Who is Bettina Anderson? Philanthropist engaged to Donald Trump Jr

The announcement was made on Monday during a White House holiday gathering, with videos later shared on X by conservative influencer Laura Loomer.

Addressing guests at the event, the 47-year-old said he was momentarily speechless before thanking Anderson for accepting his proposal. “I want to thank Bettina for that one word: ‘Yes,’” he said.

Anderson, 39, described the proposal as an emotional milestone. “This has been the most unforgettable weekend. I get to marry the love of my life, and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world,” she said.

Who is Bettina Anderson?

Bettina Anderson is the daughter of philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson and is a prominent figure in Palm Beach’s social and charitable circles.

She is actively involved with the Hope for Depression Research Foundation, founded by Audrey Gruss, contributes to Florida-based conservation initiative Project Paradise, and volunteers with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County.

The couple have reportedly been together for about a year and were seen attending a wedding in Udaipur last month. There has also been speculation about Anderson seeking a position on the president’s committee on the arts and humanities.

Trump Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump for 12 years before their divorce in 2018. The former couple share five children.

Following the divorce, he began dating former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2018, with the pair getting engaged in 2020. Their relationship ended in late 2024, according to People magazine.

Trump Jr. and Anderson were first photographed together in August 2024 and have since made several public appearances, including at Trump family events at Mar-a-Lago and the president’s inauguration earlier this year.
