Kimberly Guilfoyle, who recently resigned as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, reportedly plans to remain in Europe to find a wealthy husband, according to a source speaking to Page Six. Guilfoyle stepped down on Tuesday after the White House requested her resignation amid allegations of improper conduct detailed in The Wall Street Journal.
Despite the circumstances of her departure, Guilfoyle has denied the accusations and stated her intention to "vigorously defend" herself. However, an unnamed insider suggested that she is "embarrassed to come back to the U.S.. She’s ashamed" and that her current plan involves seeking a "rich husband in Europe."
President Donald Trump, whose son Donald Trump Jr. was previously engaged to Guilfoyle, commented on her resignation by stating, "She, I guess, dated my son a long time ago. But she went to Greece. She was doing a good job, but we didn’t like what we were reading."
The allegations against Guilfoyle include close personal ties with lobbyist Christos Marafatsos, for whom she allegedly advocated. Reports suggest Marafatsos frequently attended official meetings, leading foreign officials to believe he was her chief of staff. Guilfoyle has also been accused of soliciting a $3 million investment for her vodka company, Polished Rice, from a Greek businessman around the time of her confirmation. Additionally, she is alleged to have asked Trump donor Eric Deters to cover a $100,000 American Express bill before her confirmation hearing, in exchange for assistance with his tax and legal issues. Further reports indicate she boasted at Davos about receiving private jet trips and luxury hotel stays from Greek magnates.
Guilfoyle's previous ambassadorial role followed her breakup with Donald Trump Jr. in December 2024, shortly before he married his current wife, Bettina Anderson. Trump reportedly told associates he nominated Guilfoyle for the Greece ambassadorship "for his son’s sake" and that he "had to get her out of here."
Guilfoyle, who also campaigned for Trump, was previously married to Gavin Newsom, the current Governor of California, from 2001 to 2006.
She previously stated, "I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service."
Guilfoyle and her lawyer, Jesse Binnall, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
