And judging by her posts, Leavitt may be taking her followers along for the ride.
“We are renovating our place in Florida. Would you like to follow along?” she asked her followers alongside a poll with yes and no options.
The project offers a glimpse into Leavitt’s life after leaving one of the most visible — and demanding — positions in Washington.
Leavitt has also been sharing more of her day-to-day family life, including time with her two young children, Niko and Viviana.
While discussing a double stroller on Instagram, Leavitt revealed another detail about how the family intends to use its Florida property.
“So many questions about our double stroller! I love the Nuna, but we needed another stroller for our Florida home,” she wrote on her Instagram story over a picture of her two children, two-year-old son Niko and four-month-old Viviana.
The Florida property apparently won’t replace the family’s primary residence.
“I ordered this on Amazon since we will only be here for a few months of the year, and it’s less expensive.”
Leavitt’s shift toward family life comes after an extraordinary rise through Republican politics that ultimately landed her behind one of the most famous podiums in America.
She became the youngest person in U.S. history to serve as White House press secretary when she took the position during President Donald Trump’s second administration. Her final day in the role was August 27.
Her departure followed the birth of her second child earlier this year and a maternity leave that gave Leavitt time to reconsider how she wanted to balance motherhood with the relentless schedule of a senior White House official.
Speaking about her decision to leave, Leavitt made clear that walking away was hardly easy.
“It’s bitter because I’m leaving a job that I love so very much, and it’s been the honor and blessing of a lifetime to work for this president, President Trump. There will never be another like him and to serve as his spokesperson behind that podium. It has been the adventure of a lifetime,” she added.
But Leavitt said her children ultimately played the decisive role.
“They’re just at a critical time in their life when they need their mom home a little bit more,” she said of her growing brood.
Her White House exit, however, should not be mistaken for a complete departure from Trump’s political operation.
Trump announced that Leavitt would continue working as an outside adviser after leaving the administration. She has also returned to MAGA Inc., the Trump-aligned super PAC where she previously served before joining Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Leavitt herself made clear before leaving the White House that Americans had not seen the last of her.
“You guys will still see me all the time,” she told reporters while discussing her move back to MAGA Inc.
That arrangement potentially gives Leavitt something she had little of while serving in the West Wing: greater flexibility.
As White House press secretary, she was responsible for defending and explaining the administration’s agenda while navigating daily questions from a frequently combative press corps. The White House marked her final day by highlighting her tenure and Trump’s praise for her performance.
Now her public posts are offering a decidedly different picture.
Instead of briefing-room battles and television interviews, followers are seeing home renovations, strollers, poolside family time and the everyday realities of raising two young children.
“Living our best life,” Leavitt wrote Saturday alongside a photograph of her children relaxing near a pool.
For Leavitt, the Florida renovation appears to be one piece of the family-focused chapter she said she wanted when she made the difficult decision to leave the West Wing.
But she isn’t disappearing from politics.
With her continuing role in Trump’s orbit and her return to MAGA Inc., Leavitt appears set to remain involved in the America First movement — only now without having to report to the White House every morning.
For the moment, however, one of Trump’s most recognizable former spokeswomen has another project on her hands.
And this one involves considerably more paint, furniture and family time than press briefings.
