Others continued to chime in.
"It was pretty clear that they were both miserable and they had an arrangement that lasted through the campaign. No surprise here," a netizen wrote.
"Can’t wait to hear about the NDA," another netizen wrote.
“Family Values” a user wrote.

Exploring further about Bettina Anderson in the wake of her appearance with Donald Trump Jr.
According to Daily Mail, Bettina Anderson is a model, influencer, socialite, philanthropist, and fashionista from Florida who lives in her $860,000 property near Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach. She is an art history major from Columbia University.
Bettina is the daughter of affluent banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and his wife Inger, a former model and socialite. Anderson reportedly co-founded the charity The Paradise Fund, which aims to provide welfare and education to kids worldwide. She is also involved in various other organizations, including Project Paradise Film Fund, The Everglades Foundation, and The Society of the Four Arts.
“I am so proud of one of my most recent projects I am doing with the Project Paradise Film Fund initiative. One of the greatest focuses of my life is how I can be of service to others and a be steward of the environment,” Bettina reportedly shared during a 2022 interview with Fashion Week Daily.
During the same interview, she also credited her mother and friends, Ivey Leidy and Hope Smith, as her biggest inspiration. However, Anderson maintains a private life, especially when it comes to dating. She was earlier rumored to be romantically involved with billionaire William “Beau” Wrigley.
Bettina is reportedly friends with Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, Vanessa, and was present at the Republican National Convention in September.
Sources close to Donald Trump Jr., 46, told People Magazine in September that he and Kimberly Guilfoyle, 55, had reportedly been spending time apart. Meanwhile, Daily Mail, in a report, claimed that Trump Jr. and Bettina were spotted kissing in public over the summer of this year, despite him being engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
For those unaware, Donald Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle began dating in early 2018 after years of knowing each other and later got engaged in 2020. However, it wasn’t until 2022 that the news was made public. Ever since, they were seen together in their beachfront family estate in Jupiter, Florida, and the President-elect’s campaigns. They were last spotted together in public on November 12.
Before Kimberly, Donald Trump Jr. was married to Vanessa Trump from 2005 to 2018. Meanwhile, Guilfoyle was married to California Governor Gavin Newsom between 2001 and 2006. Donald Trump recently named her the US Ambassador to Greece, while Trump Jr. congratulated her on social media.
