Ken Urker, partner of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, dies at 34

newsOct 2, 202638174

Ken Urker was found unresponsive at a residence in Raceland, Louisiana, on Thursday evening, his 34th birthday, after police responded to a call at 6:15 p.m., the Lafourche Sheriff’s Office confirmed to CNN. Authorities have opened a death investigation, and TMZ reported that foul play has not yet been ruled out. Gypsy Rose Blanchard told People she believes Urker overdosed and asked for privacy, saying "I’m in disbelief. I can’t think" and that she had "screamed until my throat burns." Blanchard met Urker while she was serving eight and a half years in prison for her role in the 2015 killing of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who investigators have described as a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The couple rekindled their relationship after Blanchard’s 2023 release; they welcomed a daughter, Aurora, at the end of 2024. Urker had previously become engaged to Blanchard while she was incarcerated, split months later, and Blanchard later married and separated from Ryan Anderson in 2022 and 2023 respectively before reuniting with Urker.

-dude the fucking photo shoot trying to make them look like some down to earth homegrown country family i DIED like bitch be incredibly serious 🤡 -they're keeping the death investigation open pending toxicology and i'm hellishly sus but i really hope she didn't kill him 💀

The photo shoot of her cosplaying as a lower income, just a poor little widow was a CHOICE! But he also shaded her so beautifully in the article too. Gypsy didn't kill her mother, she was in the bathroom and had Nicholas do it, so that would be more of her style, I think. But Gypsy just moved

I've been seeing the Ken stuff on socials.

Omg yessss I was trying to figure out where people were talking about these things on here lol Apparently Gypsy Rose notified TMZ herself?! and called him her fiancée even though they are estranged so his sister had a meltdown on a livestream over it?! Wild things are happening on the other sites.

It's very easy to make an snarky comment dripping with accusations about Gypsy Rose, and the Internet is already off and running. But there is a baby under the age of two who will never know her father, and that is absolutely heartbreaking. variety.com/2026/tv/news...
