Age-gap relationship discourse is like human papillomavirus: It’s always lying dormant, ready to pop up again at any given moment. On Wednesday morning, the conversation resurfaced on Miranda Devine’s Pod Force One podcast , when Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt discussed what it was like to introduce her parents to her now-husband, Nicholas Riccio , who is 32 years her senior.

“What did your parents think when you said, ‘Oh, I’ve got this guy who is almost the same age as my dad?’” Devine asked Leavitt, who is 28.

“It’s definitely a challenging conversation to have at first,” Leavitt replied. “But then once they got to know him and saw who he is as a man and his character and how much he adores me, I think it became quite easy for them. And now we’re all friends.”
