“Kimberly and I will always care for each other and maintain a unique bond,” Trump Jr., 46, remarked.

He also extended his congratulations to Guilfoyle, who is set to become President-elect Donald Trump’s U.S. ambassador to Greece.

“I couldn’t be prouder of her and the significant role she will continue to play in my father’s administration,” Trump Jr. stated.

In his message to Page Six, he took the opportunity to defend her against some potentially harmful stories that have surfaced regarding Guilfoyle since her nomination, many of which focus on her past relationship with the president’s son.

The latest issue that could jeopardize her Senate confirmation involves a resurfaced allegation claiming she sexually harassed her female assistant while at Fox News.

According to reports, this was the reason for her departure from Fox in 2018, although she has strongly denied the claim in the past.

“Anyone resorting to unfounded and trivial tabloid attacks against her is only embarrassing themselves,” Trump Jr. said.

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson left little doubt about where they stand during a dinner date at Mar-a-Lago just two days after they were seen leaving dinner in Palm Beach hand in hand in Palm Beach

Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson made their relationship clear during a dinner date at Mar-a-Lago, just two days after they were spotted leaving a Palm Beach restaurant hand in hand.

“She’s been an undefeated prosecutor, a national TV news personality, a leader of the MAGA movement, and a close advisor to the president. The people of Greece are gaining a true star, and now the entire world will recognize it more than ever,” he remarked.

He concluded his statement by saying, “From the very beginning, no one on Team Trump has worked harder than Kimberly to help elect and reelect my father—no one deserves this ambassadorship more than she does.”

This comes as DailyMail.com captured photographs of Trump Jr. and socialite Bettina Anderson walking hand in hand out of a trendy restaurant in Palm Beach, despite him not officially confirming his breakup with Guilfoyle.

The new couple spent nearly two hours at the popular downtown spot, Buccan, located three miles from Anderson’s townhouse in West Palm Beach, where they have been spending time together.

Trump Jr. was dressed in a sharp blue suit and an open-collared white shirt, showing no hesitation in flaunting his new partner as they exited the restaurant shortly before 10 PM.

Anderson, wearing loose black pants and a black vest-like top while holding a maroon purse with a gold clasp, stayed close to Trump Jr. as they approached his pickup truck parked directly across from the restaurant, their fingers intertwined.

DailyMail.com has previously reported that Anderson likely has been part of the same social circles as the Trumps for years and has been seen attending events at Mar-a-Lago.

According to one insider, “Trump insiders have known about Bettina for months,” and Don has been “eager to show her off at Mar-a-Lago.”

“She’s been there before, of course, but he’s been much more discreet about their relationship. And indeed, they are together,” an insider told DailyMail.com on Friday.

“He’s captivated by Bettina—her beauty, intelligence, and background. Now that Kim is no longer in the picture, their relationship is likely to become even more serious.”

Trump Jr. reportedly introduced his new girlfriend publicly during dinner at his father’s Mar-a-Lago club on Wednesday night.

Sources described the couple as “clearly in love,” noting that they didn’t attempt to conceal their affection as they “laughed and whispered to each other in the buffet line,” according to Page Six.

Insiders also revealed that Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle’s relationship began to deteriorate in March when she invited hundreds of guests to her 55th birthday celebration at their home in Jupiter, Florida. Reportedly, Trump Jr. was absent for parts of the evening, allegedly retreating to his bedroom.

Others suggest that Trump Jr. has grown increasingly uncomfortable with Guilfoyle’s revealing wardrobe, her vibrant public displays, and her penchant for a party lifestyle, which may clash with the Trump family’s growing awareness of its presidential legacy.

According to a former colleague at Fox News, the lawyer-turned-activist was often referred to as “the Margarita girl” due to her fondness for the popular cocktail and the party lifestyle that comes with it.

Trump Jr. also reportedly has a problem with Guilfoyle’s increasingly tight-fitting outfits (Guilfoyle is pictured at NYFW in 2019).

While there is no indication that Guilfoyle regularly drinks excessively, alcohol certainly plays a significant role in the Trump family dynamics.

Trump Jr., who has had his share of partying during his college years, is known to take his sobriety very seriously. His sister, Ivanka, also steers clear of alcohol.

Their father, Donald, is famously a teetotaler, a choice influenced by the alcoholism that led to the death of his older brother, Fred Jr., at just 42 years old.

According to People magazine, a source close to the family believes that Trump Jr.’s new partner will be a “better fit.”

“Don Jr. has always wanted to make a good impression on his father,” the source stated.

“Someone like Bettina, who has been a model and moves in the affluent circles of Palm Beach, is something that would impress him.”

Another source reportedly confirmed that Trump Jr. is not fond of Guilfoyle’s fashion choices, saying, “The tight dresses need to go, and she has been advised about that.”
