So, before knowing her career and journey lets' first jump in to know about her dating life and affairs.
CNN's host and reporter Rebecca Anderson is focused on her career: Not dating anyone
Admit it guys! Being a reporter is not as easy as being a celebrity. You have to travel across the globe to find the stories and recent news and work between the odd hours, day and night.
And it's impossible to take some time out of your job and have a steady relationship. The journalist who can relate most to this is Rebecca Anderson.
The "Connect the World with Becky Anderson host, Rebecca is not dating anyone and she hasn't been married either.
Due to this fact, rumors too struck on the web that she might be a lesbian but those were just hoax rumors.
And now as she's been relocated to Abu Dhabi-based Middle East regional headquarters of CNN, since 2014, she's remained super busy in her work and perhaps doesn't have time for romantic endeavors with her potential partner.
A look back at Rebecca Anderson's journey in journalism
From a print reporter to America's leading journalist, Rebecca's journey in American news industry inspires us all. Passionate and talented, Becky always wanted to be a renowned reporter to pursue this life long dream she worked really hard.
Rebecca started off as a print reporter working with different business publications in Arizona. Year after year, she became more skilled and polished as a reporter.
She worked for many high profile companies like UK's ITN, CNBC Europe, and Bloomberg as a business journalist.
Not only this, she's also done an appreciable job as a celebrity reporter, quizzing the A-list actors including, Oprah Winfrey, Juliette Binoche, Andrew Lloyd- Weber, Beyonce, George Clooney, Lupita Nyong, Lindsay Lohan, Lady Gaga, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem.
Her strong reporting skills have made her one of the experienced reporters who has done one on one interview with world's leading politicians, leaders, and famous personalities.
Just recently, Rebecca is doing her show, The Gateway program's final episode in Dubai and in an interview with Gulf news, she revealed her experience and thoughts about Dubai's economy. The 45-year-old quoted,
"There is a great synergy between the city of Dubai and the trading ports that connect it to the rest of the world. Nothing could have evoked the spirit of The Gateway programme more effectively than Dubai.
My programme shows how transport hubs around the world churn the grand wheels of globalisation, and Dubai is such a fabulous metaphor for the show. I am amazed to see the evolution of Jebel Ali Port over the last decade – terminals two and three of the Jebel Ali Port are just fantastic!!"

Before joining CNN, the versatile reporter had already visited Dubai and has made nearly more than 20 trips in the region. Also when asked whether her job is hectic or not she replied,
"The fun of this job is its unpredictability, I am on the road for maybe 150 days and when overseas, sometimes I work 19 hours a day and I do a variety of jobs and I really love what I do."
Well, this makes it obvious that Rebecca is an independent and work-oriented woman rather than being-in-relationship type.
