At a White House Christmas reception held on December 16, 2025, President Donald Trump revealed that his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is engaged to Bettina Anderson. The announcement was a highlight of the festive event, catching many attendees off guard with its spontaneity.
Donald Trump Jr., 47, has been romantically involved with Bettina Anderson, 38, since the spring of 2024. The couple's engagement marks a significant personal milestone, and Trump Jr.'s public admission of nervousness during the proposal added a touch of relatability to the evening's proceedings.
The celebratory atmosphere was palpable as Anderson, donned in a striking red strapless gown, expressed her elation and gratitude. She extended her thanks to the President and First Lady Melania Trump for hosting the event, singling out the holiday decorations as particularly remarkable. Her speech conveyed the profound impact of the occasion, dubbing it the "most unforgettable weekend of my life."
President Trump warmly welcomed his future daughter-in-law to the family with a congratulatory kiss and a succinct piece of advice: "good luck." The crowd's applause underscored the warmth and support for the couple, who were first publicly seen together in September 2024 at a Palm Beach restaurant.
Simultaneously, outgoing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Brian Glenn, the chief White House correspondent for Real America’s Voice, announced their engagement. Their relationship, which began in 2023, had been a subject of intrigue within political and media circles.
Greene, who is set to resign from Congress on January 5, 2026, showcased her diamond engagement ring at a high-end dining establishment just three weeks prior to her departure. The engagement comes on the heels of a public rift with President Trump that emerged last month.
Glenn has been known for his favorable line of questioning during White House press events and has deftly navigated the delicate balance between supporting Greene and maintaining a non-confrontational stance with the President.
Social media played a role in circulating the news, with tweets from both Laura Loomer and Greene herself celebrating the engagements. These announcements have sparked interest and congratulations from various quarters, as well as curiosity about the future roles and influence these couples may hold within the broader political landscape.
