During a White House Christmas reception on December 15, 2025, President Donald Trump made the happy announcement that Donald Trump Jr., 47, and Bettina Anderson were engaged. The couple, who started dating in the middle of 2024, said emotional things to each other. Trump Jr. thanked Anderson for saying “yes,” and she called it the “most unforgettable weekend” of her life.
In August 2024, Trump Jr. and Anderson were seen holding hands in Palm Beach. This was around the time that news broke that he had broken up with his ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle. They were both at important events like the Republican National Convention and the presidential inauguration in January 2025. They went to a wedding in Udaipur, India, not long ago, which brought them closer together before the proposal.
Bettina Anderson is a model, influencer, and Palm Beach socialite who is known for her work with charities. She is the daughter of philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson. She is a volunteer with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County every week and gives money to the Hope for Depression Research Foundation and Project Paradise, a Florida conservation project. Anderson has gone to Mar-a-Lago, White House events, and family trips with Trump Jr., including one to Scotland.
This is Trump’s third engagement. He was married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018 and had five children with her: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. He got engaged to Guilfoyle in 2020, but they broke up by the end of 2024. After that, she became the U.S. ambassador to Greece. Anderson praised First Lady Melania Trump’s holiday decorations at the White House moment, which showed family support.
