Story summary

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, 35, detailed her dream wedding plans with Ken Urker months before his death. In an interview with TMZ in May, she expressed a desire for a traditional wedding with "the poofy dress and family presence," contrasting it with her previous prison visitation room marriage. They first connected as pen pals in 2017 while Blanchard was imprisoned for the murder of her mother, Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. Urker proposed to Blanchard in October 2018 but they later broke up and she married Ryan Scott Anderson in June 2022. After a two-year separation from Anderson, Blanchard rekindled her relationship with Urker, who passed away recently. The couple had a daughter named Aurora, born in December 2024. Sources close to them revealed that they had been living apart for about two months before officially parting ways amicably, as they both felt it was best to have some space and reassess their relationship.
