Bettina Anderson and Donald Trump Jr. tied the knot in a ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas on Saturday.
The couple said “I do” in front of an intimate group of approximately 40 people that included his five children, as well as his famous siblings, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany Trump, and their spouses.
Anderson’s family and a few very close friends of the bride were also present.
The pair were initially eyeing a White House wedding, but decided to tone things down due to the war in Iran. However, they plan on doing a larger celebration with friends and extended family later this year, possibly at the White House.
President Donald Trump said on Friday that he would not be attending the wedding.
“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” the Commander in Chief wrote via Truth Social Friday, one day after the pair legally tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida.
“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.”
We also exclusively reported the businessman popped the question at Camp David on Dec.13 when the pair were celebrating Anderson’s birthday.
She held her “enchanted garden”-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April attended by Ivanka, Lara Trump, Tiffany and Marla Maples. Kai Trump, 19, who is Trump Jr.’s daughter with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, also stopped by, according to a spy.
The luncheon was hosted by Palm Beach socialites Yaz Hernandez, Amy Phelan and Audrey Gruss with guests including Daphne Oz, Dina Powell McCormick, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Andrea Wynn and Bret Baier’s wife, Amy Baier.
Anderson and Don Jr. started dating in December 2024, as his engagement to his former fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, ended.
Don Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018. They share five children.
Anderson was previously engaged to chewing gum heir Beau Wrigley. She has never been married.
