Sunny Anderson is one of our favorite faces from Food Network's The Kitchen thanks to her bright and fun personality. She's always captivating everyone's attention on the show, so it's no surprise that viewers are curious about her life off-screen. Since she and the rest of the cast have been broadcasting from home amid the coronavirus pandemic, there's especially questions about where she lives when the cameras aren't rolling. Here's everything we know about Sunny's abode!
Where does Sunny Anderson live?
According to Food Network, the 45-year-old lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn outside of Manhattan. Back in 2013, she showed off her stunning home kitchen there to Food Network Magazine.
The network also reports that she lives with her rescue pets, which appears to be a couple of dogs and cats, based on her Instagram account.
The Kitchen allegedly tapes in Montclair, N.J., so being in Brooklyn means she's not too far from the northern New Jersey town. According to Google Maps, it's less than 40 miles from her home and is very easy to get to via 287 and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. And with her broadcasting from home amid COVID-19, she has no commute at all!
Is Sunny Anderson married?
No, at this time, Sunny Anderson is not married and it appears that she's never been married. She's very hush-hush about her love life, which has caused some speculation about her sexuality. In the past, there were also rumors that she was dating fellow chef Aaron Sanchez when she called him her "play boyfriend," but that was never confirmed.
At this time, it appears that she's single, and if she's dating anyone, it's a private relationship.
Sunny does not have any children.
