In 2012, Anderson was working full-time as assistant director of The Hole, a contemporary art gallery in New York City. That year, she appeared on the cover of the May 2012 issue of Playboy, and the gallery hosted a signing connected to the issue.[5][3][8]

Personal life
Anderson has a son with artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, born in June 2013. By late 2014, Anderson had moved back to Denmark. A Danish media release connected to an Elle interview stated that the move was partly because she wanted her son to have a connection to Denmark.[12][13][14][15][16][17]
