Mea Stone, the half-sister of Bettina Anderson, said Anderson had wanted to get married for a long time. Stone, 60, spoke to the Daily Mail about the family background of Anderson, whose father was the late banker Harry Loy Anderson. Harry Loy Anderson had Stone and another daughter during his first marriage to model Molly Babcock, while Bettina was born during his second marriage to Swedish model Inger Anderson.
Stone described Bettina as being especially close to her twin sister, Kristina McPherson, and Kristina’s three children, two boys and a girl, whom she shares with her husband, real estate attorney Bradley McPherson. According to Stone, Bettina has long hoped to have children of her own and sees motherhood as a major life goal.
“She’s a really nice girl, and I hope she gets to have her baby soon,” Stone said. She added that Bettina has wanted “to be like her sister Kristina and have babies,” and has not wanted to watch her nieces and nephews grow up without having children herself. Stone suggested that, for Bettina, becoming a mother may matter even more than who she marries.
The remarks offer a family perspective on Anderson’s personal life and what those close to her say has been one of her biggest long-term wishes. Stone’s comments portray Bettina as family-oriented and focused on starting a family of her own, alongside her reported desire to marry.
