Sources closer to Donald Trump Jr. and fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle confirm they have split days after his President-elect father nominated Guilfoyle to serve as ambassador to Greece and on the heels Jr. getting cozy with a Florida socialite.
The Trumps remain “enamored” with the 55-year-old former Fox News host, the ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and businessman Eric Villency, an insider told People.
“It’s a friendly split,” the source said of the exes’ “very long engagement.” The pair got engaged in 2020 but didn’t make the news public until early 2022.
Though the source praised the former prosecutor as “very intelligent, very smart, very loyal,” they said Guilfoyle is “very direct, very matter of fact” and, as a result, “not easy to deal with.”
The insider added that Guilfoyle remains on good terms with her would-be father-in-law, as she knew the President-elect before she knew his son.
“Even before she and Don were together, she was close with the family,” said the insider. “She knew Donald before she knew Don Jr., and that connection is strong. So nothing has changed.”
Don Jr., 46, has recently been seen holding hands with Bettina Anderson, who the source says “would impress” Trump senior.
“Don Jr. has always wanted to look good in his father’s eyes,” said the insider. “Someone like Bettina, who is and has been a model, and is in Waspy circles of Palm Beach is something that would impress him.”
People reported earlier this week that the pair’s been seeing one another for “about six months,” while Don Jr. “was still very much with Kim.” The source who shared that said the dad of five “introduced [Anderson] around as his girlfriend” during that time.
