Donald Trump Jr.’s new girlfriend Bettina Anderson is apparently flaunting her new relationship on social media as the couple gets more serious.
Bettina, 38, posted a series of snaps of a gun and a hunting dog as she teases taking part in one of Don Jr’s favorite pastimes.
Although he does not appear in Instagram posts, Don Jr., 46, is a well-known avid hunter and outdoorsman.
It’s another sign that his relationship with the Palm Beach socialite is getting even more serious in recent weeks.
Anderson has publicly posted photos of love letters and flowers sent to her by Don Jr. and has also openly documented her recent lavish getaway to Italy.
He also brought his new love to the Trump family’s Christmas celebration at Mar-a-Lago this week.
Trump’s eldest son was photographed alongside Anderson as the two dined with the rest of the president-elect’s family on Christmas Eve in Palm Beach.
Anderson, dressed in a red dress, was flanked between Trump and another man, although her face is not seen in the photo, which was shared on X.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, Trump Jr.’s former fiancée of four years, apparently was not at Trump’s dinner this year.
She has been given the role of US ambassador to Greece following news of her breakup with Trump Jr.
It comes as Trump family insiders and friends are reportedly doing everything they can to get Don Jr. to end his new relationship with the Palm Beach socialite.

It’s another sign that his relationship with the Palm Beach socialite is getting even more serious in recent weeks.
Allies of the president’s eldest son are worried his new love isn’t ‘MAGA enough’ after his previous support of the Black Lives Matter movement and strict COVID rules.
And now they’re also expressing concern that her notorious Palm Beach party girl reputation isn’t intellectual enough to associate with the first family.
Others say Anderson is trying to use Don Jr. as a “stepping stone” to “even bigger fish,” which may include Elon Musk.

It comes as Trump family insiders and friends are reportedly doing everything they can to get Don Jr., 46, to end his new relationship with the Palm Beach socialite. They are photographed on December 9.
Someone who works in the modeling business and has known Anderson for years in the industry speculated with DailyMail.com that he is trying to break into billionaire Elon Musk’s inner circle.
Musk, known as the “first friend,” has been at the president-elect’s side since the 2024 election on Nov. 5. He was chosen to lead the new DOGE agency to eradicate waste from the federal government.
Those in Palm Beach who have known Anderson for decades say she regularly dates wealthy older men who fit her upper-class lifestyle.
The couple went public with their relationship immediately before her father was sworn in as the nation’s 47th president on January 20, 2025.

Anderson plans to join Don Jr. at Trump’s inauguration next month, a source told DailyMail.com, which would be his first public event alongside his first son.
“It’s one thing to worry that Palm Beach shenanigans will make a stop at Mar-a-Lago,” said a source close to the transition team. “But letting those problems penetrate the White House is a new level of problems.”
At least two people close to Don Jr. allege that she is just using her friend as her latest step in her ‘social climb’ and carefree influencer lifestyle.
But his sudden publicity doesn’t seem to bother the first child, as he and Anderson jetted off to Italy for a romantic getaway days after news of their relationship broke.

When Trump Jr’s romance with Anderson emerged, the divorced father of five was still publicly engaged to former Fox News host Guilfoyle. The former couple will be seen in 2023.
Rumors about her relationship with Don Jr. first began in September when images emerged of the couple kissing and hugging while dining at a restaurant near Trump’s South Florida residence.
At the time, the divorced father of five was still publicly engaged to former Fox News host Guilfoyle.
