Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, made a glamorous appearance at the amfAR Palm Beach gala on Saturday, just days after news surfaced that his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, is dating golf legend Tiger Woods.
The 47-year-old businessman and the 38-year-old socialite arrived in style, posing together on the red carpet. Trump Jr. sported a tailored blue suit paired with a crisp white button-up shirt, while Anderson dazzled in a silver sequined minidress.
The event, held in Palm Beach, honored lifestyle icon Martha Stewart with the prestigious Award of Inspiration. Trump Jr. and Anderson mingled with guests, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, as they enjoyed the star-studded evening.
Vanessa Trump’s New Romance With Tiger Woods
The couple’s public outing came shortly after Vanessa Trump’s relationship with Woods made headlines. Sources revealed that the romance, which began in late 2024, is still in the early stages but appears to be progressing.
A close insider described the relationship as “not too serious yet, but moving in that direction.” The source added that Vanessa and Woods share similar values, prefer to keep their personal lives private, and understand the pressures of living under public scrutiny.
The connection between the two reportedly started through their children. Vanessa’s 17-year-old daughter, Kai Trump, attends the same school as Woods’ children, Sam, 17, and Charlie, 16, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.
Donald Trump Jr.’s Reaction to Vanessa’s Relationship
Despite the surprising nature of Vanessa’s new romance, sources indicate that Trump Jr. is supportive of her relationship with Woods. Insiders claim that he “approves” of the pairing and acknowledges that his father, former President Donald Trump, has a strong friendship with the professional golfer.
Trump Jr. and Vanessa, both 47, were married for 13 years before finalizing their divorce in 2018. They share five children: Kai, Donald III, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10.
Meanwhile, Trump Jr. has been in a relationship with Anderson since late 2024. The couple confirmed their romance in December and have since been spotted together at high-profile events.
A Low-Key Love Story
While Woods and Vanessa have managed to keep their relationship private, sources say their connection was unexpected. Initially, Woods hesitated to pursue a romantic relationship due to his friendship with the former president. However, over time, their conversations moved beyond parenting, and mutual feelings developed.
Vanessa has kept her dating life out of the public eye, preferring to avoid media attention. However, sources close to her reveal that she is “happier than she has been in years” and that her relationship with Woods has brought her a newfound sense of stability.
As the Trump family and Woods’ inner circle adjust to the new relationship dynamics, all eyes remain on how this unexpected romance will unfold in the public spotlight.
