AceShowbiz - As Kimberly Guilfoyle is preparing to leave the U.S. and head to Greece for her new job, Donald Trump Jr. has taken Bettina Anderson to Italy. The businessman has been spotted on a romantic vacation with his new girlfriend in Venice following his split from his longtime fiancee.
In photos obtained and published by Page Six on Tuesday, December 11, the 46-year-old and his socialite girlfriend were seen holding hands during a night out in Italy. The duo reportedly celebrated Bettina's birthday while in the European country last week.
For the date night, Bettina looked classy in a black sleeveless top and matching pants, paired with black sandals. She carried a small brown bag while her long blonde hair was styled in loose waves and hung on her shoulders. Her hand interlocked with Don Jr.'s as he opted for a white button-up shirt with dark suit and matching pants as well as a pair of shinny shoes.
Bettina has also taken to her Instagram account to share photos from their romantic getaway. She posted pictures of a gondola ride, as well as a vintage image of her model mom Inger being kissed on a gondola years ago.
She additionally shared an image of the famed Cipriani logo and a pair of Frette slippers, which are available at luxury hotels. Her pictures, however, did not feature her boyfriend.
The photos surface after Don Jr. addressed his relationship with Kimberly amid split reports. In a statement issued to Page Six on Friday, December 13, he made it clear that he remains supportive of the former prosecutor despite hinting that they went separate ways. "Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always keep a special bond," he said in the statement.
He also gushed about Kimberly being nominated as the U.S. ambassador to Greece, noting that she deserves the position. He also fiercely defended his ex against rumors about her, firing back, "Anyone taking baseless and petty fake news cheap shots at her in the tabloids are just embarrassing themselves."
Don Jr. and Bettina sparked dating rumors earlier this month after they were seen holding hands in public following a dinner date at Buccan, a swanky Palm Beach restaurant. "Bettina and Don have been together for a few months, and are super cute and happy together. It's just a natural fit - everyone is happy for them!" a source said after their pictures surfaced online on Tuesday, December 10.
As to why Don Jr. and Kimberly called it quits, a source claimed, "Don and Kimberly haven't been getting along over the past year." The source added, "They get argumentative at Mar-a-Lago in front of people. Nothing crazy, but you know when a couple is fighting. They bicker in public."
Another source revealed Don was the one who pulled the plug on the engagement, noting that "the breakup was amicable and so is their relationship today." The source explained, "They just had different goals.
