Over the weekend, Donald Trump Jr. 's girlfriend, Bettina Anderson , was seen alongside the Trump family at the president’s Turnberry golf course in Scotland, turning what was initially described as a “working trip” into a family affair.
While President Donald Trump hit the links with his younger son Eric, U.S. Ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens, and others, Anderson appeared by Trump Jr.’s side during their visit to the homeland of Trump’s late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod.
In a video posted to a pro-Trump X account, Anderson can be seen standing close to Trump Jr. during a gathering inside the exclusive golf resort. At one point, she’s caught on camera speaking to someone off-screen while the group cheered the president.
This is far from the first time Anderson has been spotted in the family circle, and as her public presence grows, so has curiosity about who she is and how she fits into Donald Trump Jr.'s post-Guilfoyle chapter.
Their relationship timeline
Donald Trump Jr. was first publicly linked to Bettina Anderson in August 2024, when the two were photographed enjoying brunch in Palm Beach , Florida. By December, their relationship was undeniable, the couple was seen hand-in-hand during a nighttime walk in Palm Beach and later at her birthday dinner at Buccan, a local hotspot.
At the time, Trump was still engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, with whom he had been in a high-profile relationship since 2018. In September 2024, PEOPLE reported that Trump and Guilfoyle were allegedly spending less time together. A source added, “Don and Kim are over but they are going to offer her some kind of administrative position so she will be happy.”
In fact, shortly after Trump was seen publicly with Anderson, his father nominated Guilfoyle to be U.S. ambassador to Greece, a move that insiders have described as a political exit strategy.
Anderson’s presence at Trump family events became increasingly visible. She joined Donald Trump Jr. at the Republican National Convention in July 2024, where she sat behind him and next to three of his five children, just feet from Guilfoyle. She was even photographed speaking with Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump.
So, who is Bettina Anderson?
Bettina Anderson was born in December 1986 and raised in Palm Beach, Florida, where she still resides. Her father, Harry Loy Anderson Jr., was a noted entrepreneur who became the youngest bank president in the U.S. at age 26 when he took over Worth Avenue National Bank. Her mother, Inger Anderson, is a philanthropist.
The couple was active in civic life, with Harry serving on the board of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and the national board of governors for the American Red Cross. In total, they had six children, including Bettina.
Anderson graduated from Columbia University in 2009 with a degree in art history, criticism, and conservation, according to her LinkedIn. She has modeled for Hamilton Jewelers, appeared on the cover of Quest magazine, and was featured in Palm Beach Illustrated in 2021, which described her as a “local influencer.”
She’s also deeply involved in philanthropy. In 2021, she launched Project Paradise Film Fund , an offshoot of The Paradise Fund, the nonprofit she founded to support disaster relief and conservation causes. The organization is now known as Paradise NGO, where Anderson serves as executive director.
“One of the greatest focuses of my life is how I can be of service to others and be a steward of the environment,” Anderson told Fashion Week Daily in a 2022 interview.
