In the resurfaced video, Blanchard began recalling her birthday and the money Urker lost and spent during the celebration. “I look back in my phone, and I think back to my birthday and think back to when Ken lost $2000 and spent $700 on dinner,” she said.

Urker then corrected the total, pointing out that she had left out the cost of her present. “$2,700 birthday, actually, and your gift was $300, so it’s a $3,000 birthday,” he replied.

The exchange took place while the pair were traveling in a car. Blanchard’s description included the $2,000 loss and a $700 dinner, while Urker added another $300 for her gift.

The clip did not explain how he lost the money or identify the present. Blanchard shared the exchange as a memory, adding only her brief “these moments” message and the emoji over the video.

Another showed him singing in a car. “You will always be my greatest love story. You will be remembered and loved forever,” she captioned the post.

On Sunday morning, Blanchard also shared a photograph of Urker and Aurora while asking followers to support a Change.org petition for “Kenan’s Law.” The proposal calls for social media platforms to examine patterns of reported harassment rather than reviewing each post in isolation. “I only have my daughter and my voice,” she wrote at the beginning of that announcement.

Blanchard and Urker first connected in 2017 while she was incarcerated. He sent her a supportive letter after watching the HBO documentary “Mommy Dead and Dearest,” and their correspondence developed into a relationship.

Urker proposed in 2018, but the pair later separated. Blanchard went on to marry Ryan Anderson before that marriage ended following her release from prison. She and Urker reunited in April 2024 and welcomed Aurora Raina in December of that year.

A month before their daughter’s birth, Blanchard publicly confirmed Urker was the father after speculation involving Anderson. “Ken is going to be an incredible dad and we are so excited to welcome our baby girl into the world,” she wrote at the time.

Following his death, Blanchard promised to “make sure she grows up knowing how deeply her father loved her.”
