A single photograph of Donald Trump Jr. sparked a social media frenzy this week. The 47-year-old was captured from an angle that made his chest appear unusually broad, and the internet quickly took notice. Critics mocked the image relentlessly, with some questioning if it was altered and others making cheeky comments about his appearance.
Rather than shy away from the attention, Trump Jr. embraced it in true family fashion. His girlfriend Bettina Anderson, a Palm Beach socialite with a sharp sense of humor, led the charge. She reposted the viral image on Instagram with a playful caption about their “cup sizes” and added coconut emojis for good measure.
Anderson continued the teasing with another witty line: “I fell for his heart… and accidentally bounced off his chest.” The 38-year-old Columbia graduate, known for her environmental philanthropy, showed she could match the internet’s energy while keeping things lighthearted.
Trump Jr. joined in the fun by tagging American Eagle clothing brand in a post. Sharing the image again, he quipped, “Yo, @americaneagle call me!” He later added that while his chest wasn’t small, it was “definitely too solid to motorboat”—a nod to Sydney Sweeney’s recent denim campaign with the brand.
Anderson amplified the joke hours later, posting a photoshopped picture of Trump Jr. in a denim-on-denim “Canadian tuxedo” with the caption: “My guy… Get at us @AmericanEagle.” The couple clearly decided to lean into the viral moment rather than retreat from it.
The relationship between Trump Jr. and Anderson first drew attention at last summer’s Republican National Convention. By fall, they were seen together frequently, and winter brought official confirmation. For Trump Jr., who previously ended a five-year engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle, this chapter appears noticeably lighter.
Whether American Eagle responds to their campaign remains uncertain. But Trump Jr. and Anderson have already demonstrated their willingness to laugh off chatter—and perhaps turn a viral “nipple-gate” moment into a branding opportunity along the way.
