Gypsy Rose Blanchard Details Final Interaction With Ken Urker Before His Death
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is setting the record straight.
Following the release of a photo suggesting she reunited with ex Ryan Anderson in the wake of her partner Ken Urker’s death, the Life After Lockup star shared the truth about the pic.
"The photo circulating around the internet is AI generated," Blanchard said in an exclusive statement to E! News. "There is absolutely no contact between myself and Ryan."
Speculation had mounted that the 35-year-old—who shared daughter Aurora, 21 months, with Urker—had reunited with Anderson due to a viral TikTok in which she appears to dance to Britney Spears' "Oops!...I Did It Again" over an apparent image of her and Anderson in question. Overlaying the pic read the text, "pov because with ken out of the way you can get back to ryan."
Blanchard reunited with Urker back in 2024 years after they called off their engagement back in 2019, when she was still in for involvement in the murder of her mother Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. Their rekindled romance came after her divorce from Anderson after two years of marriage.
In the wake of Urker’s Oct. 1 death at 34, Blanchard has been remembering their life together, including sharing insight into their last interaction.
“During one of our exchanges, I decided to surprise him with Burger King,” Blanchard told Page Six in an interview published Oct. 10. “I pretended to be a DoorDash driver and left his food outside his door.”

“It was such a simple, silly little moment, but one that now means more to me than I could ever put into words,” she added. “I didn’t know that would be the last time I would ever see him in person.”
While the moment didn’t seem significant at the time, it’s now a memory that Blanchard will hold close to her heart.

“Looking back,” she shared, “I’m grateful that one of my final memories of Ken was something lighthearted, thoughtful, and filled with kindness.”
“Sometimes it’s the smallest moments that become the most precious memories,” Blanchard added. “I will carry that one with me forever.”
