SORRY KIMBERLY

Don Jr. Parades New Girlfriend at Mar-a-Lago Family Christmas Dinner

The first son-in-waiting has had a tumultuous love life in 2024.

Donald Trump Jr. showed off his new girlfriend, socialite Bettina Anderson, at the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago Christmas dinner.

Photos shared by the X account @patriottakes show the couple dining alongside the president-elect, first lady-in-waiting Melania, and their son Barron at the private Palm Beach club. While Anderson appeared festive in a red dress, Trump Jr.‘s ex-fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was nowhere to be seen.

Reports of Guilfoyle and Trump Jr.‘s split emerged as the oldest of the president-elect’s children brought his new relationship with Anderson into the public eye. Trump meanwhile, has named Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host, his ambassador to Greece—seemingly removing her from the picture entirely.

While the new couple attended the Trump Christmas Day celebration, Page Six reported that Trump Jr. and Anderson, along with first buddy Elon Musk and Eric and Lara Trump, were no-shows for the family’s Christmas Eve gathering at Mar-a-Lago.

Ivanka Trump, however, did put in an appearance with husband Jared Kushner and their three children—highlighting the holiday event in an Instagram post.

Tickets to the Christmas Eve celebration reportedly cost club members $350 a seat, but those who shelled out for it had the chance to hear the president-elect’s personal playlist and see him dance, Page Six reported.

DJ Trump “played a serious set and was very into the music,” an unnamed insider source told the outlet. They said the tracks included the theme from Phantom of the Opera and Elvis Presley’s holiday hit “If Every Day Was Like Christmas.”

Trump ended the night with his signature song, the Village People’s classic “YMCA,” according to the source. “Some of the crowd jumped up and started doing ‘the Trump dance,“ with Trump himself joining in, they reported.

“The ballroom was filled, but not overcrowded, because the size of these holiday events is being limited,” the source noted.

While Trump didn’t make a toast at the event, the insider said that “Ivanka was observed raising her glass and saying something with a smile to her father and Melania.”
