Gypsy Rose Blanchard, known for her involvement in the murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, recently opened up about her relationships with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker and her now ex-husband Ryan Anderson. Despite getting back together with Urker after her split from Anderson, Blanchard clarified that Urker was not the reason for the divorce. She revealed that her history with Urker was a point of contention in her marriage, but she did not leave Anderson for Urker. Rather, she realized her feelings for Urker after her marriage ended.
Blanchard and Urker connected through a pen pal program while she was serving time in prison for her involvement in her mother’s murder. They got engaged in 2018 but ultimately split up. Blanchard went on to marry Anderson in 2022 while still in prison. She explained that the reasons for her split from Anderson were a combination of factors, including her own unhappiness and the desire to seek happiness in her life. She emphasized that it was not fair to Anderson to continue the relationship if she was not happy.
Despite the split, Blanchard has no ill feelings towards Anderson. She clarified that the restraining order she filed against him was based on finances and not a no-contact order. While they have limited communication since the divorce filing, Blanchard wishes him the best and hopes to move forward from the hurt. She has rekindled her relationship with Urker and plans to apply the lessons she learned from her marriage with Anderson to her relationship with Urker. She emphasized the importance of mutual respect in a relationship.
Looking towards the future, Blanchard expressed openness towards getting married again once she finalizes her divorce. She also mentioned her desire to have children someday, believing that she would be a good mother and that Urker would make a wonderful father. She emphasized the need to take things slow in her current relationship with Urker. The upcoming series, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup, will give viewers a glimpse into her life post-prison.
Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup premieres on Lifetime on June 3, where audiences will see Blanchard navigate her relationships with Urker and Anderson. Despite the challenges she has faced in her past, Blanchard remains hopeful for the future and is willing to learn from her experiences to build healthier relationships. Her story serves as a reminder of the complexities of relationships and the importance of self-discovery and growth in moving forward from difficult circumstances. Ultimately, Blanchard is focused on healing and wishes the best for both herself and her ex-husband as they navigate the process of divorce and moving on with their lives.
