Kimberly Guilfoyle was about to become a permanent member of the Trump family. The television personality and Donald Trump Jr. got engaged in 2020. However, it appears they may have ended their relationship because Don was spotted holding hands with a woman named Bettina Anderson in December 2024.
Don reportedly popped the question to Kimberly in 2020, and they kept their engagement under wraps for a while. “They’ve kept it private for the past year as they settled into life in Florida after moving from New York,” a friend of the couple told Daily Mail. “It’s been an open secret for the past 12 months with everyone Kim runs into admiring her almost 8-carat diamond engagement ring,” the friend added to Daily Mail.
