Don Jr. and Bettina Anderson Announce Wedding Date — Skipping the White House Bash

Donald Trump Jr. and Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson are preparing to tie the knot over Memorial Day weekend in a highly private celebration. The couple, who began dating in 2024 after Trump Jr.’s engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle ended, plan to exchange vows on a private island in the Bahamas, focusing on family and close friends rather than a high-profile White House event.

According to Page Six, the wedding will include a small circle of guests, reflecting the couple’s desire for an intimate setting. The engagement was reported after Trump Jr. proposed at Camp David in December 2025, coinciding with Anderson’s birthday. Her eight-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, designed by Dallas jeweler Sue Gragg, may surpass the value of his previous ring.

Anderson, 39, daughter of philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson, has been active in Palm Beach social circles and co-founded The Paradise Fund, supporting humanitarian aid for children. Early public appearances of the couple, including Palm Beach outings and birthday celebrations in 2024, demonstrated growing family ties.

Weeks before the wedding, Anderson hosted a lavish bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago, attended by members of the Trump family. Ivanka Trump shared images from the event, calling it a “joyous moment.” Trump Jr. expressed his excitement, telling guests, “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with Bettina. She is smart, loving and caring.”

Despite months of engagement speculation and carefully managed appearances, the couple remains committed to maintaining privacy as they begin this next chapter together.
