She described the ceremony as “simple, sacred, beautiful, and more joyful than anything I could have ever dreamed.”
The bride wore an ivory “sleek French silk gown” by Safiyaa, accessorizing her look with an oversized headband, short veil and her hair done in loose waves.
Trump Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39, announced their engagement in December 2025 after about a year of dating.
The marriage marks Trump Jr.’s second. He and his first wife, Vanessa Trump, divorced in 2018 and share five children, including Kai Trump.
