Kimberly Guilfoyle extended birthday wishes to her former fiancé, Donald Trump Jr., as he showcased his new relationship with Bettina Anderson during his father’s New Year’s Eve celebration.
Guilfoyle, aged 55, posted a heartfelt message on social media for the son of the president-elect, with whom she had a multi-year relationship.
The news personality, who was previously married to California Governor Gavin Newsom, shared a collage of images depicting her and Don Jr. smiling together, highlighting their amicable separation.
The couple began their relationship in 2018 following Don Jr.’s divorce from his ex-wife, Vanessa, and they became engaged in 2022.
Since their breakup, Guilfoyle has emerged as a significant figure within the circle of the soon-to-be president, recently being appointed as Trump’s ambassador to Greece.
However, complications arose when Don Jr. was photographed kissing Anderson during a romantic dinner in Palm Beach approximately three months ago, prior to his public announcement of the split with Guilfoyle.
Reports indicate that Guilfoyle felt ‘blindsided’ by the images of Don Jr. with the glamorous model.
Friends of the former prosecutor informed DailyMail.com that she was entirely unprepared for the revelation regarding Anderson and her then-fiancé.
According to an insider, Kimberly may have been unaware of Bettina’s existence or chose to remain oblivious.
It is likely she heard rumors regarding Don Jr.’s infidelity. Although she is astute, it is not uncommon to deceive oneself when deeply invested in a relationship and believing in the other person’s commitment.
Speculation about their relationship grew stronger following a photograph of them holding hands during an outing in Palm Springs last December.
Shortly thereafter, he publicly commented on his separation from Guilfoyle in a statement to Page Six, expressing, ‘Kimberly and I will always care for one another and maintain a unique bond.’ He added, ‘I take immense pride in her and the significant role she will continue to fulfill as the US ambassador to Greece.’
Don Jr. marked his 47th birthday at his father’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago, where he introduced his new socialite girlfriend just weeks after announcing the conclusion of his engagement to Guilfoyle.
The couple confidently walked the red carpet at the renowned Florida venue, beaming with joy. Introducing Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump’s latest selection for ambassador to Greece.
Donald Trump Jr. and Anderson, 38, celebrated the New Year with other notable figures from Trump’s circle, including ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Anderson has faced criticism as a ‘social climber’ and a party girl in Florida. However, she seemed to address her detractors subtly by referencing a biblical verse in a late December social media post. The passage from Exodus reads, ‘So let them lie.
Let them manipulate. Let them talk. You just be still, because when God is on your side, who can stand against you?’ Friends of the president-elect’s eldest son have voiced concerns that his new romantic partner may not align closely enough with ‘MAGA’ ideals, as suggested by her social media activity and political views.
For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she posted a photo of herself wearing a mask next to a sign that stated, ‘Only you can stop the spread of ignorance.’
Some critics have even labeled her a potential ‘liability’ for Trump’s administration, alleging that she is leveraging her relationship with Don Jr. for personal gain.
