The co-hosts deemed Guilfoyle as the winner, as it got her an international diplomat position. “I want to give credit to my girl Kimberly Guilfoyle,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said on Thursday’s segment. She added, “This is winning a breakup.” According to The Daily Beast , the talk show hosts celebrated the fact that the former Fox News host would get an exotic government-funded villa in Greece. “I am out here maybe playing checkers on a good day, she is playing chess,” Griffin quipped.
“She gets to live in Athens in a residence paid for by the U.S. government. She is just living in luxury. She has probably for months been picking out her outfits, and planning her new Greek boyfriends while carrying on in public. This is great. This is how you win a breakup.” In response, co-host Sunny Hostin added, “She is winning…she doesn’t have to deal with Don Jr. anymore.” “The question is, is Greece far enough?” co-host Joy Behar chimed in. “They want her as far away as possible,” she noted. “People are saying that Kim is not a nice person and always wants the limelight ,” she continued, referring to People magazine ’s reporting on the ex-couple. “The Trumps cannot take it if someone else is in the spotlight.”
Griffin countered and stated that Guilfoyle wished it to happen. “I believe in manifesting. Kimberly manifested this,” she stressed before playing Griffin the former journalist’s ‘the best is yet to come’ RNC catchphrase. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg concluded the session with a joke of her own: “I wish it was always that easy to get rid of an ex.”

As news of the split made headlines, an insider noted, “They have had a very long engagement [and] it was kind of in a holding pattern.” The source went on to explain that Guilfoyle has always been committed to the Trump family and she had known the President-elect long before she dated his eldest son. “She is very intelligent, very smart, very loyal. She knew Donald before she knew Don Jr., and that connection is strong. So nothing has changed,” the source concluded.
