Don Jr and girlfriend Bettina Anderson can’t keep the PDA in check on tarmac before Trump arrives
TETERBORO, NEW JERSEY: Donald Trump Jr seems to be flying high with his girlfriend Bettina Anderson.
The 47-year-old and the 38-year-old couldn’t keep their hands off each other on Sunday, July 13, as they were spotted getting cozy on an airfield tarmac in Teterboro, New Jersey.
Dressed in crisp, matching white button-down shirts, the two looked completely locked in, kissing, holding hands, and draping their arms around each other without a care in the world.
Their PDA moment came as they waited to head to the FIFA Club World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium, a notable event, as 2025 marks the first year the United States is hosting the tournament.
They were reportedly awaiting the arrival of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, who were also attending the historic match.
But not everyone was buying the romance.
Donald Trump Jr and Bettina Anderson slammed by critics on social media
While Donald Trump Jr and Bettina Anderson looked more than comfortable in each other’s company, critics online weren’t as charmed.
“These two knew the cameras would be clicking away and deliberately put on a performance. I'll take a guess that this was Bettina's idea,” one user commented under a Page Six article covering the tarmac moment.
“He’s just not that into her,” another insisted.
“She hangs on him, and he barely touches her. They hold hands, but that’s it. His arms are hanging down by his sides. In that first pic, he looks stoned,” read a comment.
“She knows cameras are there and she's trying to cement her stature for the father/president who loves images over everything else,” someone else alleged.
“Bettina will do and say ANYTHING for media attention. She will also do anything for Don Jr to make sure that his attention only is focused on her. She is the ultimate grifter, next to Ivanka, Melania, and the rest of the R fakers. Bettina kissed Donnie as soon as she saw the media getting ready with their cameras,” another offered.
Donald Trump Jr and Bettina Anderson’s PDA-packed love story isn’t slowing down
This wasn’t Donald Trump Jr and Bettina Anderson's first PDA moment. Back in April, they stepped out together at a Sublime concert during LIV Golf Miami, arms wrapped around each other like teenagers at prom.
Their relationship first caught media attention in December, when dating rumors began to swirl. At the time, a source told Us Weekly that this romance was different from Trump Jr's previous relationship with former fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle.
“When it comes to his relationship with Bettina, it’s just about them,” the insider revealed. “He wants a partner. She doesn’t need anything from him and just wants to be with him.”
Since then, the couple has been spotted everywhere from the 2025 amfAR Gala in Cannes to the Super Bowl in New Orleans this past February.
When a New York Magazine profile painted Trump Jr as a “spoiled heir” and an “a***ole”, even claiming he was “the most despised member of the family”, Anderson notably clapped back. She reposted one of the article’s zingers on her Instagram Stories, sarcastically joking that the “insider” was “DEFINITELY an ‘insider’ VERY familiar” with Don Jr.
She wrote, “Rumors are started by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots,” before describing Trump Jr as “the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful and brilliant person.”
Donald Trump Jr moves on from Kimberly Guilfoyle, while ex-wife Vanessa Trump finds love with Tiger Woods
For those wondering about Donald Trump Jr's ex-fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle, it turns out that chapter quietly closed before the election season last year. An insider told Us Weekly the pair ended their engagement “before the election and started to divide assets around the end of September [2024]."
It was reportedly Trump Jr who initiated the split, though the source described it as “amicable.”
Trump Jr himself addressed the breakup in a statement published by Page Six on December 13, saying they will "never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond.” He also praised his ex, saying he “could not be more proud of her and the important role she’ll continue to play in my father’s administration.”
Meanwhile, Trump Jr’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, is now dating golf legend Tiger Woods. Page Six confirmed the new couple back in March and, according to a source earlier this month, “They’re very serious, wedding bells serious.”
