Donald Trump Jr. has publicly addressed his split from longtime fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle while simultaneously expressing his excitement over her new role as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. The announcement comes on the same day that DailyMail.com confirmed their breakup, marking a significant transition in both their personal and professional lives.
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that Guilfoyle, 55, will be moving to Greece in early 2025 to serve as America’s top diplomat in Athens. The news follows months of speculation about the couple’s relationship, which appeared to be unraveling amid reports of Don Jr.’s growing closeness to Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
Despite their romantic split, Don Jr., 46, was quick to praise Guilfoyle, emphasizing her deep love for the country and dedication to public service.
“I am so proud of Kimberly. She loves America and has always wanted to serve the country as an ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First,” he stated.
The couple, who began dating in 2018, got engaged on December 31, 2020, though they kept the news private until early 2022. However, their relationship took a hit in recent months, particularly after photos surfaced of Don Jr. dining with Anderson, 38, sparking rumors of a new romance.
A source close to the former couple confirmed, “There is no more Kimberly and Don—at least not romantically. Their engagement hasn’t officially been called off yet. They were waiting until after the Inauguration to announce.”
Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and seasoned political strategist, has not been seen publicly with Don Jr. since November 12. Meanwhile, Don Jr. has been spending more time with Anderson, including a birthday celebration for the socialite in Palm Beach, Florida.
Despite the personal turmoil, Guilfoyle remains focused on her new diplomatic role. Having studied international law and built a high-profile career in media and politics, she appears well-positioned to represent the U.S. in Greece.
President-elect Trump offered strong words of support for her appointment, stating, “Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics, along with her sharp intellect, make her supremely qualified to represent the United States and safeguard its interests abroad.”
He further praised her ability to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, highlighting issues such as defense cooperation and trade as key priorities for her tenure.
Guilfoyle’s appointment places her in the prestigious Jefferson House, the current estate of U.S. Ambassador to Greece George Tsunis, marking a major milestone in her career.
Meanwhile, Don Jr.’s reported new relationship has continued to attract attention. In September, he was seen kissing Anderson, which first fueled speculation about the state of his engagement. Just days after that revelation, Guilfoyle was spotted alongside Don Jr. during his unexpected trip to the Balkans, adding further confusion to the status of their relationship.
Don Jr. traveled to Serbia and Romania to promote his father’s foreign policy agenda, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The trip coincided with additional reports linking him and Anderson, including video footage of the socialite mingling with his ex-wife and their daughter at a party in Florida—without Guilfoyle in sight.
While sources initially suggested Guilfoyle was simply busy with a prior speaking engagement, the couple’s growing distance became increasingly apparent. Now, with her upcoming move to Greece, the former power couple is officially heading in separate directions.
As she prepares for her new role, Guilfoyle is expected to play a key part in shaping U.S.-Greece relations under the Trump administration. Don Jr., on the other hand, seems to be embracing his new chapter with Anderson in Florida.
Despite their breakup, both appear to be forging ahead, with Guilfoyle stepping into a prominent diplomatic position and Don Jr. navigating his personal and political future in the ever-evolving Trump orbit.

This followed another revelation by Daily Mail that Bettina Anderson had been featured in a video schmoozing with the former president’s son, his ex-wife and their daughter at a party in Florida, with Kimberly nowhere in sight.
Sources close to the couple at the time insisted Kimberly had been invited but had a speaking engagement that night.
