recent travels suggest she is gradually returning to her full responsibilities while balancing life as a mother of two.
