Donald Trump Jr. announces his engagement to Bettina Anderson on Monday, Dec. 15, 2025

PALM BEACH, Florida – “She said yes!”

Donald Trump Jr., son of President Donald Trump, is sharing his excitement after announcing his engagement Monday night to Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.

The news came during a White House Christmas party, as Don Jr., 47, said: “Not often that I’m at a loss for words, because we usually do the ranting and raving really well, but this is a little different.”

“I just wanna wish all of you guys an incredible holiday season, a Merry Christmas, a very happy New Year, and to thank Bettina for that one word: Yes.

“It’s almost when you go down there and you’re trying to ask and you’re not sure what the answer’s gonna be. It’s always a little bit rough, but she said yes. So that’s a big win for the end of the year.”

Anderson, 39, also took to the microphone to share her jubilation, saying: “This has really been the most unforgettable weekend of my life, and I get to marry the love of my life, and I feel just like the luckiest girl in the world.”

The bride-to-be is a 2009 graduate of Columbia University, holding a degree in art history, criticism and conservation.

Her father is the late Harry Loy Anderson Jr., formerly the youngest bank president in the U.S. and a high-profile Palm Beach-area philanthropist who died in 2013.

Donald Trump Jr. was previously married to his ex-wife Vanessa, with whom he shares five children including 18-year-old Kai, who made her LPGA Tour debut last month.
