After a relationship that lasted for six years, much of which they spent engaged, Donald Trump, Jr., and former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle have split up, the New York Post confirmed this week. The son of the president-elect has been photographed several times, since last summer, with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. There has been no public announcement of Trump and Guilfoyle no longer being engaged.

Most people arenโ€™t able to get over the awkwardness of their sonโ€™s broken engagement by shipping his ex-fiancee halfway around the world, but Donald Trump isnโ€™t like most people. He has announced the appointment of Guilfoyle as the next Ambassador to Greece.

Don Jr. did congratulate his possibly ex-fiancee:

One of numerous former Fox News hosts who will be part of the new administration, Guilfoyle lacks any diplomatic experience. However, her diplomatic posting will also avoid another bit of awkwardness: She was formerly married to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and should he run for president in 2028 and the topic inevitably comes up, Guilfoyle wonโ€™t be around.

People magazine reported on some details of the split. Don Jr., per the report, has been seeing Anderson for about six months, while Guilfoyle โ€œlooked the other way because she loves the power and lifestyle.โ€

โ€œDon is ready to move on and has been doing so anyway,โ€ Peopleโ€™s source said. โ€œHe just wants things to end as nicely as possible.โ€

The 38-year-old Anderson is younger than Don โ€” Guilfoyle is nine years his senior โ€” and is described by People as โ€œa big Republican, and wild.โ€ It also appears that Guilfoyleโ€™s diplomatic appointment was Andersonโ€™s idea, as she โ€œpushed for her to be shipped off.โ€

In addition, People pointed out another reason for the split: Guilfoyleโ€™s fashion choices.

โ€œDon Jr. has been telling people for months that Kim is so uptight and always dresses so professionally in these kinds of dresses and high heels, and never looks relaxed or casual,โ€  one source told the magazne. โ€œThe tight dresses need to go and she has been told that.โ€

โ€œDon Jr. has always wanted to look good in his fatherโ€™s eyes,โ€ the source tells PEOPLE. โ€œSomeone like Bettina, who is and has been a model, and is in Waspy circles of Palm Beach is something that would impress him.โ€
