Gypsy Rose Blanchard makes emotional appearance after partner Ken Urker's death

Gypsy Rose Blanchard breaks down while discussing Ken Urker’s death and denies any involvement in his passing

Gypsy Rose Blanchard broke down in tears while discussing the death of her former partner, Ken Urker, during her first live interview since his passing.

Appearing on 60 Minutes Australia on November 15, Blanchard, 35, described struggling to process the loss after Urker, 34, was found dead at his home in Raceland, Louisiana, on October 1.

Recalling how she learned about his death, Blanchard said she initially refused to believe the news before collapsing to the floor in shock.

“Honestly, I’m still trying to process everything. It’s been really difficult because, I just, I can’t make sense of anything anymore,” she said.

Blanchard also firmly denied having any involvement in Urker’s death when questioned during the interview. She described allegations suggesting otherwise as “disgusting”, emphasising that he was the love of her life and the father of their two-year-old daughter, Aurora.

Urker was reportedly found alongside drug paraphernalia and a holstered handgun. However, a spokesperson for the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office previously told People that investigators had found no evidence of foul play.

Reflecting on their relationship, Blanchard revealed that Urker had struggled with online criticism, particularly accusations directed at him over their relationship. She said being labelled a child predator had deeply affected him.

The pair first became engaged in 2018 while Blanchard was serving time in prison for her involvement in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. They later called off their engagement before reconnecting in 2019.

After another separation, the two reunited following Blanchard’s divorce from Ryan Anderson in 2024. They subsequently welcomed their daughter together.

Blanchard said Urker’s death had left her feeling lost, particularly because they had planned their future together.
