Ken Urker, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's boyfriend, dies on his 33rd birthday

Ken Urker, who had been in a relationship with Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the father of their 21-month-old daughter Aurora Raina, died on October 1, the day he turned 33. A spokesperson for the family said no details about the cause of death have been released.

Blanchard, who was released from prison in December 2023 after serving seven years for her role in her mother's murder, had previously been married to special-education teacher Ryan Anderson. The couple separated in early 2024, and Blanchard later confirmed she had reunited with Urker in Louisiana.

"When did I know he was the one? Probably the day I met him back in 2017," Blanchard told a media outlet in May 2024.

The death comes weeks after Blanchard publicly discussed her separation from Anderson and her renewed relationship with Urker.
