Kimberly Guilfoyle, fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., was reportedly caught off guard by recent photos showing him sharing an intimate lunch with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.

According to Daily Mail Online, friends claim Guilfoyle had been turning a blind eye to rumors about her fiancé's alleged wandering eye.

The former Fox News host, 55, has been dating the former president's son since 2018, following his divorce from his first wife, Vanessa. The couple announced their engagement in 2022, with Guilfoyle becoming a prominent figure in Trump's inner circle and campaign. However, recent events have cast a shadow over their relationship.

Intimate Lunch Sparks Speculation About Relationship

Sources close to the couple revealed that Guilfoyle was blindsided by the photos of Don Jr., 46, reportedly canoodling with heiress Bettina Anderson, 37, during a lunch in Palm Beach, Florida, last month. The images, which were published over the weekend, have raised questions about the state of their engagement.

An insider told the Daily Mail, "Kimberly either didn't know about Bettina – or didn't want to know. Did she hear whispers that Don Jr. was fooling around with someone else? Probably." The source added that while Guilfoyle is no fool, it's easy to deceive oneself when deeply committed to a relationship.

The lunch in question took place at The Honor Bar, located inside Palm Beach's upscale Royal Poinciana Plaza shopping center.

Sources claim that Don Jr.'s association with Anderson is an open secret in the ritzy Florida town, with the pair frequently spotted enjoying each other's company.

Guilfoyle's Past Relationships and Political Involvement

Guilfoyle's relationship with Don Jr. began in 2018, just three months after his ex-wife Vanessa filed for divorce. At 55, the San Francisco-born former prosecutor is nine years older than Don Jr. and has been married twice before.

Her first marriage to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom ended in 2005 after he reportedly cheated on her. Guilfoyle's second marriage to furniture heir Eric Villency lasted from 2006 to 2009, during which time they had a son, Ronan.

Since becoming involved with Don Jr., Guilfoyle has taken on a high-profile role in the Trump campaign, frequently delivering speeches at rallies and making appearances. The couple has appeared to be deeply committed, with Don Jr. recently celebrating their six-year anniversary on social media.

Uncertain Future for the High-Profile Couple

Despite Don Jr.'s apparent openness about his association with Anderson, sources suggest that this doesn't necessarily spell the end of his engagement to Guilfoyle.

The insider explained:

What happens now is anyone's guess. Will she stick? Will he dump her? She has been so entrenched in the campaign it would look bad to humiliate her. But you could see the writing on the wall at the convention. Sure, she was given a platform but the vibrations in the former president's box were not good ones between her and Don. She seemed odd woman out.

The couple currently resides in a $15.5 million waterfront mansion in Jupiter, Florida, which they jointly purchased in April 2021. Neither Guilfoyle nor Don Jr. have publicly commented on the recent revelations.

Public Appearances and Social Media Activity

Despite the controversy, Guilfoyle and Don Jr. were seen presenting a united front at an event in Kentucky on Saturday.

Following an alleged attempt on former President Trump's life on Sunday, both took to Instagram to show support, with Guilfoyle reposting a message from Don Jr. to his father.

The original post included a screenshot of Trump's message released after the incident, captioned simply, "Again, folks!" This public display of solidarity comes at a time when their relationship is under intense scrutiny.

In conclusion, Kimberly Guilfoyle was reportedly blindsided by photos of Donald Trump Jr.'s intimate lunch with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. Friends claim Guilfoyle had been in denial about rumors of her fiancé's wandering eye.

The couple, engaged since 2022, have been prominent figures in Trump's campaign. Despite the controversy, they continue to present a united front in public appearances and on social media. The future of their relationship remains uncertain as they navigate this public scrutiny.
