White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted photos to Instagram this week, featuring herself on Halloween along with her husband,  Nicholas Riccio, and their 16-month-old child. The images featured the family both outside the White House and outside the Naval Observatory, which is the residence of the vice president.

According to The Daily Beast, questions have been raised about whether filters were applied to the face of Leavitt’s husband, who is more than 30 years her senior.

“The airbrushing of your hubs face to make him appear younger was the trick,” one Instagram user wrote, per the Beast, of the photos.

“Karoline, Awesome picture but my friends noticed something: The guy on the left seems to have only his face photoshopped. His hands look like 60+ years old,” another user said of the photos. “What happened?”

Many others joked that the press secretary’s husband resembled her father.

This follows Leavitt, during the presidential visit to Asia this week, posting her personal haul of Korean skincare products, and The Cut, among other outlets, reporting that she could have bought most of that at Ulta, without even leaving the country.

There were other amused reactions on social media to Leavitt’s Halloween photo album:
