Who is Bettina Anderson?
Anderson, a 37-year-old socialite, has roots in Palm Beach high society. Her father, Harry Loy Anderson Jr., was a banker, while her mother, Inger, was a muse to famed photographer Slim Aarons. Anderson’s background isn’t politically motivated—her one known GOP donation came in 2022, a modest $2,800 to Republican Maria Salazar.
Socialite with a Flair for Glamour
Anderson’s Instagram bio humorously reads, “I’m just your typical stay-at-home mom… only I don’t do household chores… or have a husband… or have kids.” Known for her bold fashion choices and witty social media presence, Anderson has captured the attention of many beyond Palm Beach.
Anderson’s Relationship with Donald Trump Jr.
The buzz surrounding Anderson intensified when she was spotted sitting directly behind Don Jr. and Guilfoyle at the RNC, but this wasn’t her first interaction with the Trump family.
Rumours of a Cozy Brunch
Recently, a report from the Daily Mail claimed that Anderson and Don Jr. were seen looking particularly cosy during a brunch at the Honor Bar in Palm Beach. Witnesses reportedly saw the pair “locking lips,” causing speculation to swirl about the state of Don Jr.’s relationship with Guilfoyle.
Attending Events with the Trump Family
Not only was Anderson seen at the RNC, but she was also present at other Trump family gatherings, including a party in Jupiter, Florida. Interestingly, Guilfoyle was reportedly absent from that event. Does this suggest a closer connection between Anderson and Don Jr. than initially thought?
The Scene at the Republican National Convention
The Republican National Convention is always a grand spectacle, but this year, it grabbed more attention than usual because of Anderson’s appearance.
An “open” seat?
Sources close to the event claim that Anderson’s seat behind Don Jr. and Guilfoyle wasn’t assigned but was simply an “open” seat. While this might seem innocent enough, her placement so close to the Trump couple sparked curiosity.
Glamorous Appearances
Anderson was spotted applauding at the GOP event in a glamorous red outfit, which instantly set her apart. Her style and confident demeanour made her an object of fascination among attendees. Not, and we hear the two are close friends. Sources said she attended with Vanessa.

Are Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle on the Rocks?

Standing Strong Despite the Rumors
Despite the rumours of tension, sources close to the couple insist that Don Jr. and Guilfoyle are still strong. Some have suggested that the brunch photos with Anderson were blown out of proportion, being part of an attempt to discredit Don Jr. during a politically sensitive time.
The Trump Family’s Opinion on Kimberly Guilfoyle
The dynamics within the Trump family are always a hot topic, especially for their opinions on each other’s partners.
Does the family like Guilfoyle?

However, other insiders dismiss these rumours, stating that former President Trump has always spoken positively of Guilfoyle.
