Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson waiting on Iran war before setting wedding date

Not so fast?

Page Six has reported that Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson have seemed in a hurry to get hitched.

We’ve noted that they galloped through a bridal shower and bachelorette party at his dad’s Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, and had been keen to get a White House wedding on the books.

But with the war in Iran dragging on longer than expected, it seems that they may need to wait a little longer.

“They’re very aware that a lavish wedding at the White House while people are dying wouldn’t be well-received,” said an insider. “Especially after the state dinner for King Charles — it would be too much pomp and circumstance.”

“Don was fully supportive of the bridal shower and the bachelorette party — he wants everyone to know he adores her and that they plan to get married,” added the source, “But they want to make sure the timing is right politically before actually setting a date.”

As Page Six first reported back in December, the pair got engaged after a year of dating.
