Donald Trump Jr. says he and ex Kimberly Guilfoyle share ‘special bond’: We ‘will never stop caring for each other’

Donald Trump Jr. says he and Kimberly Guilfoyle will “never stop caring for each other.”

The President-elect’s son exclusively told Page Six in a statement on Friday — after we exclusively reported that the couple has parted ways — “Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond.”

He added of Guilfoyle, who is now headed to Greece as US ambassador under Donald Trump, “I could not be more proud of her and the important role she’ll continue to play in my father‘s administration.”

Trump Jr. also defended Guilfoyle from some of the hits she’s allegedly taken in the media. And while she may not be marrying into the family, she still seems to be firmly part of the Trump universe.

“Anyone taking baseless and petty fake news cheap shots at her in the tabloids are just embarrassing themselves,” Don Jr. continued of Guilfoyle.

“She’s been an undefeated prosecutor, national TV news star, a leader of the MAGA movement and close advisor to the president. The people of Greece are getting an absolute star and now the whole world will see it more than ever.”

Don Jr. also stated, “Since the very beginning, no one on Team Trump has worked harder than Kimberly to help elect and reelect my father — and no one deserves this ambassadorship more than she does.”

We reported on Tuesday that Don Jr., 46, and Guilfoyle, 55, have ended their engagement of four years.

In his statement to us, Don Jr. did not specifically confirm the split.

On Tuesday, the Daily Mail published images of Don Jr. and Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 38, holding hands in public after a dinner at Buccan to celebrate her birthday. 

A source inside the restaurant also told Page Six that Don Jr. and Anderson were “kissing” and holding hands in front of fellow diners.

The next night Trump Jr. and Anderson — a regular on the Palm Beach social circuit — were spotted together at private club Mar-a-Lago, and were even greeted by Donald Trump.

A source told us that the couple mingled with the intimate crowd in the club’s buffet line, and they sat on a stage in a VIP area with velvet ropes. An insider said, “they are clearly in love,” but that they “remained discreet.”

Don Jr. and Guilfoyle started dating in 2018, and got engaged in 2020. 

While Guilfoyle has not addressed the split, she posted of the ambassadorship on X: “I’m honored to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to earning the support of the U.S. Senate. President Trump’s historic victory is bringing hope and optimism to the American people and to freedom-loving allies across the world.”

The ambassadorship includes a residence, Jefferson House, in the affluent Kolonaki district of Athens.

Trump Jr. and Anderson were first photographed together in September looking “cozy” at Honor Bar in Palm Beach, though sources insisted to Page Six at the time that the Trump scion was still “100 percent” with Guilfoyle. 

Anderson was also spotted sitting behind Don Jr. and the former Fox News host at the Republican National Convention in mid-July — though a source told us that the socialite was there because she’s friends with Don Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa.
