Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece and former Fox News host, recently shared a humorous anecdote regarding her honeymoon experience with her ex-husband, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, sparking conversations about her romantic future. Guilfoyle, aged 56, reminisced about her 2001 marriage to Newsom during a meeting with Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas on Nov. 4, as reported by Daily Mail.
Having been appointed as the ambassador to Greece earlier this year by President Donald Trump following the end of her engagement to Donald Trump Jr., Guilfoyle engaged in a lighthearted exchange with Tasoulas. When asked if she had visited Greece before her ambassadorship, Guilfoyle mentioned her honeymoon with Newsom. Fondly recalling the experience, Guilfoyle playfully remarked, “I also had a honeymoon here in 2004. Fabulous honeymoon but…”
The banter took an amusing turn when Tasoulas inquired about the success of the marriage. In response, Guilfoyle humorously stated, “We’ll work on getting a new husband.” The marriage between Guilfoyle and Newsom in 2001 had garnered significant attention, with the San Francisco Chronicle dubbing it as “a royal wedding. Social event of the year.” Guilfoyle, then working in the San Francisco district attorney’s office, supported Newsom’s mayoral campaign by stepping away from her prosecutor role.
As Newsom assumed office as the mayor of San Francisco in 2004, the couple’s relationship took a turn, leading to their separation that same year and the finalization of their divorce in February 2006. Guilfoyle’s jest about finding a new partner comes in the wake of her engagement to Donald Trump Jr. ending less than a year ago. After parting ways with Newsom, Guilfoyle transitioned towards conservative views and successfully built a career at Fox News as a host and political pundit from 2006 to 2018.
The year 2018 marked a significant turn in Guilfoyle’s life as she began dating Donald Trump Jr., eventually becoming a prominent figure within the Trump family circle. The couple made joint political appearances, notably at the Republican National Conventions in 2020 and 2024. However, their engagement came to an end towards the end of 2024, following reports of Trump Jr.’s closeness to socialite Bettina Anderson, leading to their subsequent split.
Notably, a day after public sightings of Trump Jr. with Anderson, Guilfoyle was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece by Donald Trump. Her recent meeting with President Tasoulas signified the commencement of her diplomatic duties in Greece, as confirmed by The Associated Press. Guilfoyle’s candid remarks and comical approach towards her past relationships add a touch of personal insight into her public persona, sparking intrigue and discussions among followers and onlookers alike.
In reflection, Guilfoyle’s journey from her high-profile marriage to Gavin Newsom to her recent diplomatic responsibilities showcases a remarkable evolution in her personal and professional life, symbolising resilience and adaptability in the face of changing circumstances. Her openness about her romantic experiences serves as a testament to her candid nature and ability to navigate life’s twists and turns with grace and humour.
