Donald Trump Jr. ‘seen kissing glamorous Palm Beach socialite’

Donald Trump Jr. has been caught locking lips with a Republican Palm Beach socialite – and it isn’t his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

The former president’s son was spotted canoodling with glamorous ‘it girl’ Bettina Anderson, 37, during an intimate brunch date last month – and sources tell DailyMail.com the romance is the talk of Palm Beach.

Exclusive DailyMail.com pictures show Don Jr.’s rendezvous with the model, influencer, and philanthropist at The Honor Bar, located inside Palm Beach’s swanky Royal Poinciana Plaza shopping center on August 17. 

And witnesses to the close encounter say it was clear this was definitely no business meeting, with one revealing the blonde beauty was seen reaching over to plant a sexy kiss on Don Jr.’s lips three times. 

‘She seemed totally smitten with Don – and he with her,’ the insider told DailyMail.com.

‘They looked totally relaxed, she wearing a white shirt tied off to show her midriff and wide leg pants, he in shorts and a t-shirt.’

The former president’s son, who began dating Guilfoyle shortly after his split from first wife Vanessa Trump in 2018, was spotted locking lips with the model during the outing, according to witnesses 

At one point she also reached down below the table, put her hand on his thigh and rubbed it, another source who witnessed the outing told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘They were definitely on a date,’ the first witness said.

‘They weren’t exactly making out, but the kisses were romantic, and you could tell they were intimate with each other.’

A third person told DailyMail.com; ‘I guess they’re not trying to hide it. They’ve been seen together all over Palm Beach.’

Don Jr. was last seen with his 55-year-old fiancée at the MAGA Boat Parade in Palm Beach County on August 18, the day after his intimate meal with Bettina. 

He has since been on the campaign trail helping his father’s bid to regain the White House. 

And certainly it was clear that this was not the first time the couple had been to the bar.

After Donald Jr, 46, indicated what he wanted to eat, his stunning companion was heard saying: ‘Oh, you’re getting that? You don’t usually get that.’

They also clearly knew the waiter, telling him at one point that they were planning a trip to Islamorada, a resort destination in the Florida Keys.

The Honor Bar – which is located less than four miles from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate – was a natural choice for cozy adult time together.

Its richly paneled walls and cozy atmosphere, including sumptuously padded booths, make it the perfect setting for an enjoyable tête-à-tête away from the outdoor dining options nearby.

The menu includes a $22 Honor Burger and Tuna Tartare for $28, while a Reissdorf Kolsch beer from Germany is $10.

The restaurant boasts on its website that it is not intended for large parties or young children.

‘We do not offer child seating nor do we allow strollers in the dining room,’ it states. ‘We prefer more intimate experiences serving parties of two.’

It even tells clients that as the staff ‘takes pride in their appearance’ they should too.

‘Guest attire can elevate or diminish the experience of others. We consider hats, tank tops, flip flops and team athletic too casual.’

Don Jr., however, was sailing close to the wind on August 17 with his casual look for his date with Bettina. 

Anderson is well known in Palm Beach for her good works. 

Her father, Harry Loy Anderson Jr., was the youngest president of Worth Avenue National Bank at 26. He died aged 70 in 2013.

Her 74-year-old mother Inger has an $11.5million home in an exclusive section of Palm Beach.

But Bettina lives in a relatively modest $860,000 three-bed townhouse in West Palm Beach.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Don Jr. and Bettina for comment. 

The rendezvous at The Honor Bar came just four months after Don Jr. showered his fiancée Kimberly with loving words on social media to mark their sixth year together.

‘Happy 6 year anniversary @kimberlyguilfoyle thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way. I love you,’ he gushed in an Instagram post. 

The intimate outing comes just a few months after Don Jr. gushed over fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle in an Instagram post celebrating their six-year anniversary in May

It garnered 89,135 likes and 3008 comments.

Guilfoyle, nine years his senior, wrote to mark the occasion: ‘You are my best friend and my soulmate. Here’s to us and out incredibly blessed life we share together. Looking forward to creating new memories and enjoying more adventures together.’

The couple live in a $15.5million waterfront mansion in an ultra-secure development in Jupiter, 20 miles north of Palm Beach.

They jointly bought the huge spread, which has a large triple-engine boat sitting in the dock at the front, for $9.7million in April 2021, four months after getting engaged.

The Spanish-style pile, which has six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, is a regular scene for the couple’s reported lavish parties.

Donald Jr. has an alleged history of not staying faithful.

Singer Aubrey O’Day claims she had an affair with him in the early 2010s when he was married to Vanessa Trump, the mother of his five children. They divorced in 2018.

In a podcast interview, the one-time Danity Kane singer said that the ex-president’s former lawyer Michael Cohen spent nearly a decade covering it up to keep it out of the media.

In another interview she said Trump Jr. had changed from someone who was ‘fiscally a Republican, but everything else was not.

‘I just kind of saw him sell out,’ she said.

But Anderson is a registered Republican who has shown off her GOP credentials this year in a close-up selfie with Donald Jr’s half-sister Tiffany, 30, and in a photo hugging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at an event.

She has visited Mar-a-Lago, posing for photos in designer clothing. In one shot on her social media, she is snapped outside the resort with her mother. 

In another society shot she’s enjoying a lavish 2023 New Years Eve celebration in a black floor-length dress next to her mom, who is in a glittery black number. The photo is on her Instagram feed in a folder called PB Season ’23.

Needless to say, she follows Don Jr. – and his 17-year-old budding golf star daughter Kai – on Instagram.

A New York Times piece on Palm Beach society described Anderson as ‘statuesque’ when it reported on a glittering social event in 2014 that she was helping to organize.

Another in 2022, also focusing on the party scene, said she models for magazines and works for the Paradise Fund, a charitable organization ‘she founded with other philanthropists to protect the environment and at-risk citizens’.

Anderson’s Instagram page is filled with glitzy shots and videos of her posing in designer clothes on deserted beaches and other upscale locations.

She describes herself on the social media platform with the words: ‘Your typical stay at home mom… only I don’t do household chores… or have a husband… or have kids’.

In one post she writes: ‘I told my mom that I think I’m a ‘people pleaser’ and her response was ‘are you tho? Who exactly would you say you are pleasing?’

Meanwhile, her profile with online designer store Moda Operandi – which features her modeling outfits – says: ‘Her style, like her personality, blends flirty femininity with a spicy sense of humor and embraces a broad range of brands.

‘Whether she’s headed out for a night in a show-stopping Oscar de la Renta mini, sporting a Zimmerman one-piece poolside, or hosting at home in a matching set from Cult Gaia, she’s a walking paragon of style.

‘She’s also the perennial ‘life of the party’ defying Palm Beach stereotypes and rewriting the rules of womanhood along the way.’

Her style tip was ‘knowing your body and having confidence in whatever you wear’. And she revealed: ‘I love creating intimate and memorable experiences with friends.’

A profile in the local edition of Avenue Magazine says simply: ‘Every town has an ‘It’ girl and in Palm Beach it’s Anderson.’
