WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Donald Trump Jr recently claimed that he and Kimberly Guilfoyle "will never stop caring for each other" but failed to address the rumors about their split.

Several reports have lately claimed that the pair, who got engaged in 2020 after two years of dating, are no longer together, with one source claiming, "Don and Kimberly haven’t been getting along over the past year."

The speculation about their relationship status peaked after the eldest son of President-elect Donald Trump was seen hand-in-hand with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson last week.

The father of five went on to defend the former prosecutor against negative media reports about her, saying, "Anyone taking baseless and petty fake news cheap shots at her in the tabloids are just embarrassing themselves."

Don Jr called Guilfoyle "a leader of the MAGA movement" and said Greece is lucky to have her.

"The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever," he mentioned, before adding, "Since the very beginning, no one on Team Trump has worked harder than Kimberly to help elect and reelect my father — and no one deserves this ambassadorship more than she does."
