(Scypre.com) – Donald Trump Jr. recently congratulated Kimberly Guilfoyle on her nomination as the next American ambassador to Greece. This announcement comes amid swirling rumors that the couple’s engagement has ended, with reports suggesting Trump Jr. is now romantically linked to socialite Bettina Anderson.
Trump Jr. took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his support for Guilfoyle following his father’s official announcement. He wrote: “I am so proud of Kimberly. She loves America and she always has wanted to serve the country as an Ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First.”
On December 11, the Daily Mail reported that Trump Jr.’s engagement to Guilfoyle had ended. Guilfoyle, who was previously married to California Governor Gavin Newsom, has not publicly addressed the claims. A source reportedly close to the family told the outlet that the couple was “waiting until after the inauguration” to officially announce their split. Former President Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated for his second term on January 20, 2025.
Earlier in the year, rumors of trouble in the relationship surfaced when the Daily Mail published photos of Trump Jr. having an intimate lunch with Anderson at The Honor Bar in Palm Beach, Florida. Witnesses claimed the two were seen kissing during the meal. Further fueling speculation, Anderson celebrated her 38th birthday on December 6 with a dinner that Trump Jr. reportedly attended. She shared snapshots of the occasion on Instagram, including one featuring a bottle of 2013 Salon champagne with captions like “S is for Spoiled” and “How sweet it is to be loved by you.”
In addition to the personal headlines, Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle’s professional lives remain intertwined with the Trump family’s political ambitions. Donald Trump announced Guilfoyle’s nomination for the ambassador role on his social media platform, Truth Social. Praising her qualifications, he wrote: “For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States and safeguard its interests abroad.”
Guilfoyle shared her excitement on X, stating she was “honored to accept” the nomination. She added, “As ambassador, I look forward to delivering on the Trump agenda, supporting our Greek allies, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.”
Despite the controversy surrounding her personal life, Guilfoyle’s nomination continues a pattern of Donald Trump’s appointments involving those close to him. In November, Charles Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s father-in-law, was nominated as the U.S. ambassador to France, while Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, Massad Boulos, was named a senior Middle Eastern advisor. Lara Trump, Eric Trump’s wife, recently stepped down as co-chair of the Republican National Committee amidst speculation she may pursue the Florida Senate seat vacated by Marco Rubio. During Trump’s first term, both Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner held senior advisory roles.
As for Donald Trump Jr., he shares five children with his ex-wife Vanessa Trump. Their eldest daughter, 17-year-old Kai Trump, has recently gained attention for her growing YouTube channel, where she documents her life and interactions with her grandfather.
While the unfolding dynamics of the Trump family’s personal and political ventures continue to captivate the public, Guilfoyle’s upcoming Senate confirmation will determine her future role as a U.S. diplomat.
