Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shared Ken Urker Relationship Update Before Death
Ken Urker’s loved ones are grieving his loss.
Following the death of the 34-year-old—who shared 21-month-old daughter Aurora with Gypsy Rose Blanchard—his sister Autumn Urker shared details of their final interaction.
Shortly after news of Ken’s death, Autumn went live on TikTok, during which she was visibly emotional.
According to Us Weekly, Autumn said during the stream that Ken’s last words to her were, “I love you.” She did not share additional information about when this conversation took place.
Ken died in Louisiana on Oct. 1, the Lafourche Sherriff’s Office confirmed to E! News that same day. According to the spokesperson for the office, Ken was “found dead upon arrival.” The statement noted a death investigation was underway.
The coroner’s office also shared a statement with E! News Oct. 2 confirming it would be “conducting a full post- mortem examination” and that there would be no additional information shared in the meantime.
As for Gypsy—in addition to telling People that Ken experienced an overdose before he passed away—the Life After Lock Up star shared a heartbreaking statement regarding the circumstances of her partner’s death.
“Ken endured an unimaginable level of public scrutiny and relentless cyberbullying across social media platforms,” she wrote on Instagram Oct. 2. “The cruelty directed toward him was something no human being should have to endure. I believe the tremendous weight of that scrutiny and harassment had a profound impact on him, and I hope his passing serves as a reminder that there is a real person behind every screen, every headline, and every comment.”

The 35-year-old also praised Ken for being an “amazing father,” writing, “Above all, Ken loved our daughter, Aurora. She is a beautiful reflection of his enduring spirit, and through her, a part of him will always remain with us.”
She affirmed her intention to ensure Aurora grows up knowing “how deeply her father loved her and who he was beyond what strangers on the internet chose to say about him.”
As for her own relationship with her late boyfriend, Gypsy mourned the loss of her perfect partner.
“He will forever be my soulmate and red string,” she wrote, “a connection that time, distance, and even death can never erase.”
And in a tribute shared directly to Ken, she wrote, “You will always be my greatest love story.”
