In a surprising move, Donald Trump has nominated his son’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, for a prestigious U.S. diplomatic position just one day after Donald Trump Jr. was photographed holding hands with a different woman. On Tuesday, December 10, the former president announced on Truth Social that he had nominated Guilfoyle to become the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, a role that carries significant responsibility in fostering international relations.
According to Path to Foreign Service, ambassadors are the highest-ranking diplomats chosen by their government to represent the nation in another country. They are tasked with maintaining strong bilateral relationships, advocating for their country’s interests, and serving as the official spokesperson abroad. In this case, Donald Trump believes that Guilfoyle is “perfectly suited” to represent the United States in Greece, a country with which he plans to strengthen ties on matters ranging from defense cooperation to trade and innovation.
The timing of Trump’s announcement couldn’t be more intriguing. Just a day before the nomination, Daily Mail published exclusive photos of Donald Trump Jr. walking hand-in-hand with Florida socialite Bettina Anderson during a birthday celebration in Palm Beach. Despite the clear affection captured in the images, both Don Jr. and Anderson have yet to comment publicly on the matter, leaving many to speculate about the current state of his relationship with Guilfoyle.
Don Jr. and Guilfoyle have been engaged since 2020, and their relationship has been a subject of public fascination since its inception. Their romance began in 2018, after Don Jr.’s divorce from his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, with whom he shares five children. The pair quickly became inseparable, with Guilfoyle openly discussing their strong connection in interviews. In a 2022 conversation with Metropolitan Palm Beach Magazine, she described their bond as “sparks” from their first date, adding that their chemistry was instant and undeniable.
“In fact, we have been together from that night on, happily ever after,” she recalled. “We are a perfect match. We are similar in many ways and beautifully complement one another in other ways—a true yin and yang. We share the same inner passion and fighting spirit.”
Despite the personal drama unfolding in the background, Donald Trump has voiced strong support for Guilfoyle’s qualifications for the ambassadorship. “Kimberly has been a close friend and ally for many years,” Trump wrote, emphasizing that her “extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics” make her a standout candidate to represent the U.S. in Greece. According to Trump, Guilfoyle’s sharp intellect and experience make her well-suited to safeguard the country’s interests on the world stage.
The nomination comes at a time when Guilfoyle’s career is experiencing a noticeable upward trajectory. The former Fox News host and assistant district attorney has made a name for herself in both media and political circles, and her role as a key figure in Donald Trump’s orbit has further solidified her public persona. Her ambassadorial nomination signals that her influence in both conservative politics and public life may soon extend beyond media appearances into the realm of global diplomacy.
However, recent reports have cast a shadow over the couple’s otherwise picture-perfect relationship. Sources close to the family have claimed that Don Jr. and Guilfoyle have been spending considerable time apart, with Don Jr. being described as “more independent” than his fiancée. At the same time, rumors of him quietly seeing Bettina Anderson have added fuel to speculation about the state of his engagement.
Despite the swirling rumors, neither Trump Jr. nor Anderson has publicly addressed the photos or their connection, leading many to wonder if the couple is facing challenges behind the scenes. For now, the focus remains on the political and personal moves unfolding in the Trump family, with Guilfoyle’s new ambassadorial nomination marking a major step in her career—one that comes with both significant prestige and the potential for more scrutiny, given the timing and her personal life’s ongoing tabloid coverage.
