President Donald Trump is rooting for his son to fill his shoes on “The Apprentice.”
The doting father’s ears have gotten pretty full about the rumored next step for the show’s reboot and how there are talks to bring his offspring on board to replicate the magic his father created for over a decade on the show.
Rumors about Donald Trump Jr.’s possible involvement in the reality show come amid speculations that his upcoming wedding, whose date is yet to be fixed, may not be so important to his father.
Donald Trump Called His Hosting Gig On ‘The Apprentice’ A Success
Well, the rumor mills have spun to the politician’s reach inside the Oval Office, where he expressed confidence in the legacy he laid down on the show and what may happen should his son take the wheel.
In his words: “Fourteen seasons and The Apprentice was a tremendous success. So, I’ve been hearing that a little bit. So, we’ll see what happens.” He described Donald Jr. as a good guy who would be a good choice for the spot, thanks to his stunning charisma, which is great for that position.
“The Apprentice” was a fan favorite for 14 seasons, dominating the airways for 11 years with Donald Sr. in the coveted host seat, reeling out the catchphrase “You’re fired” to eliminate contestants. As stated by US Weekly, entrepreneurs were guided by the host as they competed for a $250,000 prize and a one-year contract to promote one of Trump’s properties.
Inside ‘The Apprentice’ Reboot Buzz
According to MGM Television, the reboot of the hit TV series will most likely air on Amazon Prime Video when the stage is finally set. Donald Jr. is reportedly being seriously considered behind the scenes to steer the ship of the show while contestants battle it out for the prize money.
The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, reported that the plan for reboot is still in its early stages, and Amazon has yet to approach Donald Jr. to discuss the possibility of him filling the host space.
“The Apprentice” is credited for promoting Donald Sr.’s transition from a real estate developer into a massive media celebrity, where he capitalized on that fame to pursue an even more controversial political career.
Donald Trump’s Son Is Aiming For A White House Wedding
While his TV fate is still being analyzed, the activist is currently concluding on another important aspect of his life- his marriage to socialite Bettina Anderson. The soon-to-be married couple got engaged in December 2025, with plans to tie the knot as soon as possible, preferably in the white house.
However, sources have stated that the couple has now put a pause on that moving train due to the current events in the international system, specifically the Iran war, in which the U.S. has been heavily involved.
The couple is reportedly cautious about how odd it would look to throw such an extravagant wedding party when things are heated up in the world right now. They are also sure of how much they want to be in each other’s lives, but politically, there is a right timing, and that is just not now.
Donald Jr. has proven his readiness to become Bettina’s husband by fully supporting the bridal shower and bachelorette party, flaunting just how much he adores his woman.
Inside The 48-Year-Old’s Interesting Love Life
Before meeting Bettina, Donald Jr. was previously married to Vanessa Trump, who is now in a relationship with famous golfer Tiger Woods. Parade noted that the wedding took place in 2005 at Mar-a-Lago, and the marriage ended with a divorce in 2018, resulting in five children between them.
He moved on with Kimberly Guilfoyle after his split from Vanessa in 2018, while she worked as a co-host on Fox News and was also separated from her husband Eric Villency. By 2024, sources shared that the two had called off their engagement and Donald Jr. had moved on with Bettina.
Bettina is known as a socialite from Palm Springs who has been with the activist for over a year now. The duo got engaged about a year after they allegedly got together in December 2025, with reports claiming that the surprise engagement took place at Camp David.
President Donald Trump Reportedly Operates In A Hierarchy With His Children
As noted by Stylecaster, despite Donald Jr. sharing the same first name as his father, the reality of their relationship is far from them being inseparable. According to insiders, Donald Jr.’s upcoming wedding is not exactly paramount to the politician, and it may not even be held in the White House.
The insider stated that in the politician’s mind, the White House stage is reserved for moments that spotlight him and the Trump brand, which his oldest son really does not do. “If it were Ivanka or Barron, it wouldn’t even be a conversation — it would already be in motion. You’d have planning teams, press strategy, the full spectacle locked in. No hesitation,” the insider added.
The source continued that while Donald Jr. has been very vocal about his support for his father, there is a pecking order in the family, which is respected by all and sundry. Right now, a White House official has alleged that a wedding happening in the White House has reportedly not been discussed at all.
Now that the producers of “The Apprentice” have President Donald Trump’s blessing, is that a sign of permanence?
