Less pomp, more private island.
Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson will tie the knot over Memorial Day weekend, a source tells Page Six.
We hear the couple will say “I do” in front of a small group of family and friends at an intimate ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas.
Page Six previously reported that Trump Jr. and Anderson were in a hurry to get hitched, with a source telling us in mid-April the pair were set to wed within the next few months.
However, we also heard that, by the end of April, the pair — who were initially eyeing a wedding at the White House — were mulling over slowing things down due to the war in Iran.
“They’re very aware that a lavish wedding at the White House while people are dying wouldn’t be well-received,” an insider previously told Page Six.
Now we’re told that instead of putting off the nuptials as the war drags on, they are simply opting for a much smaller wedding.
Anderson held an Enchanted Garden-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April attended by Ivanka Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump and Marla Maples.
Trump Jr.’s daughter with ex-wife Vanessa Trump, Kai Trump, also stopped by, according to a spy.
The fête was hosted by Palm Beach socialites Yaz Hernandez, Amy Phelan and Audrey Gruss. Other guests included Daphne Oz, Dina Powell McCormick, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Andrea Wynn and Bret Baier’s wife, Amy Baier.
Trump Jr. even gave a toast at the shower.
“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with Bettina,” he said, according to one guest. “She is smart, loving and caring.”
Page Six exclusively revealed in December that Trump Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39 — whose parents are philanthropists Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and Inger Anderson — were engaged.
We also exclusively reported the businessman popped the question at Camp David on Dec.13 when the pair were celebrating Anderson’s birthday.
Trump Jr. and Anderson started dating in 2024, just as his engagement to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle came to an end.
Guilfoyle was named Ambassador to Greece the day Anderson and Trump’s relationship went public.
Trump Jr. was previously wed to Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018. They share five children.
