WASHINGTON, DC: Kimberly Guilfoyle, who once stood by Donald Trump Jr’s side during campaign events and glamorous Mar-a-Lago soirees, is reportedly heartbroken after being sidelined by the entire Trump clan as her ex moves on with Bettina Anderson.

Following his divorce from Vanessa Trump, Trump Jr and Guilfoyle began dating in 2018, making their relationship public in June that year. 

Their commitment grew stronger with an engagement announcement in February 2022, but by December 2024, their relationship took a sudden turn, and the couple called off their engagement.

According to insiders cited by RadarOnline, Kimberly Guilfoyle’s dedication to the Trump family has gone largely unrecognized - especially after her split from Donald Trump Jr.

One source revealed, “She gave them everything — her time, her energy, her loyalty. But the second Don moved on, so did the family. Kimberly was discarded like yesterday's news.”

The emotional blow reportedly intensified when Don Jr introduced his new girlfriend, Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, at a Trump family gathering - where she was warmly welcomed. “They never embraced Kimberly like this,” the insider added. “Bettina fits their polished image. Kimberly never quite made the cut.”

Though Guilfoyle now holds a prominent role as US Ambassador to Greece, sources say she’s privately grappling with the sense of rejection from a family she once seemed destined to join.

A friend of Guilfoyle told gossip columnist Rob Shuter that although she's staying composed publicly, the emotional toll of her split from Trump Jr runs deep.

“Kimberly's putting on a brave face. But behind the scenes, it hurts. She went from nearly being a Trump to being totally iced out,” the source shared.

Despite Trump Jr’s new relationship, Kimberly Guilfoyle has reportedly remained intent on keeping a connection with him.

In January, a source told Page Six, “She has every intention of maintaining a relationship with Donald Trump Jr Kimberly and Don have known each other for years and have a lot of history together, so she feels like they'll always have a connection.”

This came to light during Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration events, where Guilfoyle crossed paths with Trump Jr and his new girlfriend, model Bettina Anderson.

According to People, she kept things civil despite the awkward overlap. “Kim saw Don with Bettina, and it was all civil. No negativity,” a source said, noting she was very aware of their presence and kept a “watchful eye.”

While the relationship may have ended, Guilfoyle and Don Jr have maintained a respectful public front. After her appointment as US Ambassador to Greece, Trump Jr publicly supported her, saying, “I could not be more proud of her and the important role she'll continue to play in my father's administration.”
