Her followers were quick to comment on the post as one said: “My husband and I were visiting the White House yesterday and saw your family out walking. Y’all are adorable.” And another shared: “Happy Mother’s Day Karoline!! Beautiful photo!!”
“Happy Mothers Day Karoline! Thank you for your service to our country!” a third person added.
The Mother’s Day content comes ahead of Leavitt’s trip to Saudi Arabia. The business trip comes just a week after Leavitt spent time with her husband and son as they enjoyed a short but sweet vacation in Palm Beach.
Leavitt shared photos of her family holiday to the Florida hot spot on Instagram. She captioned her post, “Weekends in Palm Beach,” with a camera emoji and green heart emoji.
Her relationship with her husband has come under scrutiny due to their 32-year age gap. The couple got engaged in December 2023 and married in January of this year.
Leavitt has previously spoken highly of her husband, saying in an interview, “He is my greatest supporter, he’s my best friend and he’s my rock. He’s built a very successful business himself so now he’s fully supportive of me building my success in my career.”

Balancing a demanding career in the spotlight with motherhood has been tough, but Leavitt has been open about being a working mother. She admitted that she feels “guilty” about being away from her son due to her job.
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Karoline said, “I spend every second that I possibly can with my son when I’m home on weekends and evenings.” She then added: “I try to make it home for bedtime as much as I can throughout the week.”
She also shared that she found being a new mom “challenging,” especially with the demands of her job. “I think every working mother understands the demands,” she said. “No matter where you are, what you’re doing, there is a sense of guilt.”
