Donald Trump Jr. Reflects on Bond with Kimberly Guilfoyle Amid Breakup Reports
Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle have reportedly ended their engagement after four years together, but Trump Jr. emphasized their ongoing mutual respect and care for each other.
The couple, who became engaged in 2020, made headlines earlier this fall when news of their possible split surfaced, though Trump Jr. did not confirm the breakup directly, as Page Six reports, and now Guilfoyle is headed to Greece in a diplomatic role.
Despite the separation, Trump Jr. publicly praised Guilfoyle’s work in support of his father’s political agenda and defended her from media criticism. He stated that they will “never stop caring for each other” and highlighted the important role she will continue to play in his father’s administration.
Trump Jr. spoke out in response to what he called "baseless and petty fake news cheap shots" against Guilfoyle. He defended her career achievements, including her role as a prosecutor, her prominent position in the MAGA movement, and her advising role within the Trump administration.
He also commended her work during his father's presidential campaigns, expressing admiration for her dedication in helping elect and reelect Donald Trump.
Trump Jr. made it clear that no one had worked harder on "Team Trump" than Guilfoyle, adding that she truly deserved the ambassadorship to Greece. He praised her work ethic, leadership, and what he considered her undeniable contribution to the political movement.
In an official announcement, Trump Jr. also mentioned his support for her new role. He stated, “The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever.”
Trump Jr. Seen with New Companion After Engagement News
Amid the breakup rumors, Trump Jr. was spotted with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 38. The two were photographed holding hands and kissing after a dinner at Buccan, a popular restaurant in Palm Beach. This public display of affection took place as Anderson celebrated her birthday.
Later that evening, Trump Jr. and Anderson were also seen at Mar-a-Lago, where they mingled with guests. The couple appeared comfortable together, with Donald Trump himself greeting them warmly.
Trump Jr. and Anderson’s public appearances come after months of speculation. They were first seen together in September 2024 at the Honor Bar in Palm Beach, where they were photographed sharing a meal. Sources close to Trump Jr. suggested that Anderson’s attendance at the Republican National Convention earlier in the year, where she sat behind Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle, was due to her friendship with Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa.
Guilfoyle's Role in Administration
Guilfoyle, for her part, has not publicly addressed the breakup. However, she did share her excitement about her new diplomatic role, announcing her acceptance of President Trump’s nomination to become the next U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Guilfoyle posted a message on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “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.” She also expressed her belief that President Trump’s victory had inspired hope, both in the United States and globally, particularly among freedom-loving allies.
The ambassadorship, which includes residence at the Jefferson House in Athens, is a significant opportunity for Guilfoyle to further cement her political career.
Guilfoyle's Long Road to Diplomatic Appointment
Trump Jr. expressed confidence that the ambassadorship would be a great fit for Guilfoyle, emphasizing her work within his father’s administration and in helping shape the political landscape during the election seasons. He stated that "no one deserves this ambassadorship more" than Guilfoyle, reflecting her longstanding commitment to Trump’s agenda.
This diplomatic appointment is a crowning achievement for Guilfoyle, who has gained a significant political profile over the years, initially making her mark as a prosecutor and later becoming a key figure in Trump's media and political circles.
