Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson embarked on a new chapter in their lives. The eldest son of President Donald Trump tied the knot with the model in a private ceremony in the Bahamas on May 23, after two years of dating. According to People, the event was a testament to their love and commitment.
Bettina shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, writing, "Forever yours," over a black-and-white photo of the couple holding hands with their wedding bands on display. "Forever mine @donaldjtrumpjr," she added, expressing her joy and excitement for their future together.
The intimate ceremony was attended by Donald Jr.'s siblings, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Ivanka Trump, who gathered for the occasion days after Donald Jr. and Bettina privately wed in West Palm Beach, Florida on May 21, as confirmed by a marriage license obtained by the outlet.
Weeks before their nuptials, Bettina held an enchanting bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago, themed around an "enchanted garden." She shared her gratitude for the day on Instagram, writing, "I'm still soaking in how beautiful and special Sunday was. To be surrounded by so many women I love and admire, and feel so grateful to have in my corner, meant more than I can say."
The 39-year-old also thanked her wedding party for creating a thoughtful, elegant, and love-filled day. "I'm still floating!" she exclaimed. Her excitement for her impending wedding day was palpable as she added, "@donaldjtrumpjr I cannot wait to marry you!"
Donald Jr. and Bettina went public with their relationship in December 2024 while celebrating her birthday together in Palm Beach, Florida. One month later, the couple put their love on display while attending events for President Trump's inauguration.
Nearly a year later, the politician announced that his son—a father to Kai Trump, 19, Donald Trump III, 17, Tristan Trump, 14, Spencer Trump, 13, and Chloe Trump, 11, with ex-wife Vanessa Trump—was engaged to Bettina during a holiday party held at the White House on Dec. 15.
At the time, Donald Jr. shared his excitement about their next step in a video shared to X. "It's not often that I'm at a loss for words 'cause we usually do the ranting and raving really well," he said. "But this is a little different. I just want to wish you guys an incredible holiday season, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year." He added, "And to thank Bettina for that one word, 'yes.'"
Donald Jr., who was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle before their 2024 breakup, also noted that his engagement was a "big win for the end of the year." He then passed the mic to his then-bride-to-be. "This has really been the most unforgettable weekend of my life," Bettina said. "And I get to marry the love of my life. I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
