‘Is She Pregnant’?’: Karoline Leavitt’s Abs Set Off Frenzy Online After Before-and-After Photos Surface in a Halter Top

Donald Trump critics think his press secretary’s figure is spreading as quickly as the administration’s purported misinformation. Now, a resurfaced “MAGA Minute” report breaking down “one of the hottest weeks in our nation’s history” has several people side-eyeing Karoline Leavitt for more than her claims that the economy is thriving and egg prices are plummeting.

The 28-year-old fronts the videos shared on social media. On this occasion, Leavitt’s blond hair seemed slightly tousled, unlike her neat appearance during White House briefings, and she wore a red sleeveless blouse and khaki slacks.

‘She Looks 48’: Karoline Leavitt’s Beach Look In New Family Photos with Husband and Their Son Has Fans Zooming In

Without a podium to obscure the view of her body and only using her hands to cover her mid-section, Instagram users began to nitpick her look, in particular, claiming that she is not as slim as some may recall. One critic snidely remarked, “Least they r feeding u well cause u have really put on the pounds.”

Someone else more pointedly wrote about the July 4th video, “She is getting fat.” A third individual agreed that Leavitt seemed fuller when they asked, “Is she pregnant?” The White House’s chief spokesperson and her husband, Nicholas Riccio, are parents to 1-year-old son Nicholas “Niko” Robert Riccio.

They welcomed the toddler in July 2024. Leavitt has not shared if the couple has plans to continue expanding their family. Regardless, her looks have become a hot topic among trolls.

Since becoming the youngest press secretary in U.S. history, she has been shredded for her “Mar-a-Lago makeover,” complete with Botox, filler, and rapid aging accusations. The latter disses are often accompanied by wisecracks about her and Riccio‘s 32-year age gap.

The resurfaced MAGA Minute was quickly bombarded with accusations of dishonesty. One person said, “Wow. Full of Lies.” Another person said, “The job report is a total lie, we saw the real one.” Still others ignored the politics and fixated on her features. “Did you get some facial work done?” asked one IG user. A second heckler typed, “What’s with the f—king lipstick babe?”

However, one person who is not criticizing Leavitt’s mouth is Trump. She has not only won adulation for being his “superstar” but also for her lips that “move like she’s a machine gun.”
