The couple, who were married in January, enjoyed the holiday weekend with a trip to the zoo as well as quality time with Leavitt’s family.

Leavitt shared a picture of Niko, who turns one in July, wearing a gingham shirt with carrots and chicks on it as he sat with an Easter basket with a plush bunny inside.

“First we prayed…,” Leavitt wrote, sharing a picture of her wearing a yellow dress and holding Niko at the Easter Sunday service at Passion City Church in Washington DC.

“And then, we played!” she added on the next post, showing her holding Niko alongside a person in an Easter Bunny costume.

Leavitt also shared pictures of Niko in a field of tulips before reposting her sister’s picture of her extended family.

The White House press secretary was seen smiling next to Riccio, 60, and holding Niko in front of the St. Regis hotel next to her parents, siblings, and their kids.

She also shared a picture on X of her and Niko at church on Sunday.

“Happy Easter, everyone! God is Good,” Leavitt wrote.

On Saturday, Leavitt posted pictures of her holding Niko at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute.

“Saturday well spent at the zoo,’ Leavitt wrote on Instagram.

Her colleagues shared sweet comments under the post.

“This is just the cutest thing ever,” wrote Kieghan Nangle, Leavitt’s executive assistant.

“Karoline!! This is so precious,” commented Kate DePetro, the assistant to Fox’s Dana Perino.

The holiday weekend comes weeks after Leavitt opened up about feeling “guilty” about spending time away from her son.

“I spend every second that I possibly can with my son when I’m home on weekends and evenings,”

“I try to make it home for bedtime as much as I can throughout the week,” she added.

She admitted it’s difficult to balance her White House duties with being a new mom.

“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.”

WHITE HOUSE EGG ROLL

Leavitt is scheduled to read to children in attendance at the first White House Easter Egg Roll of President Donald Trump’s second term on Monday.

Despite the rainy forecast, thousands are expected to attend the annual tradition, which is held on the South Lawn.

Each year, kids roll dyed Easter eggs across the lawn to a finish line. There’s also an egg hunt as well as story times and live performances.

Leavitt’s husband and son joined her at the event, with Nicholas pushing Niko in a stroller.

Tickets to the egg roll were distributed to the public through a lottery.

Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are set to address the crowd from a White House balcony before joining the event.

The American Egg Board donated 30,000 eggs to the White House for the festivities, according to the Associated Press.

“END OF THE ERA OF CHAMPIONS”: John Riel Casimero Claims the Whole World Saw Him Defeat Naoya Inoue After 10 Rounds in the Ring — The King Cried

Tokyo, May 3, 2025 — In one of the most talked-about showdowns in modern boxing, Filipino warrior John Riel Casimero shook the boxing world to its core by defeating Japanese legend Naoya Inoue in a dramatic 10-round battle that left fans stunned — and saw the once-unstoppable champion in tears.

Dubbed the “War of Warriors,” the highly anticipated bout between Casimero and Inoue delivered an explosive fight full of emotion, blood, and controversy. After 10 brutal rounds, the judges awarded Casimero the unanimous decision victory — a moment that signaled what he boldly called the “End of the Era of Champions.”

Standing tall in the center of the ring with blood still on his gloves and adrenaline in his voice, Casimero declared:
“The whole world saw it. I beat him. The king cried.”

And he wasn’t exaggerating. Cameras captured the rare image of Inoue, overcome with emotion, wiping away tears moments after the final bell. It was a scene that stunned fans — a vulnerable and painful ending for a fighter long seen as invincible.

Casimero’s relentless pressure and unpredictable angles kept Inoue on the defensive for much of the fight. While Inoue landed sharp counters and had his moments, Casimero’s volume, stamina, and sheer aggression swayed the judges and dominated the narrative.

Social media exploded within minutes of the decision, with fans worldwide praising Casimero for his grit and guts — while others called for an immediate rematch to settle the debate once and for all.

Inoue, ever the sportsman, addressed the crowd through tears:
“I gave everything. I’m sorry to my fans. I will come back stronger.”

But for Casimero, the victory was more than just a win — it was a mission fulfilled.

“People doubted me. They said I couldn’t do it. But I trained for this moment. I told you I would break the monster. And tonight, the monster fell.”

With this victory, Casimero has skyrocketed into the global boxing elite and may have set the stage for a second act as the sport’s new king. Meanwhile, Inoue faces the most critical moment of his storied career — a test of whether legends rise again after they fall.
