Donald Trump Jr. is now engaged to socialite Bettina Anderson, after reportedly dating her in 2024 and taking a major step forward with a proposal in December 2025. Here are five key facts about Bettina—her age, her charity work in Florida, her wealthy family
Donald Trump Jr.’s love life has taken a sharp turn from his long-term engagement with Kimberly Guilfoyle. In 2024. he reportedly began seeing socialite Bettina Anderson—months before the relationship became public—and by December 2025. it had reached the kind of milestone that changes everything: a proposal.
The couple continued to step out together through 2024 and into 2025. Since then, Bettina has celebrated a bridal shower with members of the Trump family. New reports also say Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina are preparing to wed during a private ceremony in the Bahamas over Memorial Day weekend 2026. Donald Trump, meanwhile, has publicly said he is unsure whether he will attend.
Before the wedding chatter could fully settle in, the timeline had already done the damage—especially for Kimberly. Daily Mail and People reported that Donald Trump Jr. had been dating Bettina for months before their relationship became public. and that he and Kimberly never officially announced their split.
Below are five facts about Bettina Anderson, now Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée.
Bettina Anderson is reportedly around 39 years old, making her about eight years younger than Donald Trump Jr., who is 48 as of 2026.
She has built her public profile around charity work in Florida. Bettina reportedly co-founded The Paradise Fund in Florida, a charity focused on children’s welfare and education around the world. She’s also involved with the Project Paradise Film Fund. along with organizations including The Everglades Foundation and The Society of the Four Arts.
The Paradise Fund’s website describes Bettina as a Palm Beach native. and says she is “passionate about protecting Florida wildlife and preserving the natural treasures that make Florida such a unique and beautiful place to live.” The site adds that she “loves being in the water. ” and that as a licensed rebreather tech diver. she has “a unique and special lens for witnessing the impact that over-development is having on our natural waters and marine wildlife.”.
In a 2022 interview with Fashion Week Daily, per Daily Mail, Bettina spoke about the service side of her work. “I am so proud of one of my most recent projects I am doing with the Project Paradise Film Fund initiative. One of the greatest focuses of my life is how I can be of service to others and a be steward of the environment.”.
Bettina also comes from a wealthy family. Us Weekly reported that she is the daughter of late bank president Harry Loy Anderson Jr., who the outlet said was the youngest bank president in U.S. history when he led Worth Avenue Nation Bank at 26 years old.
Her dating history, at least publicly, has stayed relatively low-key until she reportedly got together with Donald Trump Jr. in 2024. Daily Mail reported that Bettina was previously linked to billionaire William “Beau” Wrigley.
And on Don Jr.’s side, his relationship status before this engagement is part of the story’s tension. He was married to his ex-wife Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018. and the couple shares five children: Kai Trump. Donald John Trump III. Tristan Milos Trump. Spencer Frederick Trump. and Chloe Sophia Trump.
The romance itself has a clear, widely reported rhythm: Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina were spotted locking lips over the summer of 2024. with Daily Mail stating that at the time he and Kimberly were still together. The outlet reported that Kimberly was “blindsided” by Don’s new romance. After about a year of dating, Don and Bettina got engaged in December 2025.
Once this engagement became real, the next chapters moved quickly. Bettina’s bridal shower with members of the Trump family followed. and reports now point to a Bahamas wedding over Memorial Day weekend 2026—expected to be small. with close friends and family. while Donald Trump says he’s unsure whether he will attend.

So he proposes like it’s just another fundraiser? Wild.
Idk if I believe any of this. Like half of these sites are just rumors. Private ceremony in the Bahamas over Memorial Day weekend?? Convenient timing.
Wait I thought Trump Jr was still with Kimberly like… not even announced anything but they were basically broken up? So does that mean Bettina knew him from 2024 and just waited? Also “around 39”?? The age math is weird cuz people round everything.
The charity thing in Florida is probably the real reason everyone’s talking. Like Paradise Fund for kids and education, sure, but it’s all connected to wealthy circles anyway. And Donald Sr not sure if he’ll attend? Sounds messy like he’s mad about the Kimberly part but nobody officially said anything so who knows.
