Kimberly Guilfoyle, former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., has made a dramatic shift in her life following their very public breakup. Appointed by President Donald Trump, she’s now the U.S. ambassador to Greece, having already settled into her new role in Athens.
Guilfoyle’s arrival was marked by a formal presentation of credentials at the Presidential Palace on November 4th, where she engaged with Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas. During their conversation, Guilfoyle humorously alluded to finding a new husband after mentioning her previous honeymoon in Greece back in 2004. This lighthearted comment, prompted by Tasoulas’s question about the past marriage, underscored a sense of looking ahead while acknowledging her past romantic experiences.
The appointment to Greece came shortly after Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. ended their engagement in 2024. Their relationship began in 2018 following Trump Jr.’s divorce from Vanessa Trump. He has since been linked with Bettina Anderson, a Palm Beach socialite.
Guilfoyle’s personal history includes two previous marriages. She was married to Gavin Newsom from 2001 to 2006, followed by a brief union with furniture heir Eric Villency in 2006 that resulted in the birth of their son, Roman. Their divorce finalized in 2009.
While Guilfoyle’s move to Greece appears to be a fresh start, sources close to Trump Jr. and Anderson indicated in early 2025 that Anderson desired distance between herself and Guilfoyle. They reportedly sought to facilitate this by encouraging Guilfoyle’s departure abroad prior to the election cycle, aiming to avoid any potential complications for Trump Sr.’s political ambitions during a pivotal time. This strategy, it seems, has played out successfully.
The shift in Guilfoyle’s life after her high-profile relationship highlights the unpredictable nature of personal and professional trajectories within the realm of public figures. Her transition from media personality to diplomat marks a significant chapter change amidst ongoing political developments surrounding her former family ties.
