Washington Examiner, December 2024
Kimberly Guilfoyle‘s relationship with Don Trump Jr. may be over, but her relationship with the Trump family is not. President-elect Donald Trump announcing Guilfoyle as his presumptive nominee to become the next U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday coincided with new photos of Trump Jr. holding hands with his new girlfriend, Florida socialite Bettina Anderson, in Palm Beach. A source close to the couple told the Washington Examiner that Guilfoyle’s nomination is unrelated to the end of her six-year relationship with Trump Jr. But, it also prevents the possibility of Guilfoyle creating public relations problems for the president-elect before and during his second administration, which is set to start in January after the inauguration. “This had nothing to do with her personal relationship with Don,” a source familiar told the Washington Examiner. “The ambassadorship to Greece is something she has wanted, if Trump won, dating back nearly a year now.”
Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor before she became a media personality and Fox News host, has been a prominent supporter of Trump, appearing at political events on his behalf and raising millions of dollars for his campaigns, particularly in her role as the Trump Victory Committee’s finance chairwoman in 2020 though, the panel was reportedly plagued with personnel issues under her leadership. Her speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention also went viral online, in part, because of her passionate delivery.
