Michael Leavitt, the press secretary's brother, had a relationship with Ferreira, and the two have a son.
A Trump administration official confirmed the connection between Ferreira, Michael Leavitt and his sister Karoline Leavitt — the 28-year-old New Hampshire native who rose from relative obscurity to occupy one of the most prominent positions in the White House. The official said the child's parents have not spoken in years, and that the child has lived full-time in New Hampshire with Michael Leavitt since his birth.
WBUR could not immediately confirm whether the boy only lived with his father after the couple separated roughly 10 years ago.
