Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson celebrated their wedding Saturday in a private ceremony in the Bahamas, surrounded by close family and friends.
The intimate event reportedly took place on a private island and included about 40 guests. Trump Jr.’s five children attended, along with several members of the Trump family, including Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump, as well as their spouses.
Anderson’s family and a small group of close friends were also present for the ceremony.
Eric Trump praised the couple after the wedding, saying Don Jr. and Bettina are “wonderful together” and that they “truly light up around each other.”

A source said the couple married on a beautiful day in a place they often visit.
The couple reportedly considered holding the wedding at the White House but ultimately chose a smaller and more private celebration because of ongoing tensions tied to the war in Iran. A larger celebration with more family and friends may still take place later this year, with the White House reportedly still under consideration as a possible venue.
President Donald Trump did not attend the ceremony. On Friday, he said he wanted to be there for his son and Bettina but needed to remain in Washington, D.C., because of government responsibilities.
Trump said he believed it was important to stay at the White House during what he described as an important period for the country.
The wedding came after Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson legally married in Palm Beach, Florida, one day earlier.
The couple became engaged in December 2025 after about a year of dating.
Anderson, 39, is a philanthropist and model who has become increasingly visible at Trump family events in Palm Beach and at Mar-a-Lago. Earlier this year, she celebrated her bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago with members of the Trump family.
Donald Trump Jr., 48, is the eldest son of President Trump and serves as executive vice president of the Trump Organization.
He was previously married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018. The former couple share five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe.
Anderson has not previously been married and does not have children. Her relationship with Trump Jr. has drawn growing public attention as she has become more connected to the Trump family’s social and political circle.
