Hold onto your MAGA hats, folks—Donald Trump Jr. has just popped the question to Bettina Anderson, and she said yes!
According to the Daily Mail, at a festive Christmas reception at the White House on Monday night, President Donald Trump announced the engagement of his eldest son to Anderson, a moment that caps a whirlwind romance starting in spring 2024.
Their story kicked off over a year ago, with whispers of romance blooming in Palm Beach as early as spring 2024.
By September of that year, exclusive photos surfaced of the couple sharing a tender moment at a local restaurant, even as Trump Jr. hadn’t officially parted ways with former girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle.
A source noted their relationship was hardly a secret in Palm Beach circles, though it raised eyebrows given the timing. Fast forward to early December 2024, and the pair was spotted on a cozy night out, further fueling speculation about their future together.
The couple didn’t shy away from the spotlight in 2025, attending major events like President Trump’s Super Bowl trip in New Orleans and his address to Congress in March.
Speculation about wedding bells intensified when Anderson dazzled in a teal gown at an official dinner honoring Saudi Arabia, mingling with Trump family members like Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos.
With First Lady Melania Trump also in attendance at the dinner, it’s clear Anderson has swiftly found her place among the Trump inner circle—no small feat in a family that values loyalty above all.
Then came the big moment at the White House Christmas event, where Trump Jr. admitted to a bit of nerves before getting down on one knee, unsure of Anderson’s answer.
“When you go down there, it’s like, you’re gonna go, and you’re trying to ask, and you’re not sure what the answer’s gonna be. It’s always a little bit rough,” Trump Jr. confessed, before adding with relief, “But she said yes, which is a big win for the end of the year.”
Anderson, radiant in a red strapless gown, took the stage to thank President Trump and the First Lady for the stunning holiday decor, calling the engagement weekend the most unforgettable of her life.
Coming from a prominent Palm Beach banking family, Anderson is no stranger to elite circles, being the daughter of the late H. Loy Anderson Jr., a respected financier, and Inger, a former Swedish model.
Raised in wealth alongside her twin sister Kristina and four other siblings, Anderson attended top-tier private schools, a background that aligns with the Trump family’s own high-society orbit—though let’s hope she’s ready for the political spotlight, which burns hotter than any Palm Beach sun.
The crowd’s cheers and President Trump’s succinct “good luck” to Anderson sealed the night, a fitting cap to a story that blends personal joy with public spectacle, proving once again that in Trump's world, family and politics are never far apart.
