Don Jr. and Bettina Anderson Set to Wed Over Memorial Day Weekend in Private Bahamian Ceremony
After a whirlwind romance that captured headlines and speculation alike, Donald Trump Jr., 48, and Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 39, are officially preparing to say “I do.” Sources confirm the couple has chosen Memorial Day weekend for their wedding, but fans shouldn’t expect a public spectacle — the event is reportedly intimate, exclusive, and steeped in family ties.
According to Page Six, the pair will exchange vows on a private island in the Bahamas, surrounded only by a select circle of relatives and close friends. A source described the upcoming nuptials as “very private,” emphasizing the couple’s desire to keep the focus on their personal connection rather than a grand, headline-grabbing affair

A Relationship That Moved Fast
Trump Jr. and Anderson began dating in 2024, shortly after his engagement to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle ended. Rumors quickly escalated when Trump Jr. proposed at Camp David in December 2025 during Anderson’s birthday celebration — an engagement later confirmed publicly.

Anderson’s eight-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, crafted by Dallas jeweler Sue Gragg, has drawn attention for its size and sparkle, reportedly surpassing the ring Trump Jr. gave Guilfoyle in 2022.
Born into Palm Beach social prominence, Anderson is the daughter of philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson. She co-founded The Paradise Fund alongside her brothers, a charitable initiative supporting humanitarian aid and disaster relief for children.
While the couple kept the early months of their romance largely private, paparazzi glimpses in Palm Beach throughout 2024 hinted at their growing bond, including celebrations of Anderson’s birthday and other low-key outings.
Family Celebration Signals Strong Trump Ties
In the lead-up to the wedding, Anderson hosted an elegant bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago, signaling her increasingly close connection to the Trump family. The gathering included several high-profile relatives: Ivanka Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump, Marla Maples, and Kai Trump.
Ivanka shared glimpses of the event on Instagram, writing that she was “so grateful to share this joyous moment.” Trump Jr. also spoke during the celebration, reportedly telling attendees: “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with Bettina. She is smart, loving, and caring.”
Despite months of speculation, family events, and carefully curated public appearances, the couple has emphasized privacy for their wedding, aiming to celebrate their love away from the spotlight as they embark on this new chapter together.
With a stunning Bahamian backdrop, a glittering emerald-cut ring, and the close embrace of family, Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson’s Memorial Day weekend nuptials promise to be a deeply personal and unforgettable affair — a union that, while understated, speaks volumes about the couple’s dedication to each other.
