Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson are engaged after a year of dating, Page Six reported. President Donald Trump’s son and the Palm Beach socialite began dating last year.
Sources said that Don Jr. proposed to Anderson, and she accepted, according to the outlet. The couple have not made the news public yet. “It’s starting to make its way around [President Trump’s Palm Beach club] Mar-a-Lago,” a source told Page Six.

Don Jr and Anderson began dating after the US President’s son split from Kimberly Guilfoyle. “Bettina and Don have been together for a few months, and are super cute and happy together. It’s just a natural fit — everyone is happy for them!” the source told Page Six in December 2024.
“Don and Kimberly haven’t been getting along over the past year,” the source added. “They get argumentative at Mar-a-Lago in front of people. Nothing crazy, but you know when a couple is fighting. They bicker in public.”
