Kimberly Guilfoyle Faces Cold Shoulder from Trump Women After Resignation

Kimberly Guilfoyle, former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., is reportedly experiencing a lack of support from within the tight-knit Trump family following her recent resignation as the U.S. ambassador to Greece. Sources suggest that not everyone in the family fold is sympathetic to her current situation.

Guilfoyle, who was engaged to Donald Trump Jr. from 2018 until their relationship ended in 2024, had previously been a visible figure alongside the Trump family. However, recent events indicate a cooling of relationships, particularly from some of the women in the family.

Sources close to the former president stated that Donald Trump himself delivered a sharp remark, telling reporters, "No, she wasn't a member of my family," in the lead-up to her departure from her diplomatic post. This comment reportedly left Guilfoyle devastated.

Reports suggest that Ivanka Trump and Guilfoyle were never particularly close. The tension was highlighted in 2022 when Ivanka cropped Guilfoyle out of a photograph taken at Tiffany Trump's wedding at Mar-a-Lago, an image that also featured Melania Trump and other family members. While sources close to Ivanka insisted at the time that the omission was an oversight, it has been re-examined in light of current events.

Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, is said to be genuinely upset about Guilfoyle's challenging transition, viewing it as an uncomfortable period after years of her support for the family. However, this sentiment does not appear to be universally shared.

Melania Trump, according to accounts, did not pay much attention to Guilfoyle during her relationship with Donald Trump Jr., and observers do not expect a change in her stance now. Guilfoyle's public silence from the family she was once poised to marry into is said to be devastating for her.

The apparent snub of Guilfoyle comes as the Trump women have reportedly embraced Bettina Anderson, Donald Trump Jr.'s new wife, whom he began dating in 2024 while still engaged to Guilfoyle. Guilfoyle had frequently shared posts about her fiancé and his family during their relationship.
