Gypsy Rose Ex Speaks After Ken Urker's Death
3 Oct
Summary
- Ryan Anderson expressed sadness and anger over Ken Urker's death.
- Anderson maintained no contact with Gypsy Rose for over a year.
- Urker died on his 34th birthday, with a handgun found near him.

Ryan Anderson, the former husband of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, has publicly reacted to the death of Ken Urker, Blanchard's ex-partner. Anderson conveyed his distress, admitting to feeling "anger" and "sadness" about the situation, stating, "I hate that this happened." He clarified that while he has had no contact with Gypsy Rose for over a year, he has offered support through her father, Rod Blanchard.
Anderson expressed concern for Gypsy Rose and their daughter, Aurora, and firmly stated his belief that Blanchard was not involved in Urker's death. He noted, "I don't think she has anything to do with it." This comes as Anderson's past hostile text exchange with Urker resurfaced, in which Anderson used offensive language.
Ken Urker was found deceased in his Louisiana home on October 1, 2026, which was also his 34th birthday. Police records indicated Urker had been in a "dark place" and had previously threatened suicide. A handgun and drug-related items were discovered near his body. The autopsy has been completed, but toxicology results are pending, and authorities have stated there were no initial signs of foul play.
