Donald Trump Jr. has stated that he and Kimberly Guilfoyle would "never stop caring for each other."
The son of the President-elect made this declaration to Page Six in a statement that was released on Friday, after we had revealed in an exclusive manner that the pair had broken up.
"Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other, and we will always keep a special bond," Trump Jr. said.
Kimberly is now travelling to Greece to serve as the United States ambassador under the government of Donald Trump.
On top of that, Trump Jr. defended Kimberly against some of the criticisms that have been leveled against her in the media. In addition, despite the fact that she is not going to marry into the family, she appears to be an integral part of the Trump world.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Trump Jr., who is 46 years old, and Kimberly, who is 55 years old, had broken off their engagement of four years.
The Daily Mail released photographs on Tuesday showing Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson, a socialite from Palm Beach who is 38 years old, publically holding hands after celebrating her birthday with a meal at Buccan.
According to another source within the restaurant, Trump Jr. and Bettina were seen "kissing" and holding hands in front of other patrons.
The following evening, Trump Jr. and Bettina, who is a frequent participant in the social scene in Palm Beach, were seen together at the exclusive club Mar-a-Lago, where they were even greeted by Donald Trump.
According to a source, the pair spoke with the small throng that was waiting in line for the buffet inside the club, and they also sat on a stage that was located in a VIP section that had velvet ropes. The source also said, "they are clearly in love," but that they "remained discreet."
In the year 2018, Trump Jr. and Kimberly began dating, and in the year 2020, they became engaged.
Despite the fact that Kimberly has not commented on the controversy, she has blogged about the ambassadorship on X, stating that taking the position was an honor.
The house as part of the ambassadorship is called Jefferson House, and it is located in the upscale Kolonaki neighborhood of Athens.
In September, Trump Jr. and Bettina were pictured together for the first time, appearing to be "cozy" at Honor Bar in Palm Beach. However, insiders stressed to Page Six at the time that the Trump scion was still "100 percent" with Kimberly.
In addition, Bettina was seen sitting behind Trump Jr. and the former host of Fox News during the Republican National Convention in the middle of July. However, a source informed us that the socialite was present at the convention because she is acquainted with Vanessa, who is Trump Jr.'s ex-wife.
Many fans expressed their concerns and thoughts after new photos surfaced showing Trump Jr. with Bettina.
Some supporters showed empathy for both parties, with one user saying, "It's clear that Donald Trump Jr. has moved on, but I hope Kimberly is doing okay. #FamilyDrama." Others highlighted the enduring bond between the couple, stating, "I believe they'll always have a bond no matter what happens. They are family. #TrumpFamily #Respect."
On the other hand, some fans urged for privacy and respect for the couple. A netizen posted, "This is all too much. Let them move on with their lives without dragging them through the mud. #RespectPrivacy." Meanwhile, another emphasized that Trump Jr. deserves happiness, saying, "I don't get why people are surprised. Trump Jr. deserves happiness, just like anyone else. #MoveOn."
A few followers acknowledged the messiness of the situation, stating, "I wish both of them the best, but this whole situation is such a mess. #DivorceDrama #TrumpFamily." Meanwhile, another seemed supportive of Trump Jr.'s new relationship, saying, "Bettina seems like a great match for Donald Jr. Love how he's living his best life. #NewBeginnings."
