Donald Trump Jr. Marries Bettina Anderson in Bahamas Wedding

by

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson are starting a new chapter.

Donald Trump’s oldest son got married to a model in a private ceremony in the Bahamas on May 23rd, after they had been dating for two years, according to People magazine.

Bettina shared a sweet message alongside a black-and-white photo of her and Donald Trump Jr. holding hands, showing off their wedding rings. In a May 23rd Instagram Story, she wrote “Forever yours,” and he replied, “Forever mine @donaldjtrumpjr.”

Donald Jr.’s siblings – Eric, Tiffany, and Ivanka Trump – were among the guests at the ceremony. They came together just days after Donald Jr. and Bettina had a private wedding in West Palm Beach, Florida on May 21st, according to a marriage license obtained by the publication.

Weeks before their nuptials, Bettina held an “enchanted garden”-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago.

She shared on Instagram on April 15th that she was still feeling touched by how wonderful Sunday had been. Being with so many women she loves and respects, and who support her, filled her with immense gratitude.

The bride, 39, expressed her gratitude to everyone who helped with her wedding, saying they created a beautiful and loving day that she’ll always remember. She described herself as still feeling overjoyed!

She was thrilled about her upcoming wedding and excitedly shared, “@donaldjtrumpjr I can’t wait to marry you!”

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina publicly confirmed their relationship in December 2024, celebrating Bettina’s birthday in Palm Beach, Florida. They were then seen together at events surrounding President Trump’s inauguration a month later, openly displaying their affection.

Almost a year later, the politician announced his son was engaged to Bettina at a White House holiday party on December 15th. His son has five children with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump: Kai, 19, Donald III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11.

At the time, in a video shared to X, Donald Jr. shared insight into his and Bettina’s next step. 

Okay, so, I was completely floored when he said that! Like, usually we’re the ones yelling and going wild, but he was actually…sweet? It was so unexpected! He just wished everyone an amazing holiday season, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, and honestly, it just made me love him even more. I was speechless, seriously! It was such a perfect moment.

He added, “And to thank Bettina for that one word, ‘yes.’”

Donald Trump Jr., who had previously been engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle before they ended their relationship in 2024, celebrated his current engagement as a great way to finish the year, then introduced his fiancée to speak.

“This weekend has been absolutely incredible,” Bettina shared, beaming. “I’m marrying the man I love, and I feel so incredibly lucky.”
