Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Trump confirmed a report about their wedding. Umar Kremlev paid for parts of their wedding celebration.

Kremlev is a Russian businessman with ties to Vladimir Putin. He paid for part of their May wedding weekend in the Bahamas.

A ProPublica report said Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. The money covered wedding expenses for the couple.

The couple called the payment a gift. They said Kremlev hosted two nights of celebrations.

This happened after their wedding. They said only family attended the wedding ceremony itself.

The couple said they first planned the Bahamas trip for friends. This happened before they set the wedding date.

Reports say the expenses included a private-island rental and fireworks. Kremlev is president of the International Boxing Association. Vladimir Putin gave Kremlev the Order of Friendship this year.
