Bettina Trump has jetted off on a trip to London with her pal Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and some fans were left stunned over their friendship.
The vacation comes just weeks after Bettina, 39, wed Donald Trump Jr, 48, in a romantic and intimate Bahamas wedding celebration over Memorial Day Weekend.
The loved-up couple headed to the glamorous Norman’s Cay island after their Palm Beach ceremony for a sun-soaked event limited to their closest friends and family members, including Tiffany Trump and Ivanka Trump.
And now, it seems like Bettina is off jet-setting again, this time to London with her close friend Nicky.
Bettina took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to share a sweet picture of her and Nicky hanging out while doing some shopping in the England capital.
'Missed this gorgeous girl @nickyhilton,' Bettina wrote in white text on top of the picture, alongside an emoji of the British flag and some red hearts.
The adorable photo showed the two women posing together on a couch, as they both smiled and wore matching black sunglasses.
Bettina was dressed casually in a pair of light-wash, straight-leg jeans, a black jacket and a silky scarf, while Nicky sported black pants and a camel-colored coat.

It seems like their friendship spans for decades, as the two were pictured together at a party in New York City in 2009, along with Nicky's sister, Paris, and model Alexandra Richards. Bettina is seen on the far right, while Nicky is seen in the middle
It comes after Bettina attended the F1 Grand Prix in Monte-Carlo, Monaco, with Don Jr. last week.
While it seems like Bettina and Nicky have been friends for quite some time, the post shocked some of Bettina's fans and garnered mixed reactions online.
On the NYC Influencer Snark subreddit page, one user posted the picture of the two of them, writing, 'Nicky Hilton and Bettina Trump are friends?!?!'
In response, some users admitted that it didn't come as a surprise to them, while others shared their disappointment over Nicky spending time with the newest member of the Trump family.
'Not shocking at all,' one person wrote. Another wondered: 'Why are we surprised?'
'Fork found in kitchen unfortunately,' someone else sarcastically typed.
It seems like the two have known each other for quite a while.
Both Bettina and Nicky are fixtures in the Palm Beach social scene, as they are often staples at the many luxury events thrown in the area.
In 2025, they were pictured together again, as they posed with Bijou Philips at the Art Production Fund's 2025 Gala

While it's unclear if Nicky attended Bettina's recent intimate wedding in the Bahamas, she did not appear to be in any photos posted from the celebration.
Meanwhile, all of the Trump children and spouses were there - including Ivanka, Tiffany and Eric Trump.
The couple's marriage certificate, obtained by the Daily Mail, showed that the president's eldest son and the glamorous socialite officially became husband and wife in a secret ceremony held at the West Palm Beach home of Anderson's sister, Kristina McPherson, just a few days before.
Shortly after they got married, Bettina took to her Instagram Stories to share a look at their wedding bands along with a gushing message to Don Jr.
She posted a black-and-white shot of their hands, with their understated silver rings on full display.

'Forever yours, forever mine,' she wrote with a white heart.
She followed it up with a message that said: 'The whole point is to marry your best friend.'
Just a year after Don Jr's public split from newly minted Greek ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, he began dating Bettina before popping the question with a giant eight–carat diamond ring this past holiday season.
The engagement news was revealed by his father, President Trump, during a Christmas White House reception.
It seems like Bettina already has approval from her new family. In April, Ivanka gushed over Bettina, posting intimate pictures of her bridal shower.
In a handful of sweet photos posted to Instagram by Ivanka, Bettina smiled alongside her new family, which included sisters–in–law Ivanka, Tiffany and Lara Trump, as well as her new niece, Ivanka and Jared Kushner's daughter, Arabella, 14.
The ladies all posed together, smiling side by side, and laughing in another adorable snap.
