With Bettina Anderson now officially married to Donald Trump Jr., the Trump family has welcomed its newest member through marriage. The wedding marks the latest chapter in a family story that spans decades, multiple generations, and a long list of spouses and in-laws who have become part of one of America’s most recognizable political and business dynasties.
From Donald Trump’s three marriages to the partners chosen by his children, the Trump family has steadily grown over the years. Some of its members have remained closely involved in politics and public life, while others have largely focused on family, business, or personal pursuits.
Here is a look at the current and former spouses and in-laws who have joined the Trump family over the years.
Ivana Trump
Ivana Trump was Donald Trump’s first wife and the mother of his three oldest children: Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump.
The couple married in 1977 and spent 13 years together. During that time, Ivana was involved in several Trump business ventures and held management roles within the organization. Their marriage ended in 1990.
Ivana later married twice more before her death in 2022 at the age of 73.
Marla Maples
Marla Maples became Donald Trump’s second wife after the end of his first marriage.
The actress and model married Trump in 1993, shortly after the birth of their daughter, Tiffany Trump. Their relationship remained highly publicized throughout the 1990s before ending in divorce in 1999.
Marla remains an important figure in the family’s history as the mother of Tiffany Trump.
Melania Trump
Melania Trump, born Melania Knauss, was introduced to Donald Trump in 1998.
After several years together, the couple married in 2005 and welcomed their son, Barron, the following year. Melania has since become one of the most recognized members of the family through her role as First Lady.
She has publicly stated that she maintains her own views and does not always agree with her husband on every issue.
Vanessa Trump
Vanessa Trump married Donald Trump Jr. in 2005.
Together they welcomed five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. The couple divorced in 2018 but have continued to co-parent their children.
In 2025, Vanessa publicly confirmed her relationship with professional golfer Tiger Woods. Despite the divorce, she has continued to maintain ties with the extended Trump family and still publicly uses the Trump surname.
Jared Kushner
Jared Kushner joined the Trump family when he married Ivanka Trump in 2009.
The couple met in 2007 and are parents to three children: Arabella, Joseph, and Theodore. Before their wedding, Ivanka converted to Judaism, and the family raises their children within the Orthodox Jewish faith.
Jared and Ivanka both served as senior advisers during Donald Trump’s first administration and remain among the most prominent members of the extended Trump family.
Lara Trump
Lara Trump married Eric Trump after the pair met through mutual friends in 2008.
The couple are parents to two children, Luke and Carolina, and live in Westchester, New York.
Lara has taken on several public roles over the years. She served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee and later returned to Fox News, where she launched her weekend program My View with Lara Trump.
She has also spoken openly about balancing public life with raising a family.
Michael Boulos
Michael Boulos entered the Trump family through his marriage to Tiffany Trump.
The couple began dating after meeting in Greece and became engaged in 2021. They married at Mar-a-Lago the following year.
In 2025, Tiffany and Michael welcomed their first child, Alexander Trump Boulos.
While Michael does not hold a formal role in the administration, he frequently appears alongside Tiffany at major family events and official gatherings.
Bettina Anderson
Bettina Anderson is the newest person to join the Trump family through marriage.
After Donald Trump Jr.’s engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle ended, he began publicly appearing with the Palm Beach socialite in 2024. Their relationship continued to grow throughout the following year, with sources describing the couple as serious and committed.
Their engagement was announced by President Trump, and Bettina’s bridal shower followed in April 2026.
The couple later married in Florida, officially making Bettina Anderson the newest member of the Trump family.
As the Trump family continues to grow, each marriage has added another chapter to a story that now stretches across multiple generations. From Ivana Trump and Marla Maples to Melania Trump, Jared Kushner, Lara Trump, Michael Boulos, and now Bettina Anderson, every addition has helped shape the modern Trump family that remains in the public spotlight today.
