“Kimberly and Don Jr have many mutual friends and run in the same circles,” explained the insider, adding that "they’ll continuously cross paths throughout their lives".

Amid the changing vista of relationships, the senior Trump announced Guilfoyle to be US Ambassador to Greece. 

While People previously reported that Don Jr’s new girlfriend “wants Kim out of the area,” with the pair “trying to send” her abroad, the recent source shared that Guilfoyle would still remain in the same circle as her ex-fiance.
