Boyfriend of Gypsy Rose Blanchard found dead in their Louisiana home
- Ken Urker, the fiancé of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, died in Louisiana on Thursday, October 1, 2026, on his 33rd birthday. The Lafourche Sheriff's Office confirmed they responded at 6:15 p.m. CDT, finding him unresponsive.
- Following the 2017 HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest, Urker sent Blanchard a "letter of support" while she was incarcerated, beginning their pen-pal relationship. The couple previously dated in 2018, then reunited in the spring of 2024.
- After Blanchard sent a "Happy birthday" text that went unanswered, her brother Dylan discovered Urker deceased in the home. The Lafourche Sheriff's Office is investigating the death, though no cause has been revealed.
- Aurora Raina Urker, the couple's 1-year-old daughter born in December 2024, is now left without her father. Blanchard became widely known for her 2015 role in her mother Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard's killing.
- Blanchard finalized her divorce from ex-husband Ryan Anderson in December 2024 after marrying him in 2022 while incarcerated. She filed for divorce after less than two years of marriage, later reuniting with Urker.
