Donald Trump Jr.'s romantic life takes center stage as details emerge about his relationship with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
According to Daily Mail, the 46-year-old son of President-elect Donald Trump had been critical of former fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle's fashion choices before moving on with his new flame.
Sources close to the Trump family revealed that Don Jr. had been seeing Anderson, 38, for approximately six months, even taking her on an Alaskan trip while still engaged to Guilfoyle.
The relationship became public after Guilfoyle was reportedly blindsided by photos showing her fiancé getting cozy with Anderson.
An insider disclosed to People magazine that Don Jr. had long-standing issues with Guilfoyle's formal attire. The source shared his complaints about her professional appearance and preference for structured dresses and high heels:
Don Jr. has been telling people for months that Kim is so uptight and always dresses so professionally in these kinds of dresses and high heels, and never looks relaxed or casual.
The contrast between Guilfoyle's and Anderson's styles has become a talking point in Trump circles. Anderson, who maintains an Instagram following of 45,000, presents herself as fashion-forward and maintains close relationships with luxury brands.
The 38-year-old Anderson, a Columbia University graduate, has carved out her own niche in the fashion world through collaborations with high-end retailers like Moda Operandi. Her social media presence reflects a lighter, more casual approach to style.
Sources suggest that Don Jr. sees Anderson as potentially filling a role similar to that of his stepmother, Melania, drawing parallels to his father's relationship history.
This comparison gains significance given that Donald Trump Sr. met Melania while still married to his second wife, Marla Maples.
Meanwhile, Guilfoyle has maintained her public persona, recently accepting a nomination as U.S. ambassador to Greece from her former future father-in-law. She has yet to publicly address the end of her engagement to Don Jr.
The relationship dynamics continue to evolve as both parties move forward with their separate lives. Anderson, who describes herself humorously in her Instagram bio as "just your typical stay at home mom... only I don't do household chores... or have a husband... or have kids," has seamlessly integrated into Palm Beach's social scene.
Guilfoyle's transformation from her days as a liberal prosecutor to her current conservative image has been widely documented. Her style evolution, marked by bold color choices and form-fitting attire, has become a defining aspect of her public persona.
The engagement's end marks a significant shift in Trump family dynamics, with Don Jr. and Anderson's relationship becoming increasingly public while Guilfoyle focuses on her potential diplomatic career.
