Donald Trump Jr. has recently tied the knot with Bettina Anderson in a low-key ceremony in Florida, prior to a second celebration in the Bahamas. According to a marriage application revealed by *PEOPLE*, the couple had initially made their union official on May 14, 2025, at the home of Bettina’s twin sister, Kristina Anderson McPherson, in West Palm Beach. The intimate Florida marriage document, filed just days before the couple’s tropical celebrations, has signatures from both parties.

On May 23, 2025, the couple exchanged vows once more during a picturesque ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas, surrounded by a select group of family and friends. Attendees included Don Jr.’s siblings—Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany Trump—along with their respective partners. Bettina’s family and several close friends also graced the occasion, marking a joyous moment for the families involved.
A source close to the couple emphasised the special nature of the day, stating, “Bettina and Don Jr. got married on a glorious day in a place where they often visit.” This suggests that the idyllic location holds sentimental value for the newlyweds, who have frequently enjoyed their time in the Bahamas together.
Donald Trump Jr., 48, is the eldest son of former President Donald Trump and his late first wife, Ivana. Bettina Anderson, aged 39, is a socialite from Florida, born to entrepreneur Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and philanthropist Inger Anderson. The couple first sparked romance rumours in August 2024 and were later seen together on several occasions, cementing their relationship in public.
Prior to his relationship with Bettina, Don Jr. had a notable engagement with former Fox News anchor Kimberly Guilfoyle, but the details surrounding their split were never made fully public. Rumours of Don Jr. dating Bettina began circulating in late 2024, when sources noted the couple had been seeing each other for approximately six months before an official announcement of their engagement in December 2025. During a public event, Don Jr. expressed his gratitude to Bettina, acknowledging the emotional weight of the moment by stating, “I want to thank Bettina for that one word: ‘Yes.’”
In the lead-up to their wedding, Bettina enjoyed a lavish bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April 2025, with notable attendees including Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Trump, as well as Marla Maples, Donald’s second wife. A source described the event as “gorgeous,” highlighting the lovely atmosphere both indoors and outdoors.
Bettina’s relationship with the Trump family appears to be amicable, with sources reporting acceptance and support from her new in-laws. Friends of the couple suggest that Bettina is an excellent match for Don Jr. and plays a crucial role in his life. One source referred to her as an “enormous asset” and noted how well she fits into the Trump family dynamic: “I think they’re very well suited for each other,” stated another insider.
The couple’s wedding does not coincide with any recent nuptials at the White House during Donald Trump’s second term. The last first family wedding at the White House was that of Naomi Biden and Peter Neal in November 2022, while the last wedding of a president’s child at the White House dates back to 1971 during Richard Nixon’s administration.
Bettina made her public debut within the Trump family earlier this year, sitting just behind Don Jr. during the State of the Union address in February, alongside other spouses. This further reinforced her role within the family’s social landscape.
In their own way, Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson mark a new chapter in their lives together, with future moments likely to continue capturing the attention of both political and social circles. As they begin their journey as husband and wife, speculation about their shared aspirations, including potential parenting plans, remains of interest amid the engagements of their high-profile families.
