Donald Trump Jr. Is Thrilled About Dad Sending His Fiancée to Greece

OUT OF SIGHT

Donald Trump Jr. is apparently thrilled that his dad found a way for him to avoid awkward run-ins with his fiancée as rumours of a break-up swirl. After Trump Sr. announced Tuesday that he was nominating Kimberly Guilfoyle to serve as his ambassador to Greece—just hours after the Daily Mail published pictures of Don Jr. holding hands with another woman—the president-elect’s eldest son took to the social media platform X to congratulate her. “I am so proud of Kimberly,” Trump Jr. wrote. “She loves America and she always has wanted to serve the country as an Ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First.” Guilfoyle began dating Don Jr. in 2018 after he separated from his ex-wife Vanessa, with whom he has five children. Neither Guilfoyle nor Don Jr. have said anything publicly about a possible split, but a Page Six report on Tuesday claimed they’ve broken up and that Don Jr. is moving on with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson—the woman with whom he’s been photographed recently. Nepotism concerns notwithstanding, shipping someone overseas to live in a taxpayer-funded villa is an admittedly elegant solution for getting a potential ex out of sight and out of mind. The Greek ambassador’s residence even has a pool.
