  • Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle began dating in 2018 and became a GOP power couple.
  • Page Six reported their breakup in December after Trump Jr. was seen with a Florida socialite.
  • Donald Trump chose Guilfoyle to serve as ambassador to Greece in his administration.

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle have reportedly broken up after six years of dating.

Trump Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's oldest son, and Guilfoyle, a Trump campaign advisor and former Fox News host, began dating in 2018. Guilfoyle confirmed their engagement in 2022.

Once called "the prom king and queen of MAGA land," the pair bolstered Donald Trump's 2024 presidential run with primetime addresses at the Republican National Convention and appeared at rallies across the US in support of Trump's campaign.

In December, Trump Jr. was photographed holding hands with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. He stopped short of confirming that his relationship with Guilfoyle had ended, but said in a statement to Page Six that "Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond."

Guilfoyle will remain in the Trump orbit as the president-elect's pick for ambassador to Greece.

Trump Jr., Guilfoyle, and Anderson did not respond to Business Insider's requests for comment.

  • Eric Trump and Lara Trump got married in 2014, have two children, and live in Jupiter, Florida.
  • Lara left her TV producer job at Inside Edition to work for President Donald Trump's campaign.
  • She stepped down as cochair of the RNC amid speculation of her filling Marco Rubio's Senate seat.

With Eric Trump as a trusted advisor to Donald Trump's campaign and Lara Trump's ascent to cochair of the Republican National Committee, there's a new GOP power couple in town.

Eric is the youngest of Donald Trump's three children from his first marriage to Ivana Trump. He serves as the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, managing the Trump family's luxury real-estate ventures.

Lara could gain even more power in Washington if she is appointed to the Senate. In December, she stepped down as cochair of the RNC amid speculation that she could fill Sen. Marco Rubio's Senate seat after Donald Trump nominated Rubio for secretary of state.

Here's a timeline of Eric and Lara's relationship.

When they met, Eric was working for his father at the Trump Organization and Lara was a producer at Inside Edition.

Lara spotted Eric from across the room and was "immediately intrigued," she told Ainsley Earhardt in an interview on "Fox & Friends" in 2016.

Donald Trump Jr. was the best man for his brother while Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner, officiated the wedding, the New York Daily News reported. Their dog, Charlie, also served as the ring bearer.

Lara broke both of her wrists in a horseback-riding accident a few weeks before the wedding, forcing her to wear casts on both arms.

"I had to get creative with a way to make casts look bridal," she told People magazine. "Fortunately, my wedding planner, Jennifer Zabinski, and my designer, Preston Bailey, came up with some fabulously bedazzled gloves to try and blend these casts."

"I'm incredibly honored to be part of this journey on which he's invited me, Don, Ivanka, Tiffany, Melania, my beautiful wife Lara, our entire family, to play such an integral part," he said in his RNC speech. "Dad, you have once again taught us by example, you are my hero, you are my best friend, you are the next president of the United States."

October 2016: Lara took a two-month hiatus from her job at Inside Edition to join her husband in supporting Trump's campaign.

Lara made campaign stops speaking to women voters, traveling with Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson and "The Apprentice" alum Omarosa Manigault Newman in order to focus on "minority communities and people who might not traditionally think Donald Trump is their candidate," Lara told Star News Online.

"I wasn't going to have the time to adequately dedicate to this," Lara told the North Carolina newspaper Port City Daily in 2016 of her decision to take time off work. "When they're reporting on your family on the show you work for, it's a little challenging. We managed to keep everything pretty even-keeled for the duration of this whole thing, but certainly it's nice to not have to worry about that from day-to-day."

January 2017: Eric and Lara attended Trump's inauguration and danced together at the Freedom Ball.

"Never in a million years did I think that I would be on this stage tonight, and I certainly never thought that I'd end up with the last name Trump," she said in her RNC speech.

She continued: "My seventh-grade English teacher, Mrs. Bee, used to tell us, 'Believe none of what you hear, half of what you read, and only what you're there to witness firsthand.' The meaning of those words never fully weighed on me until I met my husband and the Trump family. Any preconceived notion I had of this family disappeared immediately. They were warm and caring. They were hard workers and they were down to earth. They reminded me of my own family. They made me feel like I was home."

On a March 2021 episode of "Fox & Friends" announcing her new position, Lara said she's long felt like part of the Fox team because she's appeared on the network so frequently over the last several years. 

"I'm so excited, first of all, to be joining the Fox family," she said. "I sort of feel like I've been an unofficial member of the team for so long. You guys know, it was kind of a joke over the past five years, I would come there so often that the security guards were like, 'Maybe we should just give you a key.'" 

Eric accompanied Lara to the Fox News offices during their New York visit. He remains a frequent contributor to the network himself.

"Not only was this day the beginning of an amazing life together, two years later (and tens of thousands of hours worked and miles traveled on the campaign trail for both of us), November 8th, 2016 would come to represent one of the greatest political victories in US history," Eric captioned a carousel of photos on Instagram. "I am incredibly proud of the family we have created, the way we have both developed and all that we have accomplished and stood for in these incredible 7 years. Thank you for being an incredible Wife, Mother and Friend."

Lara paid tribute to Eric with an Instagram post of her own.

"Seven years, 2 kids, 2 Presidential campaigns, 1 additional dog, 2 broken wrists, 1 broken collarbone, 1 major move and we're just getting started..." she wrote. "Happy Anniversary to my partner in it all, @erictrump."

Eric addressed Donald Trump's legal battles, saying that his election victory would be the "greatest retribution" after being "persecuted."

Lara echoed Eric's sentiments in her speech, saying, "I have seen this man dragged through hell and back, in and out of courtrooms, indictments, impeachments, mugshots, and even an assassination attempt. And yet, he has never backed down."

Lara told the AP that after Donald Trump's election win, "what I intended to do has been done" at the RNC. Among the considerations for her next steps in politics is filling Sen. Marco Rubio's Senate seat, whom Donald Trump nominated for secretary of state.

"It is something I would seriously consider," Lara said of stepping in for Rubio in the Senate.

Rubio's replacement will be chosen by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Gavin Newsom and Kimberly Guilfoyle were once a political power couple dubbed 'the new Kennedys.' Here's a timeline of their relationship.

  • Kimberly Guilfoyle and Gavin Newsom were married for five years, from 2001 to 2006.
  • As the mayor and first lady of San Francisco, they were dubbed "the new Kennedys."
  • Guilfoyle went on to work in the Trump White House and is engaged to Donald Trump Jr.

Kimberly Guilfoyle and Gavin Newsom, who were married from 2001 to 2006, were once a high-profile political couple dubbed "the new Kennedys."

Their paths have diverged significantly since their time as mayor and first lady of San Francisco.

Newsom, whose push for marriage equality cemented him as a national figure in the Democratic party, is now the governor of California and was floated as a 2024 Democratic presidential candidate. He married documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom in 2008.

Guilfoyle, a former assistant district attorney turned Fox News host, became a conservative influencer and advisor to President Donald Trump. She is engaged to Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr.

Despite their political differences, Guilfoyle and Newsom remained friends for years until things began to deteriorate around the 2020 presidential election.

Here's a timeline of their relationship.

Circa 1994: Kimberly Guilfoyle and Gavin Newsom met at a Democratic fundraiser.

San Francisco attorney Art Groza introduced the couple at a fundraiser for John Burton, who was then a member of the California State Assembly and went on to be elected to the House of Representatives, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

December 2001: Guilfoyle and Newsom got married seven years after they met.

Newsom and Guilfoyle wed at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco. At the time, Newsom worked as a county supervisor, and Guilfoyle was an assistant district attorney.

January 2004: Newsom was sworn in as mayor of San Francisco, and Guilfoyle moved to New York to host "Both Sides" on Court TV.

Months later, Newsom told the San Francisco Chronicle that living on different coasts had "taken a huge toll personally."

"The transcontinental marriage is tough — the only godsend is that we don't have kids," he said. "You give up your life in the traditional sense."

September 2004: A feature in Harper's Bazaar magazine dubbed them "the new Kennedys."

One image from the Harper's Bazaar spread showed Guilfoyle and Newsom lying together in formalwear on a rug at Ann and Gordon Getty's house.

In the accompanying article, Newsom described their relationship as "a wonderful combination of being in love and extraordinarily proud."

January 2005: The couple jointly filed for divorce.

Newsom and Guilfoyle released a joint statement announcing the end of their marriage "with great sadness," The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

"Unfortunately, the demands of our respective careers have made it too difficult for us to continue as a married couple," the statement said. "Over the past 10 years, we have developed a tremendous bond of love and respect for each other. That will never change. We will remain close friends. We ask for your understanding and consideration during this difficult time."

November 2005: Newsom and Guilfoyle reunited for a series of events, sparking reports they had gotten back together.

After the two were spotted together at Newsom's birthday party, a golf championship, and an outing with then-Prince Charles and Camilla during their royal visit, The San Francisco Chronicle described their marriage as "on-again, off again."

When former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown asked about his marital status at the royal gathering, Newsom replied, "I have a very confusing life," the Chronicle reported.

Guilfoyle gave a vague answer to the Chronicle when asked if she and Newsom had gotten back together.

"If I was standing back and looking at the situation, I would say it went great — these two people obviously love each other and get along very well," she said. "But I don't have an answer for you. We are not back together."

February 2006: Their divorce was finalized.

Guilfoyle told The San Francisco Chronicle that the divorce was amicable, and that she and Newsom shared a lawyer throughout the proceedings.

"We're very close, and we're going to remain that way," she said.

Guilfoyle and Newsom did not have any children together during their marriage.

Villency and Guilfoyle welcomed a son in October 2006. They divorced in November 2009.

January 2007: Newsom admitted to having an affair with his campaign manager's wife in 2005 while he and Guilfoyle were in the midst of their divorce.

After Newsom's campaign manager, Alex Tourk, abruptly resigned for "personal" reasons, Newsom publicly apologized for the affair the next day, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"I want to make it clear that everything you've heard and read is true, and I'm deeply sorry about that," he said at a press conference. "I've hurt someone I care deeply about — Alex Tourk, and his friends and family. And that is something I have to live with."

July 2008: Newsom married documentary filmmaker and actor Jennifer Siebel.

Newsom and Siebel wed in Stevensville, Montana, on a ranch belonging to Siebel's parents, People magazine reported. Nancy Pelosi, former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, and actor Jason Lewis were in attendance.

The couple now shares four children.

August 2017: Guilfoyle spoke highly of Newsom during his 2018 gubernatorial campaign, which he went on to win.

In a profile of Newsom in The Sacramento Bee, Guilfoyle described him as "an amazing 'ideas guy' in terms of having an idea, developing it and seeing it to fruition."

She also recalled his dedication to an array of small businesses he operated, including wine shops, bars, and cafés. Guilfoyle told The Sacramento Bee that Newsom handled "everything from food selection and menus" to "all of the personnel decisions."

Newsom won the race for California governor in the 2018 midterm elections and took the oath of office in 2019.

May 2018: Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. went public as a couple.

Guilfoyle told The Washington Post that she joked with Newsom about directing Trump Jr. to campaign against his bid for governor, and that the two men discussed the hair products they use to keep their styles intact.

"Gav's hair is slicked back, and Don's hair is slicked back," she said.

September 2018: Newsom publicly addressed Guilfoyle's relationship with Trump Jr. for the first time.

Newsom told KQED host Lily Jamali that he was "still trying to come to grips with all of it."

"I wish her well, and them well," he said of Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. "And we see the world, clearly, with a different set of eyes politically."

March 2019: When asked about his past with Guilfoyle, Newsom said, "Life's interesting."

In an interview on PROFILE by BuzzFeed News, Newsom was asked if then-President Trump had ever mentioned Newsom's past marriage to Guilfoyle in their conversations.

"We may have had a private moment on that conversation, which in and of itself, makes life just interesting," Newsom said.

When host Ben Smith asked Newsom for details, he simply said, "Life's interesting."

August 2020: Newsom declined to comment after Guilfoyle attacked California in her speech at the Republican National Convention.

"If you want to see the Socialist Biden Harris future for our country, just take a look at California," Guilfoyle said in her speech. "It is a place of immense wealth, immeasurable innovation, and immaculate environment, and the Democrats turned it into a land of discarded heroin needles in parks, riots in streets, and blackouts in homes."

Fox News host Elex Michaelson asked the California governor if he had a response. Newsom opted to "respectfully defer to the next question."

September 2022: Newsom said he and Guilfoyle weren't in touch anymore.

When MSNBC host Alex Wagner asked if he and Guilfoyle still spoke, Newsom replied, "Nope. Not lately."

"It must be weird for you," Wagner said.

"Yeah, of course," Newsom replied.

December 2022: Guilfoyle appeared to reference Newsom's rumored White House aspirations, saying, "He ain't making it to the White House."

As speculation swirled that Newsom might run for president in 2024 if President Joe Biden didn't seek a second term, Guilfoyle appeared to allude to her past with Newsom in a speech at Turning Points USA.

"In California, they have vowed to get rid of gas-powered cars with no explanation of how they are going to fund and power alternatives," Guilfoyle said. "A bunch of winners over there, folks. Ask me how I know."

"He ain't making it to the White House," she added, seemingly referring to Newsom.

February 2023: Newsom said Guilfoyle was a "different person" when they were married and that she "fell prey" to the culture at Fox News.

On an episode of CNN's "The Axe Files" podcast, Newsom said Guilfoyle was "spending a lot of time in Democratic circles" while they were married, citing her work for a progressive district attorney and former friendship with fellow California attorney Kamala Harris, who went on to become vice president.

"She fell prey, I think, to the culture at Fox in a deep way," Newsom said of Guilfoyle. "She would disagree with that assessment, she would perhaps suggest that she found the light."

February 2023: Guilfoyle hit back, saying that Newsom was "unrecognizable" and had "fallen prey" to the "radical left."

On an episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show" later that week, Guilfoyle called Newsom's comments "absurd," adding that she was a registered Republican while they were married and that it was Newsom who had changed drastically.

"I didn't change, he did," she said. "He used to be so proud to fight for small business, for entrepreneurs, for those hardworking men and women. And he's fallen prey to the left, the radical left, that is pushing him so far to the left that it's unrecognizable."

Guilfoyle also said that she thought Newsom would run for president in 2024 and that it's something he "wants very badly."

Here's how the Trump family spends their billions, from a $11 million beachfront estate in St. Martin to a $13 million fleet of private aircraft

  • President-elect Donald Trump's net worth is estimated to be $5.6 billion, according to Forbes.
  • The entire Trump family could be worth over $6.7 billion, including the reported net worths of the Trump children.
  • The Trumps spend their money lavishly, from a hefty real-estate portfolio to an aviation fleet and designer clothes.

President-elect Donald Trump's net worth is currently estimated to be $5.6 billion, according to a Forbes report from November 2024.

And that's not to mention the individual net worths of his adult children: a reported $25 million each for both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, according to Forbes estimates from 2019; and a reported $10 million for Tiffany Trump, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Ivanka Trump, who runs her own business, has the largest net worth of all the children. She and her husband Jared Kushner are estimated to be worth around $1.1 billion, as best ascertained by ethics filings reflecting the couple's real estate holdings and additional investments.

Combined, that means the entire Trump family's fortune could be well over $6.7 billion.

From pricey penthouses and expensive schooling to high-end shopping and a full-on aviation fleet, here's how they spend their money.

Melania Trump also has a taste for pricey fashion. She's been spotted wearing everything from a $2,095 Givenchy cape dress at an International Red Cross Ball to a $7,995 Monique Lhuillier sequined gown at a White House Historical Association dinner. And then there's also the time when she donned a $52,000 Dolce & Gabbana jacket.

Melania has had her own makeup artist, Nicole Bryl, who once told US Weekly of Melania's plans to have a "glam room" in the White House. She also has a hairstylist who makes house calls and travels with her.

Melania has said she's a full-time mom and that she refuses to spend money on a nanny. In 2013, she told ABC News that she dresses her son, Barron, in suits and moisturizes him with her brand's Caviar Complex C6 moisturizer. He was seven years old at the time.

There's debate on the extent of Trump's philanthropic efforts, but in 2009, he and Melania donated $5,000 to $9,999 to the Police Athletic League of New York City. He also donated $1 million of his own money to Hurricane Harvey relief in 2017.
