Trump Jr. reportedly introduced his new girlfriend publicly during dinner at his father’s Mar-a-Lago club on Wednesday night.
Sources described the couple as “clearly in love,” noting that they didn’t attempt to conceal their affection as they “laughed and whispered to each other in the buffet line,” according to Page Six.
Insiders also revealed that Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle’s relationship began to deteriorate in March when she invited hundreds of guests to her 55th birthday celebration at their home in Jupiter, Florida. Reportedly, Trump Jr. was absent for parts of the evening, allegedly retreating to his bedroom.
Others suggest that Trump Jr. has grown increasingly uncomfortable with Guilfoyle’s revealing wardrobe, her vibrant public displays, and her penchant for a party lifestyle, which may clash with the Trump family’s growing awareness of its presidential legacy.
According to a former colleague at Fox News, the lawyer-turned-activist was often referred to as “the Margarita girl” due to her fondness for the popular cocktail and the party lifestyle that comes with it.
Trump Jr. also reportedly has a problem with Guilfoyle’s increasingly tight-fitting outfits (Guilfoyle is pictured at NYFW in 2019).

While there is no indication that Guilfoyle regularly drinks excessively, alcohol certainly plays a significant role in the Trump family dynamics.
Trump Jr., who has had his share of partying during his college years, is known to take his sobriety very seriously. His sister, Ivanka, also steers clear of alcohol.
Their father, Donald, is famously a teetotaler, a choice influenced by the alcoholism that led to the death of his older brother, Fred Jr., at just 42 years old.
According to People magazine, a source close to the family believes that Trump Jr.’s new partner will be a “better fit.”
“Don Jr. has always wanted to make a good impression on his father,” the source stated.
“Someone like Bettina, who has been a model and moves in the affluent circles of Palm Beach, is something that would impress him.”
Another source reportedly confirmed that Trump Jr. is not fond of Guilfoyle’s fashion choices, saying, “The tight dresses need to go, and she has been advised about that.”
