Donald Trump Jr spotted kissing Palm Beach socialite at brunch amid Kimberly Guilfoyle split rumors
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Donald Trump Jr was spotted kissing a Palm Beach socialite last month in the absence of his fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle amid swirling speculations about their breakup.
The former first son was caught canoodling Bettina Anderson, 37, a Republican socialite, during an intimate brunch on August 17 at The Honor Bar in Palm Beach's Royal Poinciana Plaza shopping centre, according to Daily Mail.
Witnesses revealed the manner of conduct between Trump Jr and Anderson, which indicated that it was not a business meeting.
"She seemed totally smitten with Don – and he with her," an insider told the outlet.
"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."
Who is Bettina Anderson?
Bettina Anderson, a model, philanthorpist and influncer is the daugter of Harry Loy Anderson Jr and Inger.
Her father, who died in 2013, was the Worth Avenue National Bank's youngest president when he assumed a position at the age of 26. Her mother, Inger, is currently 74 years old and owns an $11.5 million home in Palm Beach.
Anderson lives in West Palm Beach in a $860,000 three-bed townhouse.
The socialite is also a registered Republican and has indicated her strong alliance with the Trump family as well as the GOP through her close-up selfie with former President Donald Trump's daughter, Tiffany Trump, and a picture hugging Florida Gov Ron DeSantis.
She also follows Trump Jr and his daughter, Kai Trump, on Instagram.
Anderson is also the founder of Paradise Fund, a non-profit organization aimed to "protect the environment and at-risk citizens".
Donald Trump Jr's intimate brunch with Bettina Anderson amid split rumors with Kimberly Guilfoyle
According to insider sources who witnessed Donald Trump Jr's brunch with Bettina Anderson, she at one point kept her hand on the former first son's thigh.
"They were definitely on a date," said one insider.
"They weren't exactly making out, but the kisses were romantic, and you could tell they were intimate with each other."
Meanwhile, another source told the outlet, "I guess they're not trying to hide it. They've been seen together all over Palm Beach."
The duo also engaged in talks about the food they ordered and told the waiter of their plans to visit Islamorada, a village in Florida.
Trump Jr was last spotted with his 55-year-old fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle on August 18 at the MAGA Boat Parade in Palm Beach County, a day after his rendezvous with Anderson.
His appearance with Anderson came four months after Trump Jr shared a lovely message on social media to celebrate his six years of togetherness with Guilfoyle.
"Happy 6 year anniversary @kimberlyguilfoyle thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way. I love you," he wrote on Instagram.
