Donald Trump Jr.’s brand new bride, wife Bettina Trump, is honoring her husband on their first Father’s Day as a married couple.
“Happy Father’s Day to the most incredible dad,” Bettina wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, June 21, over a photo of Donald Jr. posting alongside his five children. “Your love for your kids is real, constant, and seen in everything you do… how hard you work for them, how you protect them, how much you provide, and how intentionally you create memories and experiences they’ll have for the rest of their lives.”
Donald Jr. shares Kai, 19, Donald Trump III, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 12, with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump. (The pair wed in 2005 and divorced in 2018.) Donald Jr. later moved on with fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle, getting engaged in January 2022 before calling things off one year later.
Don Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, was later romantically linked to Bettina in late 2024.
“He likes her a lot and has a lot of respect for her,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly of the pair’s romance at the time, adding that he is “smitten” with the socialite and thinks she is “very smart.”

“When it comes to his relationship with Bettina it’s just about them,” the source added. “He wants a partner. She doesn’t need anything from him and just wants to be with him.”
The pair later secretly wed in Florida on May 21 before walking down the wedding aisle during a private ceremony in the Bahamas, according to court documents obtained by Us at the time. The legal document was signed off by a deputy clerk, with real estate attorney Brad McPherson officiating the proceeding.
The wedding was infamously not attended by President Trump, who claimed he was too busy with the war in Iran to attend his son’s nuptials. (The president did, however, attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, sparking instant backlash after the Knicks’ loss. The team went on to win the series in five games.)
“No one who truly knows you could ever question your heart as a father,” Bettina continued in her Sunday Father’s Day Tribute. “Watching the way you love your children is one of the things I admire most about you, and I can’t wait to make even more memories together and add to this beautiful family.”
His new bride ended the post by simply writing, “We love you so much @donaldtrumpjr.”
Bettina then shared additional photos of Don Jr. posing with his children, including one alongside his father in front of Marine Force One and another at Camp David.
