PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Donald Trump Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle have long been perceived as a power couple, doing whatever it takes for the MAGA movement, however, it looks like their love story might have taken a turn for the worse.

A cheating scandal, coupled with whispers of tension within the Trump family, has reportedly thrown their lengthy engagement into chaos. While the two have put on a united front in public, insiders say the romance is all but over.

The scandal that rocked Donald Trump Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle's engagement

It all began in September when Kimberly Guilfoyle was reportedly “blindsided” by photos of her fiance, Donald Trump Jr, with heiress Bettina Anderson. The snapshots showed Trump Jr allegedly cozying up to the model and philanthropist at The Honor Bar in Palm Beach’s upscale Royal Poinciana Plaza on August 17.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, the two weren’t exactly hiding their connection. Witnesses told the outlet that Anderson was seen planting not one, but three romantic kisses on Don Jr’s lips during their outing.

“She seemed totally smitten with Don—and he with her,” an insider said. “They looked totally relaxed, she wearing a white shirt tied off to show her midriff and wide-leg pants, he in shorts and a t-shirt.”

Anderson’s affection reportedly didn’t stop at kisses. One witness claimed she even placed her hand on his thigh under the table. “They were definitely on a date,” another source confirmed. “They weren’t exactly making out, but the kisses were romantic, and you could tell they were intimate with each other.”



 

The Trump family’s strategic silence

Despite the bombshell photos, Kimberly Guilfoyle stood by Don Jr’s side on election night, celebrating his father Donald’s historic win. But insiders say this was all for show.

“It is all a show. The appearances of Don and Kimberly are for the cameras,” a source told Radar Online. “The Trump family does not want to create an enemy in Kimberly; they are concerned about what damage she could do. But make no mistake, the romance is over.”

The insider added that while Guilfoyle’s election night appearance surprised many, her motives may not have been entirely romantic. “Let’s just say that Don Jr and the rest of them got the distant impression that Kimberly liked the idea of being a Trump more than she liked him,” they said.

And while the Trumps might not say it out loud, some family members were reportedly less than thrilled about Guilfoyle. “Despite what the Trumps might say in public, they were never fully behind Kimberly. Some of them were even turned off by her, though they’ll never admit it,” the source dished.



 

The Trump 'clan' photo that spoke volumes

The rumored family tension reached new heights when Don Jr’s daughter, Kai Trump, 18, shared a photo of the “whole squad” on Twitter.

The picture featured Donald Trump, all five of his children, five grandchildren, and even Elon Musk and his son—but noticeably missing were Melania Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle.

“I mean, can it be any more obvious?” an insider quipped. “Even Donny’s ex-wife, Vanessa, was in the photos.”

Another source added, “The fact Melania and Kimberly are missing from this ‘whole family’ portrait has sparked a flood of rumors all is not well in the Trump ranks.”



 

Trump Jr and Guilfoyle’s relationship began in 2018 after his split from Vanessa Trump. The couple announced their engagement in 2022, and Don Jr celebrated their sixth anniversary with a gushing Instagram post earlier this year.

“Happy 6-year anniversary @kimberlyguilfoyle thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way. I love you,” he posted in April.
