Anderson was born and raised in Orlando, Florida to a Puerto Rican mother and American Father. Before joining Miss Universe Puerto Rico, she was first runner-up in Miss Florida USA 2019. In 2016, she represented Puerto Rico in Miss Grand International and placed 3rd runner-up.

Puerto Rico is one of the winningest countries in Miss Universe history with 5 crowns. The island last won the title in 2006 with Zuleyka Rivera.

Whatever they are, and whatever their ‘ethnicity’ or color or culture....

“they” were called the “most perfect humans” by a university research, because of their mix of ancestries and cultures.

Her mother Belinda is my high school friend - we both graduated in 1984 from Colegio El Buen Pastor in Guaynabo. I can’t tell you how heartbroken and pissed off she is about all of this. Madison speaks good Spanish. Like I told Beli the other day: “Haters Gonna Hate. She’ll need to speak English in Miss Universe, so this is a gigantic waste of time!”

And I do think she’s got a big chance of becoming Miss Universe. She reminds me of Irene Saez Conde, Miss Universe 1981, from Venezuela.
