Looks like holiday cheer came with a diamond-sized surprise!

The dad of five — who shares Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe with ex-wife Vanessa — joked that his nerves hit while proposing to Anderson. “But she said yes, which is a big win for the end of the year,” he told the crowd.
Anderson, stunning in a strapless red gown at the event, thanked the president and First Lady Melania Trump, calling the weekend “unforgettable” and adding that she feels like the “luckiest girl in the world.”

President Trump gave his future daughter-in-law a kiss and shared a quick “good luck” as guests applauded. Per the outlet, Trump Jr., 47, began dating Anderson, 38, in 2024 following his split from ex-fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle and the pair have been spotted at several high-profile events fueling speculation that an engagement announcement was coming.
With 2026 drawing near, time will tell how quickly the wedding bells ring — but it may be sooner rather than later. “Don is in love with Bettina,” a source told the Daily Mail. “He is telling friends, ‘This is the woman I love.’”
