Melania Trump Wasn’t the Only Person Curiously Missing From Donald Trump’s Election Night Party
Donald Trump enjoyed a celebratory night at Mar-a-Lago after he was declared the president-elect on Election Day. His family gathered at his Palm Beach, Florida residence to commemorate the event, but there were two prominent people missing from the festivities.
Melania Trump, the future first lady for a second time, and Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, were both absent from the evening. The public might not have been clued into that curious detail, but Donald Jr.’s oldest daughter, Kai, 17, spilled the tea without even realizing it.

The high school junior posted a snapshot on X of the Trump family at her grandfather’s luxurious golf club. “The whole squad,” she wrote which included Elon Musk and his son, X, 4, from his relationship with Grimes. Well, it was sort of the whole squad unless Melania and Guilfoyle’s absence signals something else?
It’s no secret that Melania makes appearances on her terms and will likely be a part-time first lady after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2025. She was by her husband’s side on Election Day, wearing her dark sunglasses inside while they visited a polling site, and she was there for his victory speech. Still, Guilfoyle’s AWOL status is raising eyebrows.

There have been rumors that her relationship with Donald Jr. was rocky due to allegations of an affair between Donald Trump’s oldest son and a Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 37, according to the Daily Mail. The rumors surfaced in mid-September and witnesses have reportedly spotted the duo engaging in PDA in the Palm Beach area.
“She seemed totally smitten with Don – and he with her,” a source told the media outlet. “They looked totally relaxed, she wearing a white shirt tied off to show her midriff and wide-leg pants, he in shorts and a t-shirt.” A second source added, “They were definitely on a date. They weren’t exactly making out, but the kisses were romantic, and you could tell they were intimate with each other.”
Other Trump insiders have noticed that Guilfoyle has been missing from a number of family events. His ex-wife Vanessa Trump is often there, but Guilfoyle isn’t. The last time Donald Jr. posted his fiancée on his Instagram feed was on April 24 to celebrate their six-year anniversary. “Happy 6 year anniversary @kimberlyguilfoyle thanks for always being there no matter what the haters are throwing our way. I love you,” he wrote in the caption.
While nobody from Donald Jr. or Guilfoyle’s team has addressed the affair and breakup allegations, her Election Night absence certainly raises a few eyebrows. As the Trump family prepares for their relocation to Washington, D.C., the couple will likely have to address whether they are moving forward with their relationship or not.
