Bettina Trump marked Donald Trump Jr.’s first Father’s Day as a married couple with an Instagram Stories tribute praising the way he loves, protects, and provides for his five children.
Bettina Trump didn’t wait for a second married Father’s Day.
On Sunday. June 21. she shared a Father’s Day tribute through her Instagram Stories. writing a message to her husband. Donald Trump Jr. alongside a photo of him posting with his five children. “Happy Father’s Day to the most incredible dad,” she wrote. “Your love for your kids is real. constant. and seen in everything you do… how hard you work for them. how you protect them. how much you provide. and how intentionally you create memories and experiences they’ll have for the rest of their lives.”.
The post arrives as Donald Trump Jr. celebrates his first Father’s Day as a married man. Bettina is his new wife after they became husband and wife in what court documents later described as a private Florida wedding on May 21, followed by a private Bahamas ceremony where they walked down the aisle.
Trump Jr. is father to five children: Kai, 19; Donald Trump III, 17; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 12. He shares those children with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, and the pair wed in 2005 before divorcing in 2018.
Their blended family is central to Bettina’s message. She added. “No one who truly knows you could ever question your heart as a father.” She continued: “Watching the way you love your children is one of the things I admire most about you. and I can’t wait to make even more memories together and add to this beautiful family.”.
She closed with a simple sign-off: “We love you so much @donaldtrumpjr.” After that, Bettina shared additional photos featuring Don Jr. with his children, including an image with his father in front of Marine Force One and another at Camp David.
The timeline around the relationship leading to this Father’s Day is also well-documented. Donald Trump Jr. had moved on with fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle, getting engaged in January 2022 before calling things off one year later. Bettina, for her part, was later linked to him romantically in late 2024.
That late-2024 romance and the wedding details have already drawn public attention beyond the couple’s own posts. Jimmy Kimmel. 58. roasted Donald Trump for skipping his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. saying DJTJ and his new bride Bettina were married on Saturday on a private island in the Bahamas with about 40 guests—none of whom were the president. Kimmel added that Donald Trump claimed he was too busy with the war in Iran to attend. even as he attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. after which instant backlash followed the Knicks’ loss.
In a separate account of the relationship at the time. an insider told Us Weekly that when it comes to Bettina and Donald Trump Jr. “it’s just about them. ” adding that he “wants a partner. ” that Bettina “doesn’t need anything from him. ” and that she “just wants to be with him.” The insider also said Donald Trump Jr. “likes her a lot. ” has “a lot of respect for her. ” is “smitten” with the socialite. and thinks she is “very smart.”.
The court documents described the May 21 Florida ceremony as having been officiated by real estate attorney Brad McPherson, with the legal document signed off by a deputy clerk.
By Sunday night’s Instagram Stories tribute, the focus was pointed and personal: a new bride using her first Father’s Day as a married couple to spotlight the father her husband is—right in the middle of the photos where his five children are always the center.
