00:00When it comes to supporting Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, Kimberly Guilfoyle
00:05now finds herself facing an uncomfortable predicament. Her engagement to Donald Trump
00:09Jr. has seemingly stalled out. A September 2024 sighting of the eldest Trump son with
00:15a Palm Beach, Florida model and socialite named Bettina Anderson sure makes it appear
00:20that he and Guilfoyle are on their way to breaking up.
00:23As a source explained to OK! Magazine,
00:26Don Jr. and Bettina Anderson were definitely on a date. They weren't exactly making out,
00:30but the kisses were romantic, and you could tell they were intimate with each other.
00:34With Don Jr. affair rumors swirling, one of Kimberly's friends explained to the Daily
00:39Mail that she's allowing herself to turn a blind eye out of love. The source said,
00:43"'She's no fool, but it's easy to deceive yourself when you're so committed to someone
00:47and believe he's committed to you. He's pretty bold and, as smart as she is, Kimberly looked
00:52the other way.'"
00:54However, Kimberly's choice to ignore Don Jr.'s alleged infidelity could just as easily be
00:58a campaign cover-up designed to mitigate distracting family drama while Donald Sr. hits the home
01:04stretch in his most recent bid for the presidency. After all, the former prosecutor has been
01:09a huge cornerstone in the family's quest to return to the White House. As her friend told
01:13the Daily Mail, saying,
01:15She has been so entrenched in the campaign, it would look bad to humiliate her.
01:19"'I know the measure of the man that stands before us. Donald Trump will never stop fighting
01:27for you.'"
01:28Kimberly appears to have an excellent command of optics in her relationship with Donald
01:32Trump Jr., and has successfully maintained a visually united front with him for years.
01:37However, the writing appears to be on the wall for this Republican romance, despite
01:40her best efforts. Don Jr.'s seeming disregard for whether or not he was captured on film
01:45at a restaurant with Bettina Anderson is an obvious sign, but there have been many
01:50other more subtle hints. For example, Kimberly's social media behavior increasingly screams
01:55deflection, and it's hard to ignore how the once-loving public posts between her and Don
01:59Jr. are all but absent.
02:02Kimberly's Instagram page is almost exclusively dominated by campaign-related posts, such
02:06as this video celebrating Donald Trump Sr. accepting the Republican nomination for president.
02:11The video includes a short, weak hug exchanged between Kimberly and Don Jr., a far cry from
02:16the passion you'd expect to see from an engaged couple.
02:19Kimberly's friend also told Daily Mail that the tension was palpable between the couple
02:23at the 2024 Republican National Convention, saying,
02:26Sure, she was given a platform, but the vibrations in the former president's box were not good
02:31ones between her and Don. She seemed like the odd woman out.
02:35Kimberly and Don Jr. may try to keep things under wraps for now, but we wouldn't be surprised
02:39to see these two go their separate ways after the election.
