“Don and Bettina are wonderful together. I’m so proud to have witnessed so much of their journey as a couple,” Eric Trump told Page Six.
“They truly light up around each other, and it’s been amazing watching their story unfold. Couldn’t be happier for them on their special day.”
“Bettina and Don Jr. got married on a glorious day in a place where they often visit,” a source told People magazine.
The couple reportedly considered holding the wedding at the White House, but ultimately opted for a more low-key celebration amid ongoing tensions due to the war in Iran.

A larger celebration with extended family and friends is expected later this year, with the White House still a possible venue, according to reports.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he would not attend the ceremony, citing official responsibilities in Washington.
“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon-to-be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” the president wrote on Truth Social.
“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.”
The president’s statement came one day after the couple legally married in Palm Beach, Florida.
The wedding follows Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson’s engagement in December 2025 after roughly a year of dating.
Anderson, 39, is a philanthropist and model who has become a familiar presence at Trump family events in Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago over the past year.
