Bettina Trump may be facing tension with her new mother-in-law, and astrological signs could be to blame.
The 39-year-old wed Donald Trump Jr. earlier this month in the Bahamas, just days after quietly formalizing their union through a Florida marriage application in May. The couple hosted an intimate ceremony on Little Pipe Cay, a private Bahamian island, on Saturday, May 23.
A select group of guests attended, including the groom's siblings, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump, along with their respective partners. Notably absent, however, were President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and their son Barron.

Their non-attendance immediately sparked interest and speculation regarding a potential family divide. Although Trump had previously blamed presidential obligations for missing the event, sources revealed to Hollywood insider Rob Shuter that he skipped his son's nuptials because Melania purportedly "refused" to attend, reports the Irish Star.
"Melania did not want to spend a full weekend with Donald's adult children from previous marriages," a source told Naughty But Nice. "That tension has existed for years, even if nobody says it publicly."
As for Barron, he allegedly missed the celebration due to his disconnected relationship with his older half-siblings. "Barron grew up in a completely different world from Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany," another insider explained.
"There's emotional distance there, and everyone in the family knows it."
With speculation mounting about family dynamics, Irish Star consulted astrology expert TJ Higgs to examine the compatibility between Bettina and Melania, following reports from a source close to the model suggesting she has her sights set on the First Lady position.
TJ explained, "The dynamic between Bettina Anderson and Melania Trump is rather different. Melania, born under the sign of Taurus, embodies many qualities that contrast with Sagittarius energy. Taurus is grounded, private, patient, and security-minded."
"While Sagittarius thrives on exploration and movement, Taurus prefers consistency and stability. These differences do not automatically create conflict, but they can lead to very different approaches to life."
She added, "Bettina's natural inclination may be to engage with people, ideas, and opportunities as they arise, whereas Melania's Taurus nature is more likely to favor caution, privacy, and carefully considered decisions.
"Bettina may admire Melania's composure and ability to remain calm under intense public scrutiny, while Melania may appreciate Bettina's confidence, warmth and social ease."
TJ further observed, "If there were ever areas of tension between them, they would likely stem from their differing attitudes towards change. Sagittarius tends to embrace it, while Taurus prefers to preserve what is already working.
"Yet astrology suggests this would be less a rivalry and more a contrast of styles. Both signs possess strong wills, but they express that strength in very different ways."
TJ concluded, "Bettina and Melania Trump represent two distinct expressions of feminine strength. One is adventurous and future-focused, the other grounded and measured. Whether viewed through the lens of relationships, family or public life, these dynamics offer a fascinating glimpse into how personality and temperament can shape the connections between people.
"They reflect two very different but equally strong approaches to life - one adventurous and future-focused, the other grounded and quietly resilient."
