Sources say Gloria Vanderbelt is desperate for the CNN journalist to settle down with club owner Benjamin Maisini so she can get another grandchild, according to American tabloid the National Enquirer.
“Anderson and Ben are in love, but they were on the verge of breaking up,” a source said.
“Between Anderson’s dangerous work assignments and Ben’s crazy hours at the club, the guys reached an impasse.
“At her age, Gloria is desperate to see her son settle down and make a family. So she got right in the middle of things, and reminded each of them how lucky they are to have found love and to stop being so demanding.
“Then Ben said his real worry is that Anderson’s job keeps him in danger. Pretty soon they got a decent dialogue going and the breakup was averted.”
