The New York City socialite scene has a rising star on its hands and Bettina Anderson is up for the challenge. If that name doesn’t sound familiar to you, she’s better known as Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend. His ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle might have played the political game better, but Anderson is reportedly nailing her social duties.
Anderson knew ahead of dating Donald Trump’s eldest son that the scrutiny would be difficult because of the divisive nature of politics. Still, she rose to the challenge. “She knows who she is, and is proud of her looks which she flaunts,” a Miami insider told People in January. “But she understands that she needs to look and act responsible and never overshadow the rest of the family.”

The start of Donald Jr. and Anderson’s relationship appears to have overlapped with his engagement to Guilfoyle, who had been a big part of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. It was one of the reasons the president was reportedly hesitant about his son’s new romance. Anderson allegedly had a “reputation for hard partying and a pattern of dating wealthy men in the affluent Florida enclave,” per Mediaite, but those concerns seem to have dissipated since he took office.
On March 13, Anderson was front and center at the Art Production Fund Gala in Manhattan. Per the Daily Mail, the 38-year-old socialite found herself spending time with Nicky Hilton and engaging in conversation with Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia. The fashion designer dressed Anderson in a stunning yellow gown with a high slit to show off her long, toned legs. She shared snapshots from the glamorous night and captioned the post, “Last night’s magic at the Art Production Fund Gala with my best girls in NYC. #bestgirlenergy.”
It’s unclear if Anderson will be a part of Donald Trump’s administration, but ahead of his inauguration, it was rumored that she desired a philanthropic role. According to the New York Post, she was hoping to serve on one of Donald Trump’s “community outreach boards or advisory committees” with a spot on the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities as the ultimate goal. She wanted to be an asset in bringing together “the more sophisticated and liberal Hamptons and Palm Beach types of people” to Donald Trump’s term.
With Anderson’s profile beginning to rise, she might get her way. The Manhattan social scene has welcomed her with open arms, maybe Donald Trump is next.
