Gypsy Rose Blanchard is navigating a death in her family. The ‘Life After Lock Up’ star’s boyfriend Ken Urker died on Oct. 1, the Lafourche Sherriff’s Office confirmed to E! News. He was 33. "We were notified about this at 6:15 p.m. CDT and responded," a spokesperson told E!. "He was found dead upon arrival. At this time, we are continuing the death investigation.” His cause of death has not been revealed. Blanchard, 35, and Urker—who share daughter Aurora Raina Urker, 21 months—first connected while she was serving time in prison for the 2015 murder of her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. She pled guilty to second-degree murder for conspiring with her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to kill her mom after suffering from abuse and fake medical diagnoses as a child. The pair got engaged while she was behind bars, but they broke up in 2019 to focus on "personal growth," she told E!, adding, "We were so connected at one time that I felt like he was a soul mate." Blanchard went on to marry Ryan Anderson in 2022 and was ultimately released from prison in December 2023 after serving seven years. By March 2024, the couple had cut ties. Less than a week after sharing news of the split, Blanchard reunited with Urker in Louisiana. Urker announced the arrival of their daughter Aurora in December 2024, calling her the "greatest gift of all."
