Donald Trump Jr.’s marriage to Bettina Anderson has officially marked the beginning of a new chapter for their blended family, and reports suggest the relationship between Anderson and his eldest daughter, Kai Trump, has already grown into a close one.
According to Page Six, Kai and her new stepmother have developed a warm friendship, with the pair spending time together and enjoying one another’s company long before Bettina and Donald Jr. exchanged vows.
The couple recently married during an intimate ceremony in the Bahamas after first making their marriage official in Florida. Their wedding was attended by close family members, including several of Donald Trump Jr.’s siblings and their spouses, according to People.
A strong connection with Kai
Sources speaking to Page Six said Kai, 19, has embraced Bettina’s presence in the family and enjoys spending time with her.
One insider told the outlet that the two have filmed TikTok videos together and always have fun when they are together. While Kai has spent the most time with Bettina so far, the source added that Donald Jr.’s younger children are still getting to know their new stepmother.
The reported relationship reflects the close family dynamic that has developed as Bettina has become part of Donald Trump Jr.’s life.
Donald Jr. shares five children with his former wife, Vanessa Trump: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe.
The positive relationship extends beyond the children, according to Page Six.
Vanessa Trump reportedly approves
A source told the publication that Bettina and Vanessa Trump became friends before Bettina began dating Donald Jr. The insider also claimed that Vanessa believes the couple are well suited and fully supports their relationship.
Representatives for Donald Jr., Vanessa Trump and Bettina Anderson did not immediately respond to Page Six‘s requests for comment.
Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson recently celebrated their marriage during a private ceremony in the Bahamas after quietly completing the legal process in Florida, according to People.
The publication reported that the celebration included close relatives from both families. A source told People that the couple married in a location they frequently visit together.
The newlyweds announced their engagement in December 2025 after about a year of dating. During a White House event at the time, Donald Jr. thanked Bettina for accepting his proposal, while Bettina described the engagement as “the most unforgettable weekend.”
Before marrying Anderson, Donald Jr. was married to Vanessa Trump for 12 years before their divorce in 2018. The former couple continue to share five children together.
With their marriage now official, reports from both Page Six and People suggest Bettina Anderson has already established strong relationships with Donald Trump Jr.’s family, including a particularly close bond with his eldest daughter, Kai Trump.
