Anderson was born in December 1986 to entrepreneur Harry Loy Anderson Jr. and philanthropist Inger Anderson. She grew up in Palm Beach, where she continues to reside today.
Her father became the youngest bank president in the U.S. when he started leading Worth Avenue National Bank at 26 years old. Together, he and Inger became well-known as a philanthropic couple, with Harry serving as a board member on the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and the national board of governors for the American Red Cross, per his obituary in the Palm Beach Daily News.
"My mom has always been an inspiration to me," Anderson told Fashion Week Daily in March 2022.
Harry and Inger welcomed five children in addition to Anderson: daughters Mea Stone, Bebe McCranels and Kristina McPherson, and sons Harry Loy III and Kent.
Anderson is a model and socialite
Anderson attended Columbia University, graduating in 2009 with a degree in art history, criticism and conservation, per her LinkedIn. She often posts photos of herself modeling on her Instagram, including shots of herself on the cover of Quest magazine in 2020 and a photo shoot with Hamilton Jewelers that same year.
She was also featured in a story in Palm Beach Illustrated in 2021, with the outlet describing her as a "local influencer."

Following in their parents' footsteps, Anderson and her brothers founded The Paradise Fund, a nonprofit that helps local organizations with disaster relief. In October 2021, Anderson helmed an offshoot of the company with the Project Paradise Film Fund, which supports storytelling surrounding Florida's natural wildlife, with the proceeds going to conservation efforts.
"One of the greatest focuses of my life is how I can be of service to others and be a steward of the environment," Anderson told Fashion Week Daily.
As of April 2023, she is the executive director of the nonprofit, which has since been renamed Paradise.ngo.

Though Trump had been in a relationship with Guilfoyle since 2018, he was first spotted on a brunch date with Anderson in August 2024, per photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
A month later, sources told PEOPLE that Trump and Guilfoyle were allegedly spending some time apart, with the eldest Trump son seemingly coming and going as he pleased.
Trump and Anderson were again spotted together in December 2024, when the politician joined Anderson's birthday dinner at the popular downtown Palm Beach restaurant Buccan, per the Daily Mail. They were later photographed holding hands while walking down the beach.
At the time, a source told PEOPLE that Trump "even took her on a trip to Alaska and introduced her around as his girlfriend when he was still very much with Kim."
The following day, Trump's father announced that he nominated Guilfoyle as the U.S. ambassador to Greece.
She attended the Republican National Convention
Anderson joined Trump at the Republican National Convention in July 2024, sitting directly behind Trump and Guilfoyle and next to three of his five children.
She was also photographed talking to Trump's ex-wife, Vanessa Trump.
She spent New Year's Eve at Mar-a-Lago in 2024
Anderson was Trump's plus-one to the 2024 New Year's Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. The event also doubled as a birthday party for President Donald Trump's eldest son who turned 47 on the last day of the year.
Per photos obtained by Fox News, Trump and Anderson arrived together and were seen holding hands.
She and Trump made multiple public outings in July 2025
Trump and Anderson were seen together in July 2025 when they joined President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the FIFA Club World Cup.
In photos taken of the couple on a tarmac in Teterboro, N.J., they were captured kissing and holding hands on their way to the match.
Later that month, Anderson posed with her boyfriend's family during a trip to Scotland in photos shared by Trump on Instagram. Two of his children, Spencer and Chloe, were also in the pictures.

Anderson added that it has been the "most unforgettable weekend."
