President Trump stunningly referred to Kimberly Guilfoyle — his son’s ex-fiancée, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ex-wife and the current US ambassador to Greece — as “Kimber-lay” during a Greek independence day celebration at the White House.

“I love calling her ‘Kimber-lay,’ that’s my little pet name, right?” Trump said as he invited her to stand alongside him on stage. “But you are the greatest and I heard they love you over there. And I hope you come back here in 12 years or whenever the term ends.”
Donald Trump Jr. ended his six-year relationship with Guilfoyle, 57, in December 2024 — the same month the president announced his intention to nominate her for the far-flung diplomatic posting in Athens.
She previously was wedded to Newsom, a front-runner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, between 2001 and 2006, and before that was married to businessman Eric Villency.
