Gypsy Rose Blanchard Slams Claims She Was Involved in Ken Urker’s Death 

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is navigating heartbreak.

And while she mourns the death of her partner Ken Urker—with whom she shared 2-year-old daughter Aurora—the Life After Lockup star is blocking out the noise that implies she played any sort of role in his passing, which she says was the result of an overdose.

When asked outright if she was involved with his death, Blanchard told 60 Minutes Australia, “Absolutely not. No.”

She shared that such allegations were “disgusting to hear, because that was the love of my life. That’s the father of my child,” adding, “No other man, no other person had my heart like he did.”

Nevertheless, she admitted that their relationship—which was first kindled briefly in 2018 and 2019, then found footing again in 2024 after Blanchard’s divorce from Ryan Anderson—had met challenges in the time following her release from prison.

“When I first came out of prison, everyone seemed to be so excited for me and my newfound freedom. And then over time, unfortunately, more criticism came my way,” the 35-year-old explained. “It was like things were fine in the home, we were happy. But online, there was so much negativity.”
