Gypsy Rose Blanchard Details Shooting Mom With BB Gun, Being Chained to Bed in Chilling Book
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is sharing why she divorced Ryan Anderson.
Seven months after announcing her separation from the middle school teacher, the former inmate—who is currently pregnant with her and boyfriend Ken Urker’s first baby—confirmed their divorce has been finalized while also detailing when she realized it was time to leave Ryan.
Gypsy, 33, explained to People in an interview published Dec. 9 that in March, the pair had an intense argument that prompted her to have her “first shock” of realizing “holy crap, I’m married.”
"It's kind of like, ‘OK, well, you know that you're settling,” Gypsy noted, “that you're kind of pushing on to just do what everybody else does in life, but you're just settling."
While the 33-year-old—who tied the knot with Ryan in June 2022, while she was still behind bars for her part in the murder of her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard—explained the former couple had settled their financial disagreements in court, she was hoping to end their relationship on good terms.
"I did extend the offer to have a civil conversation for closure purposes," Gypsy continued. "I'm currently waiting on a response. He waived his right to attend [the court date]."
Whether Ryan will eventually respond to his ex remains to be seen, but Gypsy is certainly moving toward a brand new chapter: Motherhood.

The soon-to-be mom rekindled her romance with Ken—to whom she was engaged from October 2018 to August 2019—this past spring and the pair are expecting a daughter to be named Aurora Raina Urker in January.
“I’m in love,” Gypsy told People of Ken in May. “He was a support when I was going through emotional hardship. But then I let myself open up to the feelings I’ve always had for him.”
“For the first time in my life, I’m doing something that makes me happy,” she added. “I’m prioritizing me.”
