Attending a new partner's big family events for the first time is always going to be intimidating - but over the past 48 hours, Bettina Anderson has had the added pressure of the world's eyes watching. The socialite, 38, from Florida, who has only reportedly been dating Donald Trump Jr for a matter of months, attended the president's pre-inauguration firework display at the Trump National Golf Club on Saturday night as well as a donor dinner party the following evening.

However, the social media star - who jokes she's a 'typical stay-at-home mom without a husband and children' - was notably absent from last night's Presidential Inauguration Ball, amid fears she isn't 'MAGA enough'. Instead, Donald Trump Jr, 47, walked onto the stage at the black-tie event with his 17-year-old daughter Kai - who is one of the five children he shares with ex-wife Vanessa.

While President Trump's other children were joined by their other halves, Donald Jr happily danced with his youngest daughter Chloe - while Kai and her brother Donald III swayed on stage too. In what was wrongly reported as a potential last-minute snub, Bettina gave up the chance to witness the historic Swearing In ceremony in person, to make room for the likes of tech movers and shakers Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg.

One source told DailyMail.com that even some eight-figure donors had to be left out of the event. Pictured: Bettina Anderson, Donald Trump Jr's new girlfriend, posted this photo of her houndstooth outfit that she wore to the inauguration parade yesterday.
