While it’s unclear exactly how Trump Jr. and the Palm Beach socialite first crossed paths, the two have been linked for well over a year. They were first spotted together in late 2024, according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail. By New Year’s Eve, Anderson was firmly by Trump Jr.’s side at the family’s Mar-a-Lago celebration — making it clear the relationship was serious.
This marks Trump Jr.’s third engagement.
He was previously married to Vanessa Trump in 2005 at Mar-a-Lago. The couple divorced after over 12 years of marriage and share five children: Kai, 18; Donald III, 16; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 11.
Vanessa Trump is dating golf legend Tiger Woods.

Trump Jr. later became engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2020, although their relationship quietly ended amid swirling speculation, as he was increasingly seen with Anderson in Palm Beach.
It’s unclear when or how Trump Jr. proposed.
