Kimberly Guilfoyle made headlines during her inaugural visit with Greece’s president on Tuesday, delivering a memorable remark that quickly caught attention. The former Fox News host and previous fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. was greeted by Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas. When asked if she had ever visited Greece before, Guilfoyle responded enthusiastically, “I have! I actually covered the Olympic Games in 2004 for ABC News,” she shared, before jokingly adding, “I also had a honeymoon here in 2004. Fabulous honeymoon but…”

Tasoulas responded with a chuckle, “Honeymoon was fabulous, but the marriage?” To which Guilfoyle replied with a nervous laugh, “We’ll work on getting a new husband.” She then fondly recalled her travels around Greece, listing Athens, Hydra, Corfu, Mykonos, and Santorini as highlights. This meeting at the presidential mansion marked the first time she officially presented her credentials to President Tasoulas. On Wednesday, Ambassador Guilfoyle is slated to meet with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Later this week, Guilfoyle’s diplomatic agenda is expected to become more defined during the Transatlantic Energy Cooperation Forum in Athens. This high-profile gathering will host U.S. officials Chris Wright and Doug Burgum, alongside energy ministers from over twenty European nations. The upcoming Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation (P-TEC) summit aims to bolster Greece’s energy industry and solidify its role as a crucial supply hub for Southeast Europe.

Guilfoyle touched down in Athens around noon on Saturday, arriving in Greece aboard billionaire Eric Vassilatos’ private jet. She marked her arrival with a cheerful post on social media, writing ‘Hello, Greece’ in Greek. Once seated at her front-row table, the ambassador was personally welcomed by pop sensation Konstantinos Argyros, who serenaded the crowd with his biggest hits.

At one point, a fellow guest invited Guilfoyle onto the dance floor — she obliged briefly before returning to her seat, later joining in enthusiastically on the traditional Greek Syrtaki and Kalamatiano dances, linking arms with guests in a circle to dance. The glitzy evening followed a much larger event at the Grand Hyatt, which drew more than 300 guests.

By contrast, Sunday’s celebration at the Athens Center was an intimate affair of around 150, attended by several leading figures from Greece’s business and political circles, including Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni. Taking to the stage, Guilfoyle kept her message simple: ‘I will not disappoint you.’

The high-powered debut, packed with photo ops and VIP appearances, hasn’t gone unnoticed in Washington or among seasoned members of the foreign service community, who say they are keeping an eye on what Guilfoyle actually can accomplish outside the social setting.
