Kimberly Guilfoyle celebrated Donald Trump Jr.’s 47th birthday in a surprising way. The ex-fiancés may have ended their relationship, but it seems there’s no bad blood between them.
Birthday Tribute despite Breakup
Trump Jr. turned 47 on Tuesday, December 31. Guilfoyle, 55, marked the occasion by sharing several photos on Instagram. Her posts hinted that their recent breakup was anything but messy. While Guilfoyle celebrated him online, Trump Jr. spent his big day with his new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson.
Quiet End to Engagement
The news of Trump Jr.’s split from Guilfoyle made headlines in December 2024. According to the source, the former couple quietly ended their engagement months ago. Their breakup came to light after Trump Jr. was seen holding hands with Anderson in Palm Beach that same month.
A source spilled the details, saying, “Don and Kimberly broke up before the election. They started dividing their assets around the end of September.” The insider added that the pair never talked about their split publicly. “They didn’t want to take attention away from other important issues,” the source explained.
A Timeline of their Romance
Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle’s romance began in 2018 after his divorce from Vanessa Trump. Trump Jr. and Vanessa share five children: Kai, 17, Donald III, 15, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10. Guilfoyle, on the other hand, was married to California Governor Gavin Newsom from 2001 to 2006. She later tied the knot with Eric Villency in 2006, with whom she shares an 18-year-old son, Ronan. Her marriage to Villency ended in 2009.
Trump Jr. proposed to Guilfoyle in 2020. However, the couple kept their engagement under wraps until 2022. Their big reveal came when Guilfoyle attended Tiffany Trump’s wedding alongside Trump Jr. Despite their chemistry, things eventually fizzled out. According to the insider, it was Trump Jr. who initiated the breakup. “They had different goals,” the source shared, emphasizing that the split was amicable.
Trump Jr.’s Praise for Guilfoyle
Even after the breakup, Trump Jr. had nothing but praise for Guilfoyle. On December 13, he released a statement addressing their split. “Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other,” he said. “We will always share a special bond.” He also expressed his pride in Guilfoyle, who is set to become the U.S. ambassador to Greece. “She’s been an undefeated prosecutor, a national TV star, and a MAGA leader. The people of Greece are getting an absolute star,” he added.
New Beginnings with Bettina Anderson
While Guilfoyle is preparing for her new role in Greece, Trump Jr. is enjoying his fresh start with Anderson. The same insider described the relationship as “new and exciting.” “He’s smitten with Bettina,” the source revealed. “He respects her a lot and really likes her.”
For Trump Jr., Anderson brings something different to the table. “It’s a fresh dynamic,” the insider noted, hinting that this romance is unlike his past relationships.
A Friendship that Lasts
Guilfoyle’s Instagram posts on Trump Jr.’s birthday sparked curiosity among fans. Her photos suggested no hard feelings and perhaps even a lingering friendship. While their romantic chapter has closed, it’s clear they’ve both moved on with mutual respect.
Looking ahead
This new phase in their lives shows how exes can part ways gracefully. Trump Jr. is diving headfirst into his budding romance with Anderson, while Guilfoyle is ready to shine on the international stage. For both, the future looks bright and full of promise.
