# Bettina Anderson Palm Beach socialite, model, and philanthropist (b. 1986); wife of [[Donald Trump Jr.]] as of May 2026 — see [[Donald Trump Jr. Bahamas Wedding]]. - Old-line Palm Beach family: father Harry Loy Anderson Jr. became the youngest bank president in the US in 1970 (Worth Avenue National Bank, at age 26); mother Inger Anderson owns Palm Beach Groves. - Columbia University BA (2009), art history. - Executive director of The Paradise Fund (later Paradise.ngo); advocate for the Hope for Depression Research Foundation. - Began dating Don Jr. publicly in 2024 (overlapping the end of his engagement to [[Kimberly Guilfoyle]]); engaged December 2025; married May 21, 2026. - KB significance: brings establishment Palm Beach pedigree into the [[Trump Family]] dynasty. The wedding was widely reported as furnished gratis; in September 2026 the benefactor was identified, and it was not her Palm Beach network. ## The Kremlev statement (September 14, 2026) After ProPublica reported that Russian oligarch [[Umar Kremlev]] had paid for a large share of the Bahamas celebration, Bettina Trump posted the family's response on [[Instagram]], over both their names, beside photographs of the two evenings in question. > [!quote] Bettina Trump, Instagram, September 14, 2026 > "Our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us AFTER our wedding. It was an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend, and something for which we were and remain incredibly grateful… Friendship doesn't require a political motive. Generosity doesn't automatically come with an agenda. And sometimes a wedding gift is simply a wedding gift." She is, so far, the only member of the family to confirm the payments on the record — her father-in-law's statement the same day denied knowing Kremlev at all. The distinction she draws, between the wedding and the celebrations after it, is the line the family has held since. See [[Donald Trump Jr. Bahamas Wedding]].
