Kimberly Guilfoyle Reacts as Donald Trump Jr. Announces Engagement
Kimberly Guilfoyle has publicly and calmly addressed the engagement of her former fiancé, Donald Trump Jr., to socialite Bettina Anderson. In a brief statement to The New York Times, she offered a polite response, wishing him well and expressing her happiness for the couple. This marks her first public comments since the engagement was announced.
The engagement was revealed by former President Donald Trump in December 2025. Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. had been engaged since New Year’s Day 2022 but called off their relationship in 2024. Their separation was reported to be amicable at the time.
Despite her supportive public words, sources indicate the situation has been personally complex for Guilfoyle. Insiders suggest that while she remains friendly with Trump Jr., she has privately expressed uncertainty about his new relationship.
Some reports claim she has questioned if Anderson is a suitable long-term partner for him and has wondered about the relationship’s durability.
Guilfoyle continues to maintain a connection with the wider Trump family and is reportedly still well-regarded within their circle. Trump Jr. has been seen with Anderson since last year, and his family is said to approve of the match.
Her brief, respectful public remarks appear to be a deliberate choice. They allow her to acknowledge the news gracefully while keeping any more personal sentiments private.
The situation highlights Guilfoyle’s careful navigation of her public persona following a high-profile breakup within a prominent political family.
