President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he is naming Kimberly Guilfoyle as U.S. ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host and later political fundraiser, dated Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

“For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally,” Trump said in a statement. “Her extensive legal, media and political experience and leadership, as well as her keen intellect, make her a highly qualified individual to represent the United States and protect its interests abroad.”

Guilfoyle’s nomination would require Senate confirmation.

Guilfoyle wrote on social media after the announcement: “I am honored to accept President Trump’s nomination as the next Ambassador to Greece and I look forward to receiving the support of the U.S. Senate.”

“As ambassador, I look forward to implementing the Trump agenda, supporting our Greek allies and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity,” she added.

Guilfoyle, 55, appeared on stage with the Trump family Election night. She traveled the country to raise money for Trump’s presidential campaign and spoke at the Republican National Convention in July.

“In our vision, America will combat foreign aggressors and ensure that our service members are protected and not abandoned as they conduct their dangerous missions abroad, because we know that we can only achieve peace through strength,” she said in the Speech.

A trained lawyer, Guilfoyle began her career as a prosecutor in California before turning to television. She is divorced from California Governor Gavin Newsom.
