Bettina Anderson, a well-known socialite, model, and influencer from Palm Beach, Florida, is reportedly dating Donald Trump Jr. Anderson, who comes from a prominent banking family, has been linked to Trump Jr. since September, following her attendance at the Republican National Convention in July.
Anderson’s father, Harry Loy Anderson, was the youngest bank president in the US when he took over Worth Avenue National Bank at 26 years old. He was also a philanthropist who supported numerous charitable causes, including the American Red Cross. Her mother, Inger Anderson, operates Palm Beach Groves, an orange orchard and souvenir shop. Bettina grew up on a Palm Beach estate known as Oasis Cottage, which once belonged to fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer Rousseau.
An Ivy League graduate, Anderson earned a bachelor’s degree in art history from Columbia University in 2009. She has worked as a business development professional, model, and influencer, with her résumé including roles at TherapeuticsMD and Merrick Ventures. Anderson has modeled for various magazines and has over 51,000 followers on Instagram, where she promotes skincare products and her Amazon Shop.
Anderson co-founded an environmental charity called Project Paradise with her siblings, which funds filmmaking grants for documentaries about environmental conservation. She is also involved with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County and is a young patron of The Everglades Foundation.
In September, the Daily Mail reported that Anderson and Trump Jr. were seen kissing and having brunch together in Palm Beach. Although neither has publicly confirmed their relationship, Anderson has tagged Trump Jr. in an Instagram story and they have been photographed together on multiple occasions.
In October, Anderson co-hosted a fundraiser for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign at Mar-a-Lago, which featured former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Vivek Ramaswamy. The event had a high entry cost, with dinner attendance priced at $100,000 per couple and a fireside chat at $30,000 per couple.
On her birthday in December, Anderson posted a photo of a bouquet of flowers on Instagram, tagging Trump Jr. The card accompanying the flowers read, “Many have said you’re aging out but I think you’re perfect…happy birthday!” The two were also seen holding hands and celebrating Trump Jr.’s birthday together at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve.
Trump Jr. has not confirmed his breakup with fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle but stated that they “will always keep a special bond” and that he “could not be more proud of her and the important role she’ll continue to play in my father’s administration” as ambassador to Greece.
