Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Bettina Anderson officially tied the knot in a lavish private ceremony in the Bahamas.
“Forever yours, forever mine,” Anderson wrote on her Instagram Story on Saturday, May 23, confirming that the two had said “I think so.” The socialite shared a professional black and white photo that only shows the newlyweds’ hands and wedding rings.
Trump Jr. and Anderson first became romantically involved in late 2024. In December of the same year, a source revealed to Us Weekly that the two began dating after his separation from fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle. (Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle announced their engagement in January 2022, a year after his proposal, and similarly chose to keep their breakup quiet for several months.)
Sources said Trump Jr. was the one who said goodbye to Guilfoyle.
“The breakup was amicable and so is their relationship today,” a source told Us at the time. “They just had different goals.”
Regarding his then-new romance with Anderson, the source said, “He really likes her and has a lot of respect for her,” adding that Trump Jr. was “obsessed” with the socialite and thought she was “very smart.”
Later that month, another source revealed why Trump Jr. and Anderson’s relationship was “different” than their previous partnership.
“As far as his relationship with Bettina, it’s all about them,” a source told Barron’s in December 2024. “He wants a partner. She doesn’t need anything from him, she just wants to be with him.”
In July 2025, a source revealed how serious the relationship between Trump Jr. and Anderson had become.
“She wants to have children someday and knows what a good father he is,” a source told Us at the time. “If he asked her to marry him, she would say yes 100 percent and his friends think it will happen sooner or later.”
Five months later, Trump Jr. and Anderson announced their engagement during an event at the White House in December 2025. In a video on social media, he thanked her for “that one word, yes,” as the two addressed attendees at a holiday party.
“She said yes, so that’s a big win for the end of the year,” Trump Jr. said.
Indeed, there are some celebrities who have a “no expense spared” mentality when it comes to weddings. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez opted for a lavish gala in Italy, but even before they walked down the aisle, things were looking pretty expensive. It was widely reported that the wedding cost $50,000 per person (…)
Anderson added: “It was truly the most unforgettable weekend of my life and I got to marry the love of my life. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”
Later that month, a source said that preparations for the couple’s wedding have already begun.
“Bettina is thrilled to be engaged to Don and they have already started planning their wedding,” a source said. “She wanted this from the beginning and knew he was her person. She loves that he has made her a part of her children’s lives and is a very good father.”
This will be Trump Jr.’s second marriage, having married Vanessa Trump in 2005. The couple, who divorced in 2018, have five children: daughter Kai, sons Donnie, Tristan, Spencer, and daughter Chloe. After her relationship with Trump Jr. ended, Vanessa began dating Tiger Woods.
