Kimberly Guilfoyle was invited to the presidential inauguration, but it’s Bettina Anderson who will float into Donald Trump Jr.’s arms last night.

Despite her recent breakup with her son, President Trump’s chosen ambassador to Greece squeezed into the swearing-in ceremony indoors Monday morning, sitting in the back of the audience rather than with the returning First Family.

Getting a spot in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington DC was no easy task.

In what was wrongly reported as a possible last-minute snub, Don Jr.’s new love, 38, gave up the chance to witness the ceremony in person, to make room for the likes of Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Sundar Pichai and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta.

A source told DailyMail.com that even some eight-figure donors had to be left out of the event.

Guilfoyle defied rumors that she would also be excluded, appearing on the left in the second seating section about five rows back, wearing an off-white suit and fitted white blouse by Cuban designer Oscar López.

Don Jr. held a place of honor in a group alongside his father, along with his siblings and their respective partners, including Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, Eric Trump and his wife, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael. Buolos and Barron Trump.

Seating was limited as the ceremony was moved indoors for the first time since 1985, after dangerously low temperatures of 25 to 28 degrees were forecast in DC.

Monday morning the daily beast noted that Anderson’s designer, Katherine Lugo, had posted a photo of Anderson in her ‘Inauguration Glam’ outfit, a black and white houndstooth Dolce and Gabbana suit with black leather gloves and red leather bag.

The stylish outfit suggests Anderson was hoping to attend the exclusive event at the Capitol. But news images of the crowd showed no sign of her or her checkered ensemble inside the Rotunda’s coveted main seats.

However, Bettina appeared at the presidential parade later that afternoon, in the starry blue-fronted tiered seats behind President Trump, in view of television cameras.

And a source close to the family told DailyMail.com that the Trumps ‘adored’ her and that there was no intentional slight in Anderson’s failure to get a seat in the Rotunda, which was in high demand.

In the days before the inauguration, Don Jr., 47, crossed paths with Guilfoyle, as well as his other ex, Vanessa Trump, on numerous occasions, as both were seen at various parties, dinners and events to celebrate . his father.

In addition to being at the inauguration, Vanessa was photographed arriving with her daughter Chloe Trump at Donald’s wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday.

Kimberly attended the Republican-focused Hispanic inaugural ball the night before, standing next to her ex-boyfriend.

She also attended a candlelight dinner for Donald at the National Building Museum on Sunday night.

She and Don Jr. are said to have a “cordial relationship,” and no drama was reported at either reunion.

Bettina has largely stayed out of the spotlight since DailyMail.com exclusively revealed they were dating last summer.

Sources previously told DailyMail.com that Bettina is not ‘MAGA enough’ and that her notorious Palm Beach party girl reputation doesn’t mesh well with the first family’s upscale Mar-A-Lago clientele.

But she has been at Don Jr.’s side for much of this weekend, and members of the Trump family are trying to convey the message that they welcome the First Son’s new partner.

In addition to the dinner at the National Building Museum, Bettina also appeared in a photo of the Trump family as they gathered for a fireworks show at the Trump National Golf Club before Monday’s swearing-in ceremony.

Don Jr. and Kimberly, 55, started dating in 2018 and got engaged in December 2020.

But in 2024, it was revealed that they had called off their engagement and went their separate ways.

Before that, he was married to Vanessa, 47, from 2005 to 2018.

They welcomed five children together during their marriage: Kai Trump, Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Chloe, and Spencer Trump.
