Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr.: Defying Expectations with Love and Politics

Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr.’s relationship has attracted attention from both fans and critics alike, with one detail often standing out—their nearly nine-year age gap. Guilfoyle, the former Fox News host and political commentator, turned 55 in March 2024, while Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, celebrated his 46th birthday in December 2023.

Despite the difference in age, the couple has been going strong since they began dating in 2018. Their relationship began shortly after Donald Trump Jr.’s publicized divorce from Vanessa Trump, with whom he shares five children. Guilfoyle, who was previously married to California Governor Gavin Newsom and businessman Eric Villency, also has a son from her previous marriage.

Despite their complex personal histories, the couple found common ground, quickly becoming a fixture in political and media circles. After two years of dating, the couple became engaged in December 2020, on Don Jr.’s birthday, though the engagement wasn’t confirmed until January 2022. According to an insider, “It’s been an open secret for the past 12 months.

They’ve been together for almost four years now and have been friends for 15 years.” Despite the public’s fascination with their age gap, Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. have always highlighted the strong connection they share. In a 2022 interview, Guilfoyle expressed how well they complement each other, saying, “We are similar in many ways and beautifully complement one another in other ways, a true yin and yang. We share the same inner passion and fighting spirit.”

Guilfoyle has frequently spoken about her independence and strength as a woman, qualities that Trump Jr. admires. “I love being an independent career woman and strong female, with my own opinions and passions. Don loves that I am traditional and yet fiercely independent. We are partners in this incredible journey they call life, and I totally love it,” she shared with The List.

While their nine-year age gap has drawn some attention, it pales in comparison to the 24-year difference between Donald Trump Sr. and his wife, Melania Trump. When they met, Donald was 52 and Melania was just 28. Despite the considerable difference in age, Melania once said, “It was a great chemistry and energy. We had a great time, we started to talk.

As per People magazine, You know, something was there right away.” Donald Trump echoed this sentiment, adding, “We literally have never had an argument… We’re just very compatible. We get along.” Despite the solid front they present, rumors have recently swirled about both couples, particularly after Donald Trump Jr. was reportedly seen kissing model Bettina Anderson in August 2024.

Nevertheless, Guilfoyle has remained a key figure in the Trump family’s political circle. In a 2021 interview with People, she emphasized the strength of her relationship with Trump Jr., saying, “We really are a team, we support each other, we’re best friends. We have great conversations and a lot of laughs together.

It’s great we have such a strong relationship. It’s never wavered, and I really feel blessed to be a part of it.” As they continue to navigate the spotlight and political life, Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. remain united, weathering both public scrutiny and personal challenges.
