The sparkling engagement ring at the center of Bettina Anderson's high-profile romance with Donald Trump Jr. reflects the glitz and scrutiny surrounding their relationship.North Palm Beach TodayBettina Anderson, a popular influencer and socialite, has been in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr. since 2024. Before her engagement to Trump Jr. last year, Anderson was previously engaged to other wealthy older men, including billionaire William 'Beau' Wrigley Jr., the heir to the Wrigley's gum fortune. The significant age gap between Anderson and Wrigley, which was around 23 years, has sparked accusations of her being a 'gold digger' from some critics.
Why it matters
Anderson's dating history with much older, wealthy men has raised questions about her motivations and whether she is using relationships to boost her social standing. The scrutiny has only intensified since her engagement to Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, as the Trump family is reportedly concerned about protecting their brand.
The details
Anderson and Wrigley were reportedly linked around 2017 and were said to be engaged, though the details of their relationship remain unclear. Wrigley, who has a net worth of $3.6 billion, is 23 years older than Anderson. The couple's significant age gap has led to accusations of Anderson being a 'gold digger.' Even years later, these accusations have not gone away, especially after her engagement to Trump Jr. in 2025. Prior to her relationship with Trump Jr., Anderson kept her personal life very private. The Trump family has also expressed concerns about Anderson's 'party-girl image' and her true intentions in dating their son.
