Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson Are Engaged
Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson are starting a new chapter.
The eldest son of President Donald Trump married the model in a private ceremony in the Bahamas May 23 after two years of dating, according to People.
"Forever yours," Bettina wrote over a black-and-white photo of the pair holding hands with their wedding bands on display in a May 23 Instagram Stories post. "Forever mine @donaldjtrumpjr."
Among the guests were Donald Jr.’s siblings Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and Ivanka Trump, who gathered for the ceremony days after Donald Jr. and Bettina privately wed in West Palm Beach, Florida May 21, per a marriage license obtained by the outlet.
Weeks before their nuptials, Bettina held an “enchanted garden”-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago.
“Still soaking in how beautiful and special Sunday was,” she wrote on Instagram April 15. “To be surrounded by so many women I love and admire, and feel so grateful to have in my corner, meant more than I can say.”
The 39-year-old also thanked her wedding posse “for creating such a thoughtful, elegant, and love-filled day…I’m still floating!”
And she couldn’t help but express excitement for her impending wedding day. As she added, “@donaldjtrumpjr I cannot wait to marry you!"
Donald Jr. and Bettina went public with their relationship in December 2024 while celebrating her birthday together in Palm Beach, Forida. One month later, the couple put their love on display while attending events for President Trump’s inauguration.
Nearly a year later, the politician announced that his son—dad to Kai Trump, 19, Donald Trump III, 17, Tristan Trump, 14, Spencer Trump, 13, and Chloe Trump, 11, with ex-wife Vanessa Trump—was engaged to Bettina during a holiday party held at the White House Dec. 15.

At the time, in a video shared to X, Donald Jr. shared insight into his and Bettina’s next step.
“It’s not often that I’m at a loss for words, 'cause we usually do the ranting and raving really well,” the 48-year-old told the crowd. “But this is a little different. But I just want to wish you guys an incredible holiday season, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.”
He added, “And to thank Bettina for that one word, ‘yes.’”
Donald Jr.—who was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle before their 2024 breakup—also noted that his engagement is a “big win for the end of the year,” before passing the mic to his then-bride-to-be.
“This has really been the most unforgettable weekend of my life,” Bettina said. “And I get to marry the love of my life. And I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”
