Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle have reportedly been engaged “for nearly a year.” Sources close to the pair told Page Six that Trump Jr. proposed to the latter on New Year's Eve in 2020 but kept the engagement out of the public eye.

However, engagement rumors came to light after the former Fox News reporter flaunted a huge diamond ring on her finger while posting a photo for her partner’s birthday this weekend.

In the photo, the 52-year-old can be seen posing with her fiance in front of a Christmas tree. While Guilfoyle has reportedly worn the bling at private gatherings before, this is the first time she has donned the ring in public.

News of their engagement was further confirmed to The Daily Mail by an insider:

“Don and Kim got engaged on New Year’s Eve 2020 — which is Don’s birthday. They’ve been together for almost four years now and have been friends for 15 years. They’ve kept it private for the past year as they settled into life in Florida after moving from New York.”

The couple began dating in 2018 and are ready to walk down the aisle. Both have children from prior relationships.

Donald Trump Jr. shares five children with ex-wife Vanessa Trump, and Kimberly Guilfoyle shares a son with former husband Eric Villency. She was also married to California Governor Gavin Newsom for four years until their divorce in 2005.
