Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom finds it “interesting” that his ex-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is now dating Donald Trump Jr.
In an interview for PROFILE by BuzzFeed News running Friday night, editor-in-chief Ben Smith asked Newsom if President Trump has ever brought up his son’s relationship with Guilfoyle during any of their conversations. Newsom’s response? A coy, “We may have had a private moment on that conversation, which in and of itself, makes life just interesting.”
When asked again about the relationship, Newsom reiterated, “Life’s interesting.”
Guilfoyle, 50, and Newsom, 51, were married from 2001 to 2006. As Page Six exclusively revealed, Don Jr., 41, and Guilfoyle were first romantically linked in May 2018, amid his divorce from wife Vanessa Trump.
Newsom and President Trump recently made headlines together after Trump claimed Newsom called him “one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.” Newsom later told Anderson Cooper that while he did phone the president to extend his gratitude for his help during the California wildfires, he never made that characterization. “The people in those communities were grateful to him, I was grateful to him … somehow that got conflated,” Newsom said. But he added, “I do want to work with him.”
