Gypsy Rose Reveals Shocking Secrets from Final Phone Call with Ken Urker Before His Mysterious Death at 34
So, here’s a question to chew on: when your ex-fiancé is ‘deeply distressed’ over a family feud, and then tragically turns up dead, how do you juggle grief, public feuding, and motherhood all at once? Gypsy Rose Blanchard is navigating this complex emotional labyrinth after her former fiancé Ken Urker was found lifeless in his Louisiana home. Amid heartbreak and rumors, she’s launched a petition against cyberbullying, spotlighting the toxic scrutiny that plagued Ken—and herself. Their story, tangled with drama and fraught family tensions, is part modern tragedy, part media circus. But through it all, Gypsy insists her focus remains clear: honoring Ken’s memory and supporting their one-year-old daughter, despite the chaos swirling around her. Life, evidently, has a twisted sense of irony, doesn’t it?
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has opened up about her final phone call with her former fiancé Ken Urker, claiming he was ‘deeply distressed’ about her feud with his sister.
The 34-year-old, who shared a one-year-old daughter with Blanchard, was tragically found dead in his Louisiana home on Thursday, 1 October.
Although his cause of death is yet to be confirmed, Blanchard – who is believed to have been separated from him at the time of his death – has launched an anti-cyberbullying and harassment petition in the wake of his passing, having already paid tribute to her ‘greatest love story’.
In a new interview, Blanchard has revealed what they last spoke about on the phone, as well as responding to the criticism she has received from Urker’s sister Autumn since his death.
‘My priority is grieving Ken, supporting our daughter and honouring his memory’
Speaking exclusively to US Weekly, the 35-year-old said: “At this time, I do not want the focus surrounding Ken’s passing to become centred on negativity or disagreements between Autumn and me.
“It is no secret that Autumn did not approve of Ken’s relationship with me, and there has been significant tension between us, including public comments she made about me in the months leading up to his passing.

“Right now, my priority is grieving Ken, supporting our daughter and honouring his memory. I remain in communication with Ken’s family, and aside from my relationship with Autumn, those communications have been positive and respectful during an incredibly painful time.”
Gypsy Blanchard’s claims about Ken Urker being ‘deeply distressed’
The mother-of-one went on to suggest that during her final conversation with Urker, which occurred last Monday, he had admitted that he was ‘deeply distressed’ by the dispute with Autumn, who allegedly threatened to ‘go harder’ publicly and contribute to the ‘negative commentary and scrutiny he was already experiencing’.
She concluded: “I would much rather use my voice to focus on that work and on preserving Ken’s legacy than continue a public family dispute. I sincerely hope everyone can allow Ken to be remembered for the person and father he was rather than allowing disagreements among those who loved him to overshadow his life.”
How Gypsy Blanchard and Ken Urker met
Blanchard had first met Urker when she was behind bars for the second-degree murder of her mother Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard in 2015.
He had reached out after watching her documentary and their friendship soon turned romantic, but things broke down after he popped the question, with Blanchard later marrying Ryan Anderson while she was still incarcerated. However, after her release from prison in 2023, she swiftly rekindled her relationship with Urker and divorced Anderson.
She welcomed her daughter Aurora in December 2024 with Urker.

In her tribute to Urker, she wrote: “You will always be my greatest love story. You will be remembered and loved forever.”
‘The cruelty directed toward him was something no human being should have to endure’
In a statement to PEOPLE, she added: “I’m in disbelief. I can’t think. I’ve screamed until my throat burns.
“Ken was an amazing father and a man who was deeply loved. He will forever be my soulmate and my red string, a connection that time, distance, and even death can never erase.”
She told the outlet: “Ken endured an unimaginable level of public scrutiny and relentless cyberbullying across social media platforms, including TikTok and Reddit.
“The cruelty directed toward him was something no human being should have to endure. I believe the tremendous weight of that scrutiny and harassment had a profound impact on him, and I hope his passing serves as a reminder that there is a real person behind every screen, every headline, and every comment.”

According to a police incident report: “On October 1, 2026 at approximately 1818 hours, Sergeant Brandon Smith. Deputy Angel Tyler, and Lieutenant Aaron Montez with the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a welfare concern in reference to Kenan Urker, DOB 10/01/1992 not answering his phone or the door to his residence at 107 Double H Dr Lot 4, Raceland.”
It added: “Deputies entered the residence through the front door and was able to see Mr. Urker from the living room area lying on his back in the bed. Deputies walked in the direction of the room and located paraphernalia (syringes and spoon) in the bathroom next to a brown powdery substance. Deputies located a syringe and a handgun on the nightstand next to the bed. Mr. Urker was found lying on the bed on his back, cold to the touch, and appeared to have been there for an extended period of time. His face and his arms were blue. He had a paper towel placed on his left arm with what appeared to be blotches of blood on the paper towel.”
It continued: “The handgun on the night stand was holstered laying next to two shot glasses and a syringe. Nothing else inside of the bedroom appeared to be disturbed or moved.”
