Vanessa Trump is reportedly having a difficult time, according to Star. In a June 5 report, a source told the outlet that her ex-husband Donald Trump Jr.’s recent wedding to socialite Bettina Anderson has left Vanessa feeling pretty upset.
The source noted that while Vanessa “doesn’t deprive Don Jr. the right to be happy,” she’s still hurt “that the kids now have this new stepmom.”
“Vanessa’s being mature, but that doesn’t take away her anxiety,” they added. “Vanessa is a mama bear, and is terrified that something horrible could happen to her kids.”

Now, the wedding doesn’t exactly come at a good time in Vanessa’s life. On May 20, just days before Don Jr. and Bettina said “I do,” Vanessa took to Instagram and revealed that she’s been diagnosed with cancer.
“I want to share a personal update. I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. While this isn’t news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,” she wrote. “I would like to thank my doctors for performing a procedure earlier this week on me. I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me.”
She went on to thank her followers for their “kindness and support,” saying it meant “more than I can express.” Vanessa also asked for “privacy as I focus on my health and recovery.”
The source told Star that Vanessa was “devastated” when she learned of the diagnosis. “So much of her world is falling apart at once,” they continued. “[Her boyfriend] Tiger [Woods] is away and she’s worried about her kids’ safety. Then comes the cancer diagnosis, which is the straw that broke the camel’s back. There’s no question this is the toughest time of her life.”
As she battles cancer, Vanessa’s top priority is being there for her and Don Jr.’s kids. “She knows how worried they are on her behalf.”
