Inside the Mansion That Broke Them—Fans Divided as Don Jr. Plans to Move In With New Girlfriend While Kimberly Guilfoyle Quietly Walks Away

It’s a love triangle that was never supposed to go public—
And now, a $15 million waterfront estate in Admirals Cove may be the last piece left standing.

This week, fans were left reeling after rumors swirled that Donald Trump Jr. is preparing to move into the lavish mansion he once shared with Kimberly Guilfoyle—this time, with new girlfriend Bettina Anderson.

And while social media debated whether Bettina would dare set foot in the home Kimberly poured herself into, the former Fox News anchor made a quiet, calculated move that may have confirmed exactly what everyone feared.

She’s leaving.

For Greece. For good.

A Valentine’s Divorce No One Announced

Though no formal breakup was ever posted, the writing has been on the walls—first at the Super Bowl, then in photos, then in property records.

But it wasn’t until Valentine’s Day that the silence shattered.
Kimberly, in a sleek revenge dress, posted pink roses with no explanation.
Don Jr., hours later, went public with Bettina—hand-in-hand at dinner, his arm around her at a red carpet gala.

“They didn’t say it. They didn’t have to,” one former Mar-a-Lago aide said.
“That house was always going to be the last battle.”

A Home Built for Forever—Now Divided

The 11,300 square foot property, purchased for $9.7 million in 2021, was supposed to be a forever home.

With six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and an unprecedented 1.2-acre lot (in a gated community of just 188 homes), it was meant to be where Don Jr. and Kimberly raised their blended family, hosted fundraisers, and built political futures.

They got engaged a year after moving in.

And now, two years later, they’ve moved on—but not out.

“That Mansion Was Her Soul Project”

Kimberly reportedly took the lead in redesigning the interior.

Friends describe custom Mediterranean tile, floor-to-ceiling glass, a children’s library wing, and “some of the best kitchen architecture in the Palm Beach area.”

“That mansion was her soul project,” one friend said. “It was built for family. For legacy.”

Which is why the rumors of Bettina moving in have triggered not just gossip—but fury.

“It’s one thing to move on,” a MAGA influencer tweeted. “It’s another to plant a new flag inside someone else’s legacy.”

What Kimberly Did Next—And Why It Matters

Just days after news broke that Don Jr. and Bettina were looking at property logistics, Kimberly packed her bags for Greece.

The move wasn’t dramatic. No interview. No fanfare.

Just a discreet update to her professional bio:

“Incoming U.S. Ambassador to Greece, confirmed May 2025.”

And then… she was gone.

Why This Isn’t Just About Real Estate

The property is held “as tenants in common”, meaning each partner owns a distinct share and can sell or transfer their portion without the other’s approval.

Which raises real questions:

Will Kimberly cash out her half?
Will Don Jr. buy her out?
Or will the home be sold entirely—and both walk away from the symbol of what they once built?

“This isn’t just a house,” a Palm Beach real estate insider said. “This is a message. Whoever keeps the house wins the narrative.”

Would Bettina Really Move In? Not Everyone’s Convinced

While some sources say Don Jr. wants to return to Admirals Cove for “security reasons” and proximity to his children, others say Bettina isn’t on board.

“She’s Palm Beach sparkle,” one friend noted. “She’s never been drawn to Jupiter. And the idea of living in Kimberly’s house? I’m not sure that’s her style.”

Still, the numbers matter.

Bettina’s current home, bought in 2014, is 1/6th the size, valued at under $500,000, and reportedly difficult to secure for Secret Service purposes.

“Don Jr. has outgrown it,” one insider said bluntly. “She either adapts to his world—or watches it pass her by.”

Don Jr.’s Five Children—And the Unspoken Stakes

Sources close to Don Jr. say the mansion’s backyard, its proximity to schools, and its multiple living areas were key to the couple’s original purchase.

“Don’s kids live nearby. He wanted a fortress, not a flashy mansion.”

But now, as he redefines his future with Bettina, some fear the optics—and family dynamics—are at risk.

“Does he introduce Bettina to the kids in the same kitchen they had Christmas with Kimberly?” one source asked. “It’s messy. Quietly messy.”

Supporters Are Divided—and Vocal

On X (formerly Twitter), reactions have been swift:

“Let her have the house. She earned it. Bettina can build her own.”
“If Kimberly walked away, why shouldn’t he reclaim what’s his?”
“That mansion is a monument to their fake perfection. Sell it and start over.”
“She’s going to be an ambassador. He’s moving in his rebound? Come on.”

And Then There’s Trump Himself

While President Trump hasn’t publicly commented on the house, he has praised Kimberly’s new role in Greece—calling her “a loyal patriot and a fierce voice for America First.”

But some insiders say he’s been less than thrilled with Don Jr.’s timing.

“Trump’s team wanted to focus on the ambassador win. Instead, Don Jr. made it about a birthday date with Bettina,” one campaign source said.

What Happens Next

Real estate records show the mansion has not yet been listed.

But several agents in the Palm Beach area say they’ve received “soft inquiries” from buyers who know the house may quietly hit the market if the split becomes formalized.

“It won’t be a public fight,” one agent said. “But it won’t be invisible either.”

Conclusion: The House Always Remembers

Kimberly Guilfoyle is flying 6,000 miles away, into the world of diplomacy and global strategy.

Don Jr. is unpacking a different chapter—one with new love, old property, and very public stakes.

And somewhere in Jupiter, Florida, behind black iron gates and columns covered in flowering vines, sits a home that still holds both their names.

A house built for forever.
Now filled with echoes.

And a question no one can quite answer:

Whose future will it belong to next?

 

Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, and Donald Trump Jr.’s, 46, $15million mansion they purchased in 2021 will be a battleground for the recently split couple as their ideas of what to do with it differ

The mansion is a 11,300 square-foot six-bed, 11-bath home that the former couple bought for $9.7million. The Admiral Cove estate is located in Jupiter, Florida

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

On December 11, Don Jr reportedly took Anderson to Mar-a-Lago where they chatted briefly with the president-elect Donald Trump and were said to be ‘parading their love for all to see’

Anderson herself has been dropping not-so-subtle hints of the romance, sharing photos of a romantic flower delivery in an Instagram story, on which she discreetly tagged her new beau, @donaldtrumpjr at the top left corner

Meet Kimberly Guilfoyle, Trump’s new pick for ambassador to Greece

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

DailyMail.com exclusively reported on their budding romance in August when they were spotted canoodling at The Honor Bar, a cozy spot in Palm Beach.

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.”
