The lighthearted online banter focused on the couple’s significant age difference. One user joked, “She’s sizing them up for her next husband,” while another asked, “Is that her husband?” These types of comments have become somewhat common whenever Leavitt is seen in the company of older individuals, especially given Riccio’s age and profile.
Leavitt has previously spoken about her relationship, describing it as “a very atypical love story, but he’s incredible,” during an appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show.” Riccio, a successful real estate developer, reportedly owns over a dozen properties in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, and the couple’s engagement attracted attention for her stunning ring.
While the buzz around her personal life continues, Leavitt seems to take it in stride. And although the internet can be quick to joke, her supporters admire the way she handles the spotlight—with grace and confidence.
