Despite rumors and speculation about her relationship with Donald Trump Jr., and her apparent preparation for the inauguration, Bettina Anderson was not present at the event. This absence raises questions about the status of their relationship and Anderson's integration into the Trump family circle.
Donald Trump Jr. ’s new socialite girlfriend Bettina Anderson was nowhere to be seen during Donald Trump’s swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol at noon Monday, even though it appears that she was dressed in a designer outfit and ready to head to the inauguration several hours earlier. But the Palm Beach model and influencer wasn’t included in the the seats occupied by Trump Jr. and other Trump family members in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, the Daily Beast said. She also wasn’t Trump Jr.
’s date to the inaugural lunch, where the president’s oldest son instead sat with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. She also didn’t join the family at Trump’s inaugural parade, which moved inside to the Capital One Arena, due to frigid temperatures in Washington D.C. That Instagram photo of Anderson’s “Inauguration Glam” raises questions about whether Anderson was supposed be at the inauguration but had her appearance called off at the last minute — and, if so, by whom.The Daily Beast and other outlets have reported in recent weeks that friends and members of the Trump family have become wary of Anderson, who began a romance with Trump Jr. last year when he was still engaged to MAGA firebrand Kimberly Guilfoyle. That the 37-year-old Anderson is seen as a shallow influencer and “social climber” who is “not MAGA enough,” while several family sources that the president “does not approve of his son’s association with Bettina” because of her habit of partying and dating wealthy men. Anderson’s absence from the inauguration also is noteworthy given that Guilfoyle was invited to the ceremony. While Guilfoyle didn’t sit with the Trump family, as she might have as Trump Jr.’s fiancee, the former Fox News host and ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom did enjoy a seat among the elected officials and other dignitaries in the rotunda’s audience. That honor may be due to her status as a loyal fundraiser and Trump’s nominee to become the ambassador to Greece. Meanwhile, Anderson is just known as Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, and it’s not yet clear how much she’s been admitted to the Trump inner circle.On one hand, she was “front and center” at pre-inaugural festivities over the weekend, despite Trumpworld doubts, the Daily Beast reported. Anderson was part of the Trump family entourage on Saturday night as they watched fireworks during a reception held at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, the Daily Beast said. On Sunday evening, she accompanied Trump Jr. to a candlelight dinner for the incoming president, photos show. Later Sunday, she and Trump Jr. attended the Turning Point USA Inaugural Eve Ball, where the two got up on stage with incoming Vice President J.D. Vance and danced to the Village People playing “YMCA.” Trump family and friends had expressed concerns about her being Trump Jr.’s date to the inauguration itself, a move that would cement her position as a public face of the new first family. They said she should be barred from the ceremony. “The idea that he might have the audacity to bring a casual partner on stage at the inauguration has been described as a potential misstep that could etch this relationship, and its questionable nature, into the history books,” a family friend told Mediaite. If it turns out that Anderson was barred from the inauguration, it’s possible that she understands the reasons why — that her relationship with Trump Jr. hasn’t reached a certain level of seriousness. It’s also possible that she’ll turn up with Trump Jr. at any of the three official inaugural balls on Monday night, and at any of the 17 unofficial parties throughout the city. Trump Jr.’s relationship with Anderson first became an “open secret” in Palm Beach and the subject of tabloid gossip in the late summer. The gossip was that the 46-year-old Trump Jr. had begun “fooling around” with Anderson, even while he was still engaged to Guilfoyle, 55. Rumors about the “dalliance” began when photos emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling while dining at a restaurant near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Trump Jr.’s relationship with Anderson gained public recognition in early December, after Trump won the election and announced that he was nominating Guilfoyle to be his ambassador to Greece
