A Closer Look at Michael Leavitt's Life and Legacy
As the story surrounding Karoline Leavitt's brother, Michael Leavitt, unfolds, it brings attention to his personal life and the challenges he is currently facing. Recently, Michael’s former fiancée, Bruna Ferreira, was reportedly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), leading to her current custody in Louisiana and potential deportation to Brazil. Bruna is the mother of Michael’s 11-year-old son, Michael Leavitt Jr., and this situation has undoubtedly created a difficult time for the family.
Michael, who has been a prominent figure in his own right, has built a successful career and life in New Hampshire. According to his LinkedIn page, he is the co-owner, general manager, and vice president of his family’s auto dealership, Leavitt Auto & Truck Sales. This business has been operating for over two decades and has played a significant role in shaping Michael’s professional journey. After graduating from the University of New Hampshire, he took on these leadership roles within the family business.
In addition to his business endeavors, Michael has also experienced a stroke of luck that brought him a substantial financial windfall. Reports indicate that he won the DraftKings' weekly Millionaire Maker contest in October 2024, taking home a staggering $1 million. Following his win, Michael shared with The Cullman News that he planned to use the money to fix the lights on the back of his car and purchase a lamp for his son’s room. He emphasized that beyond these small purchases, he and his family were content with their current lifestyle, highlighting the importance of health and family.
Before embarking on his current path, Michael grew up in the small town of Atkinson, New Hampshire, alongside his siblings, including Karoline. The family was raised in a Roman Catholic household and described as middle-class. Their parents ran a family-owned auto business and an ice cream stand, where Karoline occasionally worked. In an interview with Derry News, the 27-year-old U.S. Press Secretary reflected on her upbringing, emphasizing the values instilled in her by her family.
Karoline shared that her childhood was filled with fun memories, including playing around their yard on a tube attached to a golf cart, her brothers piling pillows on top of her, and pulling pranks when she was home alone. She spoke fondly of her brothers, crediting them for her resilience and toughness. “I could be president and they’ll still treat me like their little sister,” she said, expressing her deep affection for them.
Her 11-year-old nephew, Michael’s son, recently ran for Kid Governor in New Hampshire in 2024. He credited Karoline as his inspiration, which meant a great deal to her. “It was the most rewarding news I have ever had in my life,” she shared. Karoline expressed her joy in being an aunt to both of her nephews and cherishing the moments when they tell her, “I saw you on TV.”
Despite the challenges faced by Bruna, Karoline has not publicly commented on the situation. However, her close relationship with her brother and her family continues to shape her life and career. As the story evolves, it remains to be seen how this event will impact the family dynamics and future decisions.
