President Donald Trump’s 16-year-old grandson showed his support in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday for Kimberly Guilfoyle, 56, as she attended her confirmation hearing to be the ambassador to Greece.
Donald Trump III, the son of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, was present in the front row behind Guilfoyle during her joint hearing with four other nominees before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He was next to Guilfoyle’s son, Ronan Villency, 18, and her younger brother, Anthony ‘Tony’ Guilfoyle Jr., 53.
The stylish nominee known for her affinity for colorful, tight dresses opted for a more refined look to take on lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
She donned wide-framed specs and a black wide-legged pants suit with a white blouse featuring a neckline bow detail.
Guilfoyle’s long-term engagement to Don Jr. ended unexpectedly last year. Having been part of the lives of his five children during their formative years, she was close to becoming their stepmother.
Palm Beach insiders tell the Daily Mail that she still has a relationship with Don Jr.’s children.

‘I would like to offer special thanks and love to my son, my brother, Tony, and to Donnie Trump for their steadfast support,’ Guilfoyle said during her opening remarks before the Senate panel gathered for her confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
White House Presidential Personnel Office Director Sergio Gor also came to Capitol Hill to support Guilfoyle. He left the hearing room promptly after her opening remarks.
Guilfoyle was introduced by Sen. Bill Haggerty (R-Tenn.) and was joined in the hot seats by four other nominees for the joint hearing.
The hearing was also for the questioning ahead of voting to move confirmations to the floor for Anjani Sinha to be ambassador to Singapore; Jeffrey Bartos to be representative to the United Nations for Management and Reform; Lynda Blanchard to be representative to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture; and Jennifer Locetta to be representative for Special Political Affairs at the UN.
President Trump announced in December his intention to nominate his almost-daughter-in-law and key campaign surrogate to be ambassador to Greece in his second term.
‘I extend my sincerest gratitude to the president for his faith in my abilities,’ Guilfoyle said during Wednesday’s remarks before a group of senators.

Her nomination came just a few months after news broke that the president’s eldest son was dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson and was no longer in a relationship with Guilfoyle.
Still, Don Jr. posted to X his congratulations to his ex-fiancée on her nomination.
Guilfoyle, before her relationship with Don Jr., was married for five years to Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom while he was mayor of San Francisco. She spent years as a co-host on the Fox News program The Five.
During the short confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Guilfoyle faced a few questions from senators related to Greece’s relationship with the U.S., Israel, Cyprus and the rise in tensions with Turkey.
No Democrats who directed questions at Guilfoyle on Wednesday appeared particularly opposed to her confirmation, though not every member of the panel decided to show up for the hearing.
Guilfoyle dated Donald Trump Jr. for years and was engaged until late last year, when the two split amid news that the president’s son was now dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson
