Kimberly Guilfoyle was taken by surprise upon seeing photographs of Donald Trump Jr. enjoying a private lunch with a Palm Beach socialite, despite having previously ignored rumors regarding her fiancé’s alleged infidelities, sources informed DailyMail.com.
The former Fox News host, aged 55, and the son of the former president have been in a relationship since 2018, following Trump Jr.’s divorce from his first wife, Vanessa, and they announced their engagement in 2022.
Guilfoyle, a glamorous brunette and the former spouse of California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, has become a significant figure within Trump’s inner circle and campaign, frequently accompanying her partner at GOP and campaign events.
Recently, friends revealed to DailyMail.com that Guilfoyle was caught off guard by reports of Trump Jr., aged 46, being affectionate with heiress Bettina Anderson, aged 37, after images of their intimate lunch in Palm Beach, Florida, surfaced over the weekend.
An insider commented, “Kimberly either was unaware of Bettina or chose not to acknowledge it. Did she hear rumors about Don Jr. being involved with someone else? Likely.” Friends of Kimberly Guilfoyle indicated to DailyMail.com that she may have “heard whispers” regarding her fiancé’s alleged unfaithfulness but had “turned a blind eye.”
An exclusive photo obtained by DailyMail.com depicts Trump Jr. brunching with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson in mid-August, with Guilfoyle absent from the scene.
Since her relationship with Trump Jr. began, Guilfoyle has risen to prominence within the Trump campaign, often delivering speeches at his rallies and public appearances.
Up until now, the couple appeared to be in a loving relationship, with Trump Jr. expressing his affection for their six-year anniversary in an Instagram post four months ago.
He wrote, “Happy 6 year anniversary @kimberlyguilfoyle, thank you for always being there despite the negativity we face. I love you.”
Guilfoyle replied, “You are my best friend and my soulmate. Here’s to us and our future.”The private outing occurred just a few months after Don Jr. expressed his admiration for fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle in an Instagram tribute marking their six-year anniversary as a couple in May.
Don Jr. and Guilfoyle, aged 55, reside in a $15.5 million waterfront estate located in a highly secure community in Jupiter, situated 19 miles north of Palm Beach. Earlier this year, they were photographed with his five young children and her son Ronan (far left) during an Easter celebration.
The couple purchased this expansive property, which features a large triple-engine boat docked at the front, for $9.7 million in April 2021, just four months after their engagement.
This Spanish-style residence boasts six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms and frequently hosts the couple’s reportedly extravagant gatherings.
While neither Guilfoyle nor Don Jr. has publicly addressed the revelations from DailyMail.com, they were seen together at an event in Kentucky on Saturday, presenting a united front.
In the wake of a second assassination attempt on former President Trump on Sunday, both took to Instagram, with Guilfoyle sharing a supportive message from Don Jr. directed at his father.
The original post featured a screenshot of Trump’s statement released following the near-attack, accompanied by the caption, “Again folks!”
