Kimberly Guilfoyle has returned to the United States after leaving her post as US Ambassador to Greece, with reports saying she is staying at the Florida home of her former husband, businessman Eric Villency.
The 57-year-old former Fox News presenter reportedly arrived back in the US on October 30 after spending almost three weeks at Jefferson House, the official US ambassadorial residence in Athens.
According to the Daily Mail, Guilfoyle is staying with Villency, 51, with whom she shares a son, Ronan, 20.

The move follows her departure from the diplomatic post last month amid controversy surrounding leaked text messages involving a $100,000 American Express credit card bill.
The messages reportedly showed Guilfoyle asking Republican donor Eric Deters to pay the outstanding amount. Guilfoyle and her lawyer disputed the authenticity of the messages, claiming they were generated using artificial intelligence and arguing that Deters owed her the money.
Deters has denied the allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit.
Fallout from Trump family split
Guilfoyle’s departure from Greece also follows the breakdown of her engagement to Donald Trump Jr.
The pair had been together for six years before their relationship ended after Trump Jr began dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. The couple subsequently married.
Guilfoyle was later nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as US Ambassador to Greece, taking up a diplomatic role that placed her outside the centre of the Trump family’s political and social circle.
She reportedly received $8.5 million from Trump Jr for her share of the waterfront Florida property they had purchased together.
Reports of tensions and possible confrontations
The Daily Mail reports that Guilfoyle has been relying on Villency for support as she adjusts to life back in Florida.
Sources quoted by the publication also claim she has unresolved grievances involving Deters, Trump Jr and his new wife, Anderson.
One unnamed source told the newspaper that Guilfoyle has “a lot of scores to settle”.
These claims have not been independently established, and there is no public confirmation that Guilfoyle is planning any action against the individuals named.
Guilfoyle has previously spoken positively about her relationship with Villency. In an interview with Greek broadcaster ANT1 last November, she described having a “wonderful relationship” with the father of her son.
Her return to the United States marks a new chapter following a turbulent period involving her diplomatic appointment, the end of her engagement to Trump Jr and the controversy surrounding the leaked messages.
