Will Vanessa Trump Attend Ex-Husband Donald Trump Jr's Wedding To Bettie Anderson? Their Dynamic Now

Wedding bells are ringing in the White House, as President Donald Trump's son, Donald "Don" Jr., is preparing to marry his long-time fiancée, Bettina Anderson, in an intimate Bahamas ceremony this weekend. With the president's attendance already uncertain, people are wondering whether Don Jr.'s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, will make an appearance on his big day.

The wedding has already sparked conversations after Trump publicly admitted that he may skip the event due to the ongoing Iran conflict. Now, the attention has shifted toward Vanessa and where she stands with her former husband and the Trump family years after their divorce.

Are Vanessa Trump and Donald Trump Jr. still on good terms?

Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. first met in 2003 after being introduced by Donald Trump himself at a fashion show, as per a New York Times report. After dating for nearly two years, the couple got married on November 13, 2005, at the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. During their 13-year marriage, Vanessa and Donald Jr. welcomed five children together: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.

Following their divorce in 2018, the former spouses released a joint statement, emphasising that they still had "tremendous respect" for one another and their families. The former couple also made it clear that their five children would remain their top priority as they moved forward separately. And that statement proves true to date. In fact, it was Vanessa, who had publicly defended Don Jr.'s relationship with his former fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, in 2018, asking the media to stop attacking women connected to her ex-husband or spreading fake rumours for the tabloid.

Vanessa has since moved on with golfing legend Tiger Woods, a relationship which has been strongly approved by President Trump. Sources close to the family later claimed that Donald Trump Jr. was supportive of the relationship as well, while Donald Trump himself publicly gave the couple his blessing.

Will Vanessa Trump be present at Donald Jr.'s wedding?

Vanessa and Donald Jr. have remained on good terms over the years, and Vanessa’s ongoing ties to the Trump family have been positive, to say the least. If not openly, many believe she could quietly attend the private ceremony, especially for the sake of their children, who are expected to be part of the celebrations. 

The wedding itself is reportedly being kept small and low-key, with close family and friends invited to the Bahamas event over Memorial Day weekend. However, the possibility of Vanessa's attendance at the wedding now remains uncertain, given her recent breast cancer diagnosis and its ongoing treatment.

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson's love story 

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson were first linked publicly in August 2024, at a time when he was still reportedly engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. Over the following months, the pair increasingly appeared together at events in Palm Beach and alongside members of the Trump family. Their engagement became official in December 2025 after President Donald Trump revealed the news during a White House event. Bettina said "Yes", and she has since become a regular presence at major Trump family gatherings and public appearances.

Born and raised in Palm Beach, Florida, Bettina Anderson comes from a prominent and affluent family. She is the daughter of entrepreneur Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and philanthropist Inger Anderson. A socialite herself, her work largely focuses on nonprofit and environmental work. She co-founded her own charity organisation, The Paradise Fund, with her brothers, where she currently serves as executive director. She reportedly shares a good bond with Don Jr. and Vanessa's five children.
