Trump wedding on the cards? All about Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson's romance and their ‘sooner than later' marriage plans
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, seems to be entering a new chapter in his personal life – and moving quite fast in that direction.
Not long after the rumors of Vanessa Trump's – Donny Jr.'s ex-wife – wedding bells with ace golfer Tiger Woods hit the stands, the US President's eldest son is following suit.
Since going public last winter with Bettina Anderson, a vibrant Palm Beach socialite and philanthropist, the couple's bond has apparently only deepened. After beginning their relationship in summer 2024 and moving in together by December, the pair have made waves and grabbed attention with their PDA-filled outings, especially at high-profile events – from Mar‑a‑Lago gatherings to the FIFA Club World Cup final.
And now, rumors have it that the couple might be looking forward to taking their relationship to the 'next level'.
Do we hear wedding bells ringing? Before that happens, let's take a look at Donald Trump Jr.'s year-long romance that's lurking around the altar.
The start of a summer romance
Donald Trump Jr. (47) and Bettina Anderson's (38) relationship quietly began in mid‑2024 – August 2024 – only a year ago. Within a few months of their green romance, the pair went public with their affectionate appearance surfacing in December.

By January 2025, the couple had moved in together, living together in Palm Beach at Bettina's townhome. The couple has since become fixtures at family and political gatherings.
Their debut occurred at the 2025 inauguration events, where Anderson appeared gracefully by Trump Jr.'s side, earned praise from in-laws like Marla Maples, and attended several White House festivities. Along the way, they've also attended galas, charity events, Super Bowl parties, and golf tournaments together, reinforcing that their partnership spans both personal and public spheres.
What started as a summer romance ripened into a bond that insiders describe as 'really cute and loving.'
The public declaration of love
Donald Trump Jr. is no stranger to flashes of cameras, and nor is Bettina Anderson – her, being a socialite. However, the pair has navigated their romance with fun and poise throughout the media scrutiny. There has never been a death of PDA. In fact, public displays of affection have become hallmark moments for the couple.
From spontaneous kisses on the tarmac at Teterboro Airport to affectionate hugs at the FIFA Club World Cup final, their love is unmistakable.
What's more, only a few days back, the couple coordinated their white shirt moment, laden with heaps of hugs as they arrived alongside President Trump. Even at formal events, they're often photographed in affectionate poses, signaling deep comfort with public displays without going too overboard.
The family integration
Now, this one's a really important and crucial aspect. Bettina reportedly has been embraced by the Trump clan. She was warmly received at the inauguration, Christmas dinner,

's baby shower, and other family events, including a notable dinner at Mar‑a‑Lago filled with lighthearted moments.
What's more is that Anderson has been seen warmly interacting with Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe – Trump Jr.'s five children – which speaks for the family harmony, and paves the path for a potentially blended family – if that happens in the future.
Cherry on top? Anderson has been accepted and appreciated by the senior members of the Trump clan as well. Marla Maples publicly complimented her beauty and character, while the former President reportedly greeted the couple at Mar‑a‑Lago with approval – a subtle yet powerful nod to her inclusion in the family.
When's the big day?
With all the rumors swirling around their relationship, Trump Jr. and Anderson's close circle might be expecting some good news in the near future. However, the couple has yet to address any update on their potential engagement officially. Following the usual pattern, the couple might opt for an intimate ceremony given their family ties and mutual desire for togetherness.
Anderson might have some time before she puts on the white wedding dress; for now, she sure looked overjoyed in her color-coordinated white shirt moment with her businessman beau!

Aamir Khan's hilarious ‘Baap-Beta' ad with ‘nepo kid' Junaid sets social media abuzz: ‘Funnier than his last few films'
Bollywood star Aamir Khan's latest movie, Sitaare Zameen Par, is now available on YouTube for just ₹ 100. But the Internet is still hooked on its hilarious ad featuring 'nepo kid' Junaid Khan. The advertisement to announce Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube, titled 'Baap-Bete Ki Nayi Scheme,' showed a light-hearted banter between the father-son duo, who also take a comic dig at rejecting OTT deals worth over ₹ 100 crore. In the ad, which has got the social media abuzz with reactions, Aamir also roasted Junaid for his not-so-bright ideas, saying that they have 'ruined' him. But Aamir Khan fans were most delighted when he acknowledged that his previous few movies, including Laal Singh Chaddha and Thugs of Hindostan, were a major mood killer for his audience. In the ad, a happy Aamir Khan walks into his home only to find a man watching Sitaare Zameen Par on his phone. Agitated upon seeing his movie on a phone screen, since it hasn't been released on OTT, Aamir confronts the man, who tells him about his son Junaid's new scheme. Aamir then rushes to confront Junaid, who butters him up with the OG 'maha purush' joke. However, an adamant Aamir tells Junaid that his ideas have always ended up ruining him, and mentions the Forrest Gump remake as Laal Singh Chaddha and the making of Thugs of Hindostan. 'Mene ₹ 100 crore ka offer reject kr dia hai, aur YouTube pr daal dia hai sirf ₹ 100 mai,' Junaid tells Aamir his bright new idea of releasing Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube for ₹ 100. Taken aback by the likely loss, Aamir insults Junaid for releasing Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube and calls him a 'nepo kid'. Social media users were thrilled to watch the 'hilarious' advertisement and said it brought back memories of 90s hit Andaz Apna Apna. 'Ngl but this is funnier than Aamir Khan's last few films,' said a user. 'Best advertisement!' another added. A netizen highlighted: 'Aamir Khan giving amar vibes from Andaz Apna Apna.' To which another chimed in saying, 'It is funnier because they are using andaaz apna apna scenes.' 'Yeh bhi to remake hai,' added another user. Netizens also lauded the star's ability to laugh at himself and said, 'Aamir Khan might be the only superstar who openly jokes about his own flop films. That's why his fans don't fight on social media, they are the first to admit when a movie doesn't work. Never change, Aamir Khan. We love you.' 'Aamir still got the comic timing at 60 - i love his new power of laughing at himself,' another added. They also noted that the ad was funnier than most comedy movies these days. 'Believe me sir this two minute video was more funnier than the whole housefull five movie,' said a user. 'So hilarious! Aamir never lost his edge in comedy,' another said. 'Truly commendable to have directly putting the film on YouTube so people can buy and have a sense of ownership. Fantastic stuff!' they added. Netizens were the happiest by Aamir's 'nepo kid' dig at Junaid and said, ''Nepo kid' was personal.' 'I lost it when he said Nepooo kidddd,' another added.
