Dating & Relationship Status
Kimberly Guilfoyle was previously married to Gavin Newsom, the current Governor of California, from 2001 to 2006. She later entered a high-profile relationship with Donald Trump Jr., which ended in 2022. Her personal life has been closely followed by the media, particularly due to her association with influential political figures.
Guilfoyle's mother, Mercedes, taught special education. She died of leukemia when Guilfoyle was 11. In 1958, while still an Irish citizen, he was drafted and spent four years in the U.S. Army. After being discharged from the army, Tony Guilfoyle took up work in the construction trades. He later became a real estate investor. Until his death in 2008, he was a close advisor to his son-in-law Gavin Newsom, who was San Francisco mayor.
In 2003, by which time her then-husband Gavin Newsom was the front-running candidate in the 2003 San Francisco mayoral election, Guilfoyle publicly accused her fellow assistant DA Kamala Harris (who was running in the 2003 election for district attorney) of being unwelcoming towards her. This accusation stemmed from a period years earlier, during Guilfoyle's re-hiring at the San Francisco district attorney's office. Harris denied this accusation. Guilfoyle did provide positive comments on Harris' qualifications for office; she described Harris as someone that would "work very hard" if elected district attorney, as well as being "very smart" and "a good speaker".
In 1995, Guilfoyle worked on the reelection campaign of district attorney Arlo Smith. Around this time, she was also a regular fixture at political fundraisers organized by oil billionaire Gordon Getty, whose son William she dated. (It is not publicly known what the timeline is on Guilfoyle's relationship with Billy Getty. )
At the Republican National Convention in August 2020, Guilfoyle gave a speech endorsing Trump that was widely described by some observers as unnecessarily loud, or unhinged. Others in media described it as passionate. She was criticized for describing herself as a first-generation American when her mother was from Puerto Rico and thus an American citizen. She is a first generation American on her father's side, as he immigrated to the United States from Ireland.
In June 2018, Vanessa Trump, who had filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr. three months earlier, confirmed that Guilfoyle was dating Trump. In mid-2019, Guilfoyle and Trump jointly purchased a $4.4 million home in The Hamptons. They sold it in March 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic for $8.14 million. Also in March 2021, the couple jointly purchased a $9.7 million home in Jupiter, Florida. Guilfoyle and Trump became engaged on December 31, 2020. The news of the engagement was not made public until January 2022. Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. cohabited in their Jupiter residence from 2021 until it was put up for sale in 2025. After news reports of Donald Trump Jr. dating another woman became public in late 2024, Guilfoyle and Trump mutually ended their romantic relationship (and marital engagement).
Guilfoyle has also faced separate allegations of making sexually explicit comments at fundraisers. In 2004, it was reported that in speaking on behalf of then-husband, Gavin Newsom, at the Empire State Pride Agenda gay rights fundraiser, Guilfoyle boasted about his attractiveness and large penis size, and implied (through innuendo and pantomiming) that she was talented at providing oral sex. This was treated in San Francisco as a political controversy. Guilfoyle subsequently denied that her arm gestures were meant to be a sexually explicit pantomime.

Her income for the previous year exceeded $1.7 million, as revealed in her financial disclosures. Her salary as U.S. Ambassador to Greece could range from $166,438 to $230,947, although some reports suggest it could be higher, potentially up to $235,100.
Career, Business, and Investments
Guilfoyle's career has been diverse and successful. She began as a prosecutor and assistant district attorney in San Francisco before transitioning to television, where she became a co-host on Fox News programs like The Five and Outnumbered. She left Fox News in 2018 to work in politics, supporting Donald Trump's campaign. Her appointment as U.S. Ambassador to Greece in December 2024 marks a significant shift in her professional life.
In addition to her television and political roles, Guilfoyle has made notable real estate investments. She purchased an apartment in the Beresford building in Manhattan for $3.5 million in 2015 and later listed it for sale at nearly $5 million in 2020.
After law school, Guilfoyle taught in a public school district and briefly worked as a prosecutor in San Francisco. She lost her job in 1996 when Terence Hallinan was elected district attorney and fired 14 of the city's prosecutors. Guilfoyle worked for four years in Los Angeles as a deputy district attorney, serving on adult and juvenile cases. She received several awards at the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, including Prosecutor of the Month.
In December 2016, it was reported that Guilfoyle was being considered for the position of press secretary for the 45th United States president Donald Trump. Sean Spicer was considered the front-runner for the position, and was ultimately selected. On the May 12, 2017, edition of The Five, co-host Bob Beckel hinted that Guilfoyle turned the job down. In an interview with Bay Area News Group on May 15, 2017, Guilfoyle confirmed she was in contact with the White House about the position following Spicer's resignation. She said: I'm a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country. I think it'd be a fascinating job, it's a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to be able to handle that position. On May 19, Guilfoyle said she was under contract with Fox, indicating she turned the White House down. One month later, she extended her contract with Fox.
In 2020, Guilfoyle was reported to be the chair of the finance committee of the Trump Victory Committee. As of early 2020, the Trump campaign was secretly paying Guilfoyle $15,000 per month through the campaign manager's private company, Parscale Strategy. Guilfoyle served as a surrogate on the stump and took on broad advisory roles. In the Trump 2020 campaign, Guilfoyle managed a fund-raising division. This division paid socialite Somers Farkas to raise money. The fundraising division managed by Guilfoyle was in internal turmoil amid departures of experienced staff and accusations of irresponsible spending. In November 2020, Politico's reporting alleged that Guilfoyle had engaged in sexually explicit conversations during private Trump fundraisers that had made some attendees uncomfortable. Politico reported that many campaign insiders alleged that this was part of severe human resources problems that plagued fundraising division, likely damaging the Trump campaign's ability to keep pace with the Biden campaign's fundraising.

At the event, two people were arrested and five were injured. Two years earlier, white nationalist Richard B. Spencer had preceded them as an invited speaker, generating similar controversy.
