Why Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Remarks After Ken Urker’s Death ‘Disgusted’ His Family

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker‘s complicated relationship has drawn public attention for years, from their early romance and separation to their reconciliation and eventually having a child together. Following Urker’s unexpected death, however, tensions are growing between Blanchard and Urker’s family.

Ken Urker’s Sister Calls Out Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Actions

Less than 24 hours after Ken Urker’s death was reported, his on-and-off partner, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, gave an exclusive interview discussing the circumstances of his passing.

Now, Urker’s sister, Autumn, is speaking on behalf of her family and expressing her disapproval of Blanchard’s actions.

“We are disgusted with her statements. She hasn’t even called my mother or any of us yet,” Autumn told The Daily Mail in an exclusive interview.

In her statement, Blanchard said that Urker died of an overdose, though she was not sure whether it was accidental or intentional. An autopsy has been completed, but toxicology results are still pending. An official cause of death has not been determined.

Autumn went as far as to claim that Blanchard was “to blame” for her brother’s death, noting that everything started “because of her.”

Urker and Blanchard met as pen pals while the latter was serving time for conspiring to kill her mother. They were engaged in 2018, but went their separate ways after a few months. Blanchard married Ryan Anderson, but they divorced months after she was released from prison in December 2023. She reconnected with Urker in 2024, and they welcomed a daughter, Aurora, that same year.

“She had to be in the limelight. She had to be that girl,” Autumn claimed, accusing Blanchard of not caring whether she hurt others. “She loved all the attention at the expense of everybody around her,” she added.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard And Ken Urker Were Separated At The Time Of His Death

In her statement following Urker’s death, Blanchard did not speak about the status of their relationship.

A source told Page Six, however, that they had quietly broken up and had been living apart for a couple of months before Urker’s passing. Autumn also shared the same information in an interview, saying that her brother broke up with Blanchard “over a month ago.”

She also alleges that Blanchard told some people that she and Urker were engaged and planning to have another child, but “none of that was true.”

Furthermore, Autumn claims that Urker was “terrified” of his ex and wanted to take their daughter to his mother to keep her safe, as reported by The Blast.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Spoke About Her Dream Wedding

In May, a few months before Urker’s death, Blanchard sat down with TMZ and shared what she wanted her dream wedding to look like. Although she said neither she nor Urker felt pressured to tie the knot, she suggested the pressure came from “the world.”

Unlike her first wedding, which took place in prison, Blanchard said she wanted a “big wedding” with her child’s father, complete with a “poofy” dress and family members.

Following Urker’s death, Blanchard described him as an incredible father and said she would make sure their daughter grows up knowing what an “amazing” person he was.

Little information has been released to the public, but Autumn believes her brother’s death was accidental. “I have more details, so we’re just keeping them private,” she said.

Autumn recalled her final conversation with Urker, during which he said, “I love you,” as he typically did at the end of a call. She described her brother as a “great man” who “tried to love the broken.”
