Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson have officially married in a private ceremony in Palm Beach, marking the beginning of a larger wedding celebration planned for the Bahamas over Memorial Day weekend. The couple exchanged vows on May 21 during an intimate gathering attended by close family members and friends.
The ceremony took place at the West Palm Beach home of Anderson’s twin sister, Kristina McPherson. Bradley McPherson, a real estate attorney and Anderson’s brother-in-law, officiated the event.
While the couple has already legally wed, a second, more elaborate celebration is expected to take place in the Bahamas in the coming days. President Donald Trump confirmed that he would not attend the festivities, citing commitments in Washington, D.C.

Born in December 1986, Anderson is the daughter of entrepreneur Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and philanthropist Inger Anderson. Her father served on the board of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and was also involved with the American Red Cross at the national level.

The nonprofit later rebranded as Paradise.ngo in 2023, with Anderson taking on the role of executive director.
She has also been involved in fundraising efforts in Palm Beach, including initiatives supporting historic preservation and environmental stewardship.
