Donald Trump Jr. has apparently found a new romance, and it happens to be with socialite Bettina Anderson. After being engaged to his rumored ex-fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, since 2020, Don has reportedly moved on with Bettina. And according to a Daily Mail report, he started seeing Bettina when he was still in a relationship with Kimberly, but neither of them has confirmed the news yet.
“[Bettina] seemed totally smitten with Don – and he with her,” an insider told Daily Mail in December 2024 after the outlet published photos of the new couple holding hands in Palm Beach. “They looked totally relaxed, she wearing a white shirt tied off to show her midriff and wide leg pants, he in shorts and a T-shirt.”
Bettina, however, has been spotted spending time with Don Jr. multiple times toward the end of 2024, including at a Christmas celebration at Mar-A-Lago, according to The Independent.

How Old Is Bettina Anderson?
Bettina is currently 38 years old, according to PEOPLE, and Don is turning 47 in December 2024. This means that Bettina is about nine years younger than Don.
What Does Bettina Anderson Do for a Living?
Bettina reportedly co-founded the charity known as The Paradise Fund in Florida. The organization specializes in children’s welfare and education around the world.
The philanthropist and fashion enthusiast is also involved in the Project Paradise Film Fund as well as organizations such as The Everglades Foundation and The Society of the Four Arts. According to The Paradise Fund’s website, Bettina is a Palm Beach native and “is passionate about protecting Florida wildlife and preserving the natural treasures that make Florida such a unique and beautiful place to live.”
“Bettina loves being in the water and, as a licensed rebreather tech diver, she has a unique and special lens for witnessing the impact that over-development is having on our natural waters and marine wildlife,” the website adds.
During a 2022 interview with Fashion Week Daily, per Daily Mail, Bettina gushed, “I am so proud of one of my most recent projects I am doing with the Project Paradise Film Fund initiative. One of the greatest focuses of my life is how I can be of service to others and a be steward of the environment.”
Bettina Comes From a Wealthy Family
In that same interview, Bettina noted who her biggest inspiration was: her family.
“My mom has always been an inspiration to me,” she added. “I am also so inspired by my friends, like my two girlfriends Ivey Leidy and Hope Smith, who are creating incredible brands while raising families and being incredible wives.”
Bettina is the daughter of late bank president Harry Loy Anderson Jr., according to Us Weekly. The outlet reported that he was the youngest bank president in U.S. history when he led the Worth Avenue Nation Bank at 26 years old.
Has Bettina Ever Been Married?
Bettina has maintained a pretty low-key dating life up until she reportedly got together with Don Jr. in 2024. However, Daily Mail reported that Bettina was previously linked to billionaire William “Beau” Wrigley.
As for Don, he was married to his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, from 2005 to 2018.
