Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson set for Memorial Day weekend wedding after whirlwind romance
Donald Trump Jr. and Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson are preparing to officially tie the knot, with multiple outlets reporting that the couple plans to marry over Memorial Day weekend in what is expected to be a highly private celebration.
According to Page Six, the pair surprise many, as they will exchange vows during an intimate gathering attended by a limited circle of relatives and close friends. The ceremony is reportedly set to take place on a private island in the Bahamas, marking a notable shift from earlier discussions surrounding a larger event.
Rather than a high-profile spectacle, the couple are said to have chosen a smaller and tightly controlled celebration centered on family and longtime personal connections.
A source quoted by the Daily Mail described the wedding as “very private,” adding that only a small group of people especially close to the couple would be included.
A relationship that moved quickly into marriage plans
Trump Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39, began dating in 2024, around the time his engagement to former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle came to an end.
Page Six previously reported that Trump Jr. proposed at Camp David in December 2025 while the couple were celebrating Anderson’s birthday. The engagement was later confirmed by the outlet.
Anderson, the daughter of philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson, has long been part of Palm Beach’s social world. She co-founded The Paradise Fund with her brothers, a charitable organization focused on humanitarian aid and disaster relief for children.
The couple largely kept their relationship away from public attention in its early stages. However, reporting by the Daily Mail documented one of their early public outings in Palm Beach in 2024, followed months later by additional photos showing the pair celebrating Anderson’s birthday together.
Bridal celebration offered glimpse into growing family support
Weeks before the upcoming wedding, Anderson hosted an elaborate bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago that reflected her growing ties to the Trump family circle.
The event drew several prominent Trump family members, including Ivanka Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump, Marla Maples and Kai Trump, according to reports from Page Six and the Daily Mail.
Ivanka later shared images from the gathering on Instagram, writing that she was “so grateful to share this joyous moment.”
The celebration also featured remarks from Trump Jr. himself. According to a guest cited by Page Six, he told attendees: “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with Bettina. She is smart, loving and caring.”
While details surrounding the ceremony remain closely guarded, both outlets reported that the couple are focused on maintaining privacy as they begin their next chapter together.
