Guilfoyle, 57, had been a fixture in President Trump's inner circle throughout her six-year relationship with and engagement to Don Jr – invited to private gatherings and becoming privy to their personal conversations.

Our exclusive photo of Don Jr and Anderson on an intimate brunch date at a ritzy Palm Beach diner on August 17, 2024 was the first public clue that he was looking elsewhere for romance.
