Bettina Anderson changes Instagram name to ‘Bettina Trump’ days after Bahamas wedding with Donald Trump Jr
Bettina Anderson recently married Donald Trump Jr. and updated her Instagram to Bettina Trump.
Bettina Anderson has updated her Instagram identity to Bettina Trump just days after her wedding celebrations with Donald Trump Jr. The pair tied the knot in Florida last Thursday, followed by a more elaborate celebration in the Bahamas over the weekend with close friends and family.
While the legal marriage reportedly took place in Florida, the Bahamas event served as a larger, celebratory gathering.
US President Donald Trump was not in attendance at the festivities.
‘Mrs. Trump’ details surface online
Alongside the Instagram handle update, Anderson also shared a series of post-wedding Instagram Story moments that leaned heavily into her new married identity.
Among the posts were personalized items featuring “Mrs. Trump” branding, including monogrammed displays and customized sweets. Another image showed her initials “B.T.” presented in a styled setup.
Reported response to name-change speculation
According to The New York Times, Anderson also directly addressed speculation about whether she would keep her maiden name. The outlet reported that she texted a journalist over the weekend to shut down rumors, making clear she intended to adopt the Trump surname.
That reported message contradicted online chatter suggesting she might continue using “Anderson” professionally.
The Bahamas wedding
According to Page Six, the wedding was organized by Lewis Miller Design, which also organized other events for Carolina Herrera and taught a floral arrangement lesson for Meghan Markle's baby shower.
For the luncheon, Anderson fashioned a white strapless sheath dress with white floral stone embroidery. It is, however, currently unknown what she wore for her wedding celebration in the Bahamas.
Sweet Stacy's, a Palm Beach bakery, made the cake for the luncheon, and the menu was calligraphed by upscale stationer Bernard Maisner.
Palm Beach socialites Audrey Gruss, Amy Phelan, and Yaz Hernandez hosted the luncheon. Anderson congratulated and thanked her "INCREDIBLE hostesses, Audrey, Amy, and Yaz" for the “thoughtful, elegant, and love-filled day” in a separate Instagram post.
On Thursday, the pair legally exchanged vows in front of about forty people, including Don Jr.'s six children with his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, as well as his siblings Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany Trump and their spouses.
Some of Bettina's close friends and relatives were also in attendance.
Following her wedding celebrations in the Bahamas, Anderson posted a picture of her wedding ring. The Palm Beach, Florida, socialite clutched hands with her new husband in a black-and-white photo she posted to Instagram story on Saturday.
