(NewsNation) — Earlier this week, the Daily Mail ran allegations that Don Trump Jr. is fooling around on his longtime fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle.
“The former president’s son was spotted canoodling with glamorous ‘it girl’ Bettina Anderson, 37, during an intimate brunch date last month,” the Mail said. Claiming Guilfoyle was “blindsided,” the Mail then ran pics of Trump Jr., Anderson and his ex-wife Vanessa at a family gathering.
But my sources pooh-poohed the Anderson story and scoffed at any word of a split.
“Kimberly and Don are just fine,” my sources said.
