MAGA mommy is five years younger than her son-in-law... can you guess who?
She's a yoga instructor, a mother of two boys and a girl, and a Massachusetts native.
This woman is also the mom of a well-known MAGA star and is shockingly younger than her son-in-law - can you guess who it is?
It's White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt 's mom, Erin Leavitt.
She was born on July 18, 1970, while her daughter's husband, Nicholas Riccio was born in 1965 - leaving a five year age gap between the two.
Karoline, 27, married her husband Nicholas, 59, in January after they welcomed their baby boy Niko in July 2024.
The youngest press secretary in history is no stranger to the attention her age-gap romance gets, and even admitted last month she has a 'very atypical love story.'
It is unclear how her parents feel about her relationship, but they often post pictures to social media depicting a very tight-knit family.
While Erin, 54, isn't as active on social media as her husband Bob Leavitt, 65, she did take to Facebook in September honoring her children, including Nicholas.
'Daughters Day.. Sons Day. I Love mine,' she wrote alongside several snaps.
Meanwhile, Bob posted an image of his kids, grandchildren, and in-laws on Easter Sunday in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump.
'Happy Easter everyone. Hope you all have a great day,' he wrote.
Both he and his wife post about their daughter's accomplishments, especially since she entered her new role.
In a post from 2024, Bob revealed he met his wife when he was 30 and she was just a teenager.
'If you see my lovely Wife today wish her a Happy Birthday. 36 birthdays ago today we went out on our first date. We've been side-by-side ever since,' he said.
'Happy Birthday Erin hope you have a wonderful day. I love you!" he wrote alongside a picture of the two together. If our math is right, she was 18 and he was 28 at the time.'
Age doesn't appear to be an issue for this family, but faith plays a major role, as both Bob and Erin have passed down their Catholic beliefs and faith to Karoline and her two older brothers Mike and Joe Leavitt.
In February, Karoline told the New York Post: 'My Christian faith is a huge part of my life.
'My faith, my marriage, my family life — it's everything to me," she added.
Her husband, who is 32 years her senior, is a self-made real estate developer who met his now wife during her congressional career in New Hampshire.
Karoline's mother Erin is a yoga instructor at The Hot Yoga Studio.
According to the studio's website, she started her yoga career in 2017 and is reiki certified.
She holds a degree in human services as well, it added.
Karoline's family owns an ice cream Atkinson and her father Bob runs a truck dealership in Plaistow.
Just last month, she appeared on the Megyn Kelly show, opening up about how the romance with Nicholas first began.
''I met my husband during my Congressional Campaign. A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband,' she said.
'I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends. And then we fell in love.'
When The Megyn Kelly Show host asked if there had been any thought in her mind of 'I can't date him, he's 59 and I'm 27?'
Karoline confirmed that she had dealt with those initial doubts about how the 32-year age gap would impact the relationship.
'Yes, of course. I mean it's a very atypical love story but he's incredible,' she gushed. 'He is my greatest supporter, he's my best friend and he's my rock.'
The political aide continued: 'He's built a very successful business himself so now he's fully supportive of me building my success in my career.
'He's the father of my child and he's the best dad I could ever ask for. And he is so supportive, especially during a very chaotic period of life.'
The government official noted just how much her partner has had to take on thanks to her current role as she added: 'I say, "I walked into your life and it's been a circus ever since" but God bless him because he's fully on board'.
Megyn noted that he is 'Italiano, he's a lover, he's a romantic man', to which Karoline enthusiastically agreed.

May jobs report shows 139,000 jobs were added last month
Before the report's release, economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimated that 125,000 jobs were added last month. Job gains for March and April were revised down by a combined 95,000, portraying a weaker labor market that believed in late winter and early spring. March's total was downgraded from 185,000 to 120,000 and April's, from 177,000 to 147,000. Is the job market good or bad right now? The labor market has held up remarkably well despite the hurdles posed by Trump's economic policies, with employment gains averaging well over 100,000 a month so far this year. But many forecasters reckoned a more pronounced hiring slowdown took shape in May and would intensify in the months ahead. Trump's trade strategy lies at the center of the projected downshift. He paused the high double-digit tariffs he slapped on dozens of countries in April and in May agreed to slash levies on Chinese imports from 145% to a still-elevated 30%. China agreed to broadly similar concessions. But the moves hinge on further U.S. deals with China and other countries. And 25% tariffs remain in effect on all imported cars and many goods from Canada and Mexico. This week, Trump hiked fees on steel and aluminum imports to 50% from 25%. And while a trade court last month struck down many of Trump's tariffs, they remain in effect during an appeal, prolonging the uncertainty for businesses. Economists expect the duties to reignite inflation within a month or two and dampen consumer spending. The costs also have heightened business uncertainty, curtailing hiring and investment. How many federal employees are laid off? The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency has cut as many as 120,000 federal jobs but many workers have been placed on administrative leave, leaving them on U.S. payrolls pending court cases, Morgan Stanley said in a report. Still, the reductions have started to filter into the jobs numbers. Goldman Sachs estimates federal employment declined by a relatively modest 10,000 in May, adding to the 26,000 government workers that Capital Economics says already have been chopped since February. Are there still immigrants coming to America? Besides toughening enforcement at the southern border, the administration has canceled or declined to renew work permits and other protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants, economist Lydia Boussour of EY-Parthenon wrote in a note to clients. That will likely mean a smaller labor supply that further constrains hiring, especially in industries such as construction and hospitality, she said. Some calendar quirks also could have suppressed employment last month. For technical reasons, a late Easter likely boosted payrolls in April but heralds a lower tally for May as staffing levels returned to normal, Morgan Stanley said. Yet while hiring generally has slowed, other economists figured job growth remained sturdy last month as companies frustrated by labor shortages during the pandemic continued to curtail layoffs. Capital Economics and Barclays both predicted 150,000 jobs gains for May. By the end of the year, however, Barclays believes tariffs, federal layoffs and immigration curbs will slow average monthly job gains to about 75,000.

Bannon prods Trump to cut off Musk: 'He crossed the Rubicon'
Bannon has stoked the tension, which began when Musk, a former special government employee who led Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, called on senators to reject Trump's tax cut bill. The two have traded barbs ever since, with Musk suggesting that Trump be impeached and Trump lamenting to reporters on June 5 that he did not know if he and his former pal would be able to repair their relationship. Bannon tightens the screws on Musk In print, radio and podcast interviews, Bannon has piled on Musk. He called on Trump to end the SpaceX and Tesla founder's government contracts. He's also prodded Trump to investigate alleged drug use by the South African-born businessman, as well as his immigration status. "He crossed the Rubicon. It's one thing to make comments about spending on the bill. There's another thing about what he did," Bannon said on NPR's "Morning Edition" program. "You can't come out and say kill the president's most important legislative occurrence of this first term." Musk's claim that Trump is mentioned in undisclosed classified files related to the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Musk's affirmative response to a social media post pushing for Trump to be replaced by Vice President JD Vance were too far, Bannon said on NPR, a public broadcasting organization the White House is trying to defund. "It has crossed the line," Bannon said of Musk. "There's no going back." Bannon said in a June 6 podcast he does not consider Musk's ouster a personal victory. "I don't ever look at things like that at all. Right now, it's a national security issue," Bannon said on the UnHerd with Freddie Sayers podcast. He went on to accuse Musk of abusing his position inside the government to try gain access to government secrets to boost his business. DOGE did not deliver on the $1 trillion in savings Musk promised, he said of the government spending-slashing effort. "Where's the money? What was DOGE really doing?" Bannon asked. "We want to make sure DOGE and Elon Musk didn't take any of the data sets for his personal use for his artificial intelligence, which is driving all of his businesses." A clash that was months in the making Bannon's own distaste for Musk dates back to a dispute over temporary visas for highly skilled immigrant laborers. Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who Trump initially tapped to co-lead DOGE, pushed for an expansion of the program as way to attract global talent, irritating immigration hawks in the conservative movement. "We're not going to be some anarcho-libertarian (state) run by Big Tech oligarchs -- that's not going to happen," Bannon said on his War Room podcast in December. Bannon told Politico in a June 5 interview that, after the split with Trump, the MAGA movement is now done with Musk. "I think MAGA is now seeing exactly what he was," Bannon said. "I'm just saying, 'Hey, told you -- knew this was gonna happen, folks. Not a hard one.'"
