Donald Trump Jr. has been caught locking lips with a Republican Palm Beach socialite – and it isn’t his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The former president’s son was spotted canoodling with glamorous ‘it girl’ Bettina Anderson, 37, during an intimate brunch date last month – and sources tell DailyMail.com the romance is the talk of Palm Beach.
Exclusive DailyMail.com pictures show Don Jr.’s rendezvous with the model, influencer, and philanthropist at The Honor Bar, located inside Palm Beach’s swanky Royal Poinciana Plaza shopping center on August 17.
And witnesses to the close encounter say it was clear this was definitely no business meeting, with one revealing the blonde beauty was seen reaching over to plant a sexy kiss on Don Jr.’s lips three times.
‘She seemed totally smitten with Don – and he with her,’ the insider told DailyMail.com.
‘They looked totally relaxed, she wearing a white shirt tied off to show her midriff and wide leg pants, he in shorts and a t-shirt.’
At one point she also reached down below the table, put her hand on his thigh and rubbed it, another source who witnessed the outing told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘They were definitely on a date,’ the first witness said.
‘They weren’t exactly making out, but the kisses were romantic, and you could tell they were intimate with each other.’
A third person told DailyMail.com; ‘I guess they’re not trying to hide it. They’ve been seen together all over Palm Beach.’
Don Jr. was last seen with his 55-year-old fiancée at the MAGA Boat Parade in Palm Beach County on August 18, the day after his intimate meal with Bettina.
He has since been on the campaign trail helping his father’s bid to regain the White House.
And certainly it was clear that this was not the first time the couple had been to the bar.
After Donald Jr, 46, indicated what he wanted to eat, his stunning companion was heard saying: ‘Oh, you’re getting that? You don’t usually get that.’
They also clearly knew the waiter, telling him at one point that they were planning a trip to Islamorada, a resort destination in the Florida Keys.
The Honor Bar – which is located less than four miles from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate – was a natural choice for cozy adult time together.
Its richly paneled walls and cozy atmosphere, including sumptuously padded booths, make it the perfect setting for an enjoyable tête-à-tête away from the outdoor dining options nearby.
The menu includes a $22 Honor Burger and Tuna Tartare for $28, while a Reissdorf Kolsch beer from Germany is $10.
The restaurant boasts on its website that it is not intended for large parties or young children.
‘We do not offer child seating nor do we allow strollers in the dining room,’ it states. ‘We prefer more intimate experiences serving parties of two.’
It even tells clients that as the staff ‘takes pride in their appearance’ they should too.
‘Guest attire can elevate or diminish the experience of others. We consider hats, tank tops, flip flops and team athletic too casual.’
Don Jr., however, was sailing close to the wind on August 17 with his casual look for his date with Bettina.
Anderson is well known in Palm Beach for her good works.
Her father, Harry Loy Anderson Jr., was the youngest president of Worth Avenue National Bank at 26. He died aged 70 in 2013.
Her 74-year-old mother Inger has an $11.5million home in an exclusive section of Palm Beach.
But Bettina lives in a relatively modest $860,000 three-bed townhouse in West Palm Beach.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Don Jr. and Bettina for comment.
The rendezvous at The Honor Bar came just four months after Don Jr. showered his fiancée Kimberly with loving words on social media to mark their sixth year together.
‘Happy 6 year anniversary @kimberlyguilfoyle thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way. I love you,’ he gushed in an Instagram post.
