President Donald Trump may have shocked his son, Donald Trump Jr, and Bettina Anderson by saying that he is not sure about attending their Memorial Day weekend wedding in the Bahamas. The 79-year-old noted that he will ‘try and make it’, but it is ‘not a good time’.
Trump was asked about the wedding on Thursday and responded: “He’d like me to go. It’s going to be a small private affair. I’m gonna try and make it. I said, ‘This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things'.
The wedding comes months after the couple announced their engagement in December 2025. Trump Jr’s second marriage will mark a quieter ceremony away from the public spotlight, as the couple opted for a Bahamas ceremony instead of a White House wedding.
Bettina Anderson has become increasingly visible alongside Trump Jr at both political and social events since the pair first became linked in 2024.
Anderson was born in December 1986 and raised in Palm Beach, Florida. She is the daughter of entrepreneur Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and philanthropist Inger Anderson.
Trump Jr and Anderson were first publicly linked in August 2024 while he was still reportedly engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
