Fans were surprised when rumors emerged about Don Jr. moving in with his new girlfriend to a lavish $15 million mansion.
Speculation grew as Kimberly Guilfoyle made a notable decision just before their trip to Greece, igniting a wave of reactions online, with many expressing disbelief and curiosity about what the couple’s future holds.
The extravagant lifestyle and high-profile relationship have kept fans eagerly anticipating more news. As events unfold, it’s evident that this pair knows how to maintain public interest.
The opulent waterfront mansion that Donald Trump Jr. shared with his ex, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is poised to become a point of contention between the recently separated couple.
The former partners purchased the property in Jupiter, Florida—a 30-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago—in 2021.
However, with Junior moving on with his new love, Bettina Anderson, and Kimberly planning to spend most of the next four years in Greece, the fate of the $15 million Admiral’s Cove property remains uncertain.
Don Jr. and Kimberly acquired the home as tenants in common, meaning each owns a specific percentage and can sell, transfer, or mortgage their share without needing the other’s consent, potentially leading to a complicated dispute.
“I doubt Kimberly is thrilled about the idea of Don Jr. bringing his new girlfriend into the home she invested so much effort into,” a source told DailyMail.com.
“Honestly, I’m not sure Bettina would want to move into a house where Don lived with Kimberly.”
Kimberly is believed to have been residing in the 11,300 square-foot home since their breakup.
However, if she is confirmed by the Senate, she will become the United States ambassador to Greece in the coming months, necessitating her full-time residence in Athens, nearly 6,000 miles away from her home.

Don Jr. was seen with his new girlfriend, Florida socialite Bettina Anderson, 38, as he publicly showcased their relationship on December 9, following a two-hour birthday dinner for Anderson at the local restaurant Buccan.
Meanwhile, Don Jr. has been spending nights at Bettina’s relatively modest three-bedroom home in West Palm Beach, which she purchased for $428,000 in 2014.
However, her residence is only one-sixth the size of his Jupiter mansion, presenting various security challenges for his Secret Service detail.
Don Jr., 46, and Kimberly, 55, acquired their six-bedroom, 11-bathroom home for $9.7 million in March 2021, just two months after his father left the White House. It is now valued at over $15 million according to real estate websites.
They moved in with much fanfare, despite some neighbors expressing concerns about potential security issues, even though the property is situated in a gated community of 188 homes.
Junior was reportedly attracted to the house due to its expansive 1.2-acre lot, significantly larger than most in the Admirals Cove area.
“Only a few homes in the 188-home community offer this much backyard space,” realtor Rob Thomson, who sold the property, noted at the time.
“Don Jr. is a family-oriented person, and his five children live nearby. The space for the kids is ample.”
The couple had been together since 2018, and the year after purchasing the home, they got engaged.
The former couple was originally drawn to the mansion because of its 1.2-acre lot that was larger than other homes in the Admirals Cove area for Don Jr’s five children

But the path of true love was not smooth for the couple, and Don Jr. started dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson this summer.

We confirmed it with pictures of them holding hands after a two-hour dinner at the local restaurant Buccan on Monday.
Then, on Wednesday, Don Jr. took Anderson, 38, to Mar-a-Lago, where they briefly chatted with the president-elect and were said to be “parading their love for all to see.”
“He’s bewitched by Bettina—her looks, her smarts, her pedigree,” a Trump insider told DailyMail.com. “Now that Kim is out of the picture, the relationship is going to get even more serious.”
The couple has since made a getaway.
Bettina is generally seen as a better fit for the former and future First Son. The former model’s effortless sense of style aligns better with the family compared to the tight, revealing dresses that his ex is known for.
In fact, People magazine even claimed that Kimberly’s style was one of the main reasons Junior fell out of love with her. “The tight dresses need to go, and she has been told that,” one source told the outlet.

Take a look back at the relationship of Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle
It was widely believed that the incoming president decided to appoint Kimberly as the ambassador to Greece as a way to distance her from his family following the split, as well as a reward for her loyalty.
News of Don Jr.’s new romance reportedly “blindsided” Kimberly, and the fact that she will likely be spending the next few years in Europe will be welcome for both parties.
She was nominated for the position just a day after DailyMail.com’s revealing pictures shattered the illusion that she and Junior were still a couple, despite not being photographed together since mid-November.
It was thought that the incoming president offered her the prestigious role to remove her from his family’s orbit after the breakup, while also recognizing her loyalty since her days at Fox News.
“For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics, along with her sharp intellect, make her supremely qualified to represent the United States and safeguard its interests abroad.”
Kimberly expressed her eagerness to “deliver on the Trump agenda, support our Greek allies, and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.”
“It was the democratic values born in Greece that helped shape the founding of America,” she added. “And now, we have an opportunity to honor that history by bringing better days here at home and abroad.”
Don Jr. led the congratulations, tweeting, “I am so proud of Kimberly. She loves America, and she has always wanted to serve the country as an Ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First.”
