Kimberly Guilfoyle was reportedly blind sighted by Don Jr’s new relationship and was still seen with Don last month. AP

The sources who spoke with The Post shared a similar sentiment, questioning her motives and whether she will use Don Jr. to merely gain more influence.

For her part, Guilfoyle has been looking forward to the “future” after splitting from her 46-year-old ex-fiancé.

“Kimberly realizes she needs to focus on the future and she’s very excited about her next step as an ambassador. She’s still as big of an ally to the president as ever. But definitely some frustration and disappointment over how she was treated in recent weeks,” the source said.

“I think part of it is she’s a bit worried for Don because if there are some nefarious intentions from this new woman, that would just be awful. Don’s great and has done an awesome job on the transition. Would just be unfortunate to have a self-inflicted wound.”

Anderson and Trump transition spokespeople did not respond to inquiries sent by The Post.
