Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Ex Ryan Anderson Reacts to Ken Urker Death

Weeks later, Blanchard confirmed her relationship with Urker, who she initially met while she was in prison in 2017.

In the aftermath of Urker’s death, Anderson admitted he and Blanchard’s former fiancé “never really saw eye to eye,” but he was still heartbroken by the news of his death. 

“We never met in person, but we had exchanges on the phone and we’ve had text messages. We’ve interacted and they were never good,” he shared. “But you still hate to hear that somebody passed away.”

And while Anderson noted he and Blanchard have not spoken in a year, he said he reached out to her dad Rod Blanchard to relay his condolences.

“I said, ‘Hey, man, I’m hearing this news. If it’s true, tell Gypsy I’m sorry. Tell her I’m here for her if she needs me,’” he explained. “I was always somebody who could make her laugh when she was sad or give her comfort.”

Emphasizing that his “main concern is Aurora and Gypsy,” Anderson said he would step in as a friend if Blanchard ever reaches out.

“I don't know if she will or not,” he shared, “but if she does, I would be there for her strictly as just being there for her because I always was.”
