Donald Trump Jr gives fans a glimpse of Bahamas wedding to Bettina Anderson
Washington, May 31
Donald Trump Jr has shared a personal look at his wedding celebrations with Bettina Anderson, posting a romantic video from their private Bahamas ceremony and describing the occasion as the night he married his "best friend."
The businessman posted the video on Instagram. Created by Kevin Wolf, the clip captures moments from the couple's wedding festivities, including scenes of the newlyweds walking along sandy beaches on a private island and enjoying time together in the ocean.
Accompanying the video, Trump Jr. wrote, "The night I married my best friend, my love, and my forever."
He continued with a heartfelt message to Anderson, saying, "Bettina, you have brought so much peace, joy, and light into my life. Standing beside you, surrounded by our siblings, your mom, Donnie, and Kai, I have never felt more grateful or more certain of anything."
Closing the message, he referred to Anderson as, "My wife. My heart. My forever."
The newly shared video offers a glimpse into the couple's private celebration as they begin married life together.
Trump Jr and Anderson held a quiet wedding ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas last Saturday, two days after legally marrying in Palm Beach, Florida. Around 40 guests attended the celebration, including Trump Jr.'s five children and his siblings Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump, along with their spouses, according to Page Six.
Speaking about the couple, Eric Trump told Page Six, "Don and Bettina are wonderful together. I'm so proud to have witnessed so much of their journey as a couple. They truly light up around each other and it's been amazing watching their story unfold. Couldn't be happier for them on their special day."
One notable absence was Trump Jr's father, President Donald Trump. According to Trump Jr, the President was unable to attend due to "circumstances pertaining to Government," a message he shared on TruthSocial a day before the wedding.
Wedding planning was handled by Lewis Miller Design, the company known for its work on several Carolina Herrera events and for leading a flower-arranging class during Meghan Markle's baby shower celebrations.
The couple became engaged at Camp David on December 13, 2025, while celebrating Anderson's birthday.
Earlier this year, Anderson hosted an "enchanted garden"-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April.
The event was attended by Ivanka Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump and Marla Maples. Kai Trump, Trump Jr's 19-year-old daughter with former wife Vanessa Trump, was also present.
Trump Jr and Anderson began dating in December 2024 following the end of his engagement to former fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle.

While I respect the "best friend" sentiment—very sweet—I find it interesting how quickly he moved on from his previous engagement. Also, that bit about "circumstances pertaining to Government" for his father missing the wedding... hmm. 😏 But honestly, hope they have a happy life together. Every couple deserves that.
Congratulations to them! As someone who loves destination weddings, I can appreciate the beauty of a private island ceremony. The video sounds lovely. And the flower arranging class by Lewis Miller Design—that's a nice touch! Reminds me of how we Indians go all out with garlands and floral decorations for weddings. ❤️🌸
The irony is rich—the US President's son has a lavish wedding while his father can't attend due to "government circumstances." Meanwhile, our Indian politicians' kids have weddings that are state affairs with massive crowds and photo ops. Both sides could learn something about privacy vs. people's expectations. 🤔
Honestly, good for them! It's refreshing to see a celebrity wedding that isn't a three-day circus with 500 influencers. Keeping it to 40 guests, having the kids involved, choosing a meaningful location... That's how you do it! As an expat living in India, I see how weddings here are huge—and I love that—but this smaller intimate vibe also works beautifully. 💕
The media in India covers everything related to the Trump family! Even a private wedding gets full coverage. Meanwhile, our own leaders' family events are barely reported unless there's controversy. Priorities, anyone? But on a lighter note—marrying your "best
