Donald Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, has announced his engagement to model and influencer Bettina Anderson. The engagement was made public Monday evening during a reception at the White House.
A New Chapter for Trump Jr.
“I’m normally not at a loss for words, because I usually am the one yapping and talking a lot,” Trump Jr., 47, said, according to reports. “I just want to thank Bettina for that one word: ‘Yes.’” Anderson echoed the sentiment, telling those present she was marrying the “love of my life” and felt like “the luckiest girl in the world” after an “incredible” weekend.
This engagement follows Trump Jr.’s previous engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is currently serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle, a former television personality and political strategist, played a prominent role in Republican conventions in both 2020 and 2024.
Anderson, who will turn 39 this December, is a co-founder of the non-governmental organization, The Paradise Fund. Her family background is rooted in the financial elite of Palm Beach, Florida, where her father, Harry Loy Anderson Jr., established himself as a prominent banker.
Anderson’s father built a network of influence through banking, becoming a trusted figure among Palm Beach’s wealthiest residents. Her mother, Inger Anderson, was a model in New York during the 1970s and 80s and embraced the fitness culture of the era.
Looking Ahead
While no wedding date has been announced, it is possible that the event will draw considerable attention, given the families’ prominence. It remains to be seen how Anderson’s involvement with The Paradise Fund will intersect with her new role within the Trump family. Further details regarding the wedding plans could emerge in the coming months.
