Personal Life

As far as Sunny Anderson’s personal life is concerned, she got herself surrounded by many rumors of being attached to different male partners. First, it was rumored in 2013 that she had made her appearance with Chef Aaron Sanchez for a show.

Thereafter, Anderson confirmed her relationship in one of her Twitter posts in January 2017. However, she didn’t mention the name of the person.

The relationship didn’t seem to work for a long time because soon after the earlier post she talked about her breakup with her boyfriend. It was merely a period of three months. She expressed her tragic emotions in the post. Thereafter, she confirmed her relationship with a new personality in 2019. But again she didn’t mention the name of the personality.
