Guilfoyle has largely remained silent about Donald Trump Jr.’s engagement to Bettina Anderson. However, a source close to Kimberly was quoted as saying by People magazine, “Kimberly knows Don well, and they’re still great friends, but she has major concerns when it comes to his relationship with Bettina.”
Kimberly Guilfoyle is currently a US ambassador to Greece. Per the source quoted by People, Kimberly Guilfoyle had a tough time dealing with the news. “The engagement was difficult for Kimberly to see, and she felt it only added to her doubts about the relationship. She only wants the best for Don, but she isn’t convinced Bettina is well-suited for Don or that what they have is the real deal. Kimberly has a hard time seeing the headlines about their relationship because she doesn’t believe it’s built to last,” the source said.
Donald Trump Jr. was also briefly married to Vanessa Trump. The marriage ended in 2018, and they have five kids together. They are parents to 18-year-old Kai, Donald III, who is 16, Tristan, 14, 13-year-old Spencer, and Chloe, 11. Vanessa is reportedly said to be dating golfer Tiger Woods.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. announced his engagement to Bettina Anderson in an awkward session at a Christmas Reception hosted by Donald Trump. A dazed Donald Trump Jr. said during the announcement, “I’m not usually at a loss for words, because I’m usually doing the ranting and raving really well.”
