Bettina Anderson is a model, content creator and philanthropic initiative promoter.
She is co-founder of The Paradise Fund, an NGO focused on social and community impact projects.
In recent years, Anderson has gained visibility in both social and political circles, particularly after her relationship with Trump Jr. became public in late 2024.
As reported by The New York Times, during the July 2024 Republican National Convention – where Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy was made official – Anderson was seated at the presidential rostrum, right behind Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, who at the time was still his partner.

Donald Trump Jr. was married for approximately 12 years to Vanessa Trump, who filed for divorce in 2018, according to People magazine.
Five children were born to this marriage: Kai Madison (18), Donald III (16), Tristan Milos (14), Spencer Frederick (13) and Chloe Sophia (11).
That same year, Trump Jr. began a relationship with Kimberly Guilfoyle, a lawyer, former prosecutor and media figure with a strong presence in the Republican Party.
The couple became engaged in 2020, and Guilfoyle played a prominent role in the 2020 and 2024 Republican conventions.
Since this year, she has served as U.S. Ambassador to Greece, a diplomatic post that marked a new direction in her public career.
The engagement between Trump Jr. and Anderson has generated attention both socially and politically, as he is a central figure within the president’s entourage and the Republican movement.
So far, no details about the date or location of the wedding have been released.
