Donald Trump Jr., the son of President-elect Donald Trump, was seen kissing and holding hands with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson in paparazzi photos shared by Page Six amid speculation of a breakup with fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.
“Donald Trump Jr. was having dinner at Buccan in a corner booth… holding hands and kissing his girlfriend," a source told Page Six on Thursday (December 11).
“He was chatting with customers on his way out and very friendly," the source added.
Trump's reported relationship with Anderson comes amid reports that he officially called off his engagement to Guilfoyle.
“Kim is not happy about it,” a source told Page Six. “She didn’t want it to end.”
President-elect Trump named Guilfoyle as his upcoming administration's U.S. ambassador to Greece this week, despite reports that she and his son had split up.
“I’m honored to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to earning the support of the U.S. Senate,” Guilfoyle wrote on her X account following the president-elect's announcement. “President Trump’s historic victory is bringing hope and optimism to the American people and to freedom-loving allies across the world.”
Don Jr., 46, proposed to Guilfoyle, 55, the ex-wife of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and a former prosecutor and FOX News host who served as the chair of the fundraising arm of Trump's campaign, on New Year's Eve 2020, though the couple kept their engagement private for nearly a year. Insiders, however, told the New York Post that the two had been growing apart for some time.
“Don and Kimberly haven’t been getting along over the past year,” one source said. “They get argumentative at Mar-a-Lago in front of people. Nothing crazy, but you know when a couple is fighting. They bicker in public.”
Anderson attended the 2024 Republican National Convention and was seated behind Don Jr. and Guilfoyle.
