Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker rumored to have parted ways before birth of their first child

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker are rumored to have ended their relationship despite their recent announcement of expecting their first child together.

This alleged development follows a whirlwind few months that saw the couple announce a pregnancy and face public scrutiny over the paternity of their unborn child.

Ken Urker and Gypsy Rose Blanchard allegedly split weeks after paternity reveal

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker reunited in April 2024, shortly after Blanchard's divorce from her ex-husband, Ryan Anderson.

By July, Blanchard and Urker revealed they were expecting a baby girl, due in January 2025, and have now confirmed the name of their baby daughter, Aurora Raina Urker, at a special baby shower.

However, recent reports suggest trouble in paradise.

According to Blast, online videos suggest Urker may have walked out on Blanchard weeks after the paternity test results were shared publicly.

TikToker Flawless Nina, who has closely followed Blanchard's journey, commented on the situation.

“He was tired of defending her,” Nina claimed in one video. “He was tired of standing up for her. He was tired of doing so much, and she constantly embarrasses him.”

Despite these claims, Urker was seen attending Blanchard's baby shower over the weekend, casting doubt on the breakup rumors.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard advocates social media privacy 

The rumors come shortly after Blanchard announced she would no longer share personal updates on public platforms.

The 33-year-old shared a statement on her TikTok page, writing, “I will no longer be posting personal content on this public platform," she stated.

She elaborated on her decision, writing, “Since I was released, I have shared with supporters my hardships and achievements through the lens of social media."

She added, "However, I find myself at a crossroads that leads me to desire a more private life sharing with only family and close friends these special moments.”

Blanchard also revealed she now uses private social media accounts and will only accept follow requests from people she knows personally.

“This decision was made with consideration to the well-being of my own mental health that as well as the overall wellbeing of my family and daughter,” she added.

Blanchard further said, "We are all doing very well and are in good spirits, excited for our futures moving forward. Thank you."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's complicated past

As is well known, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has had a tumultuous journey.

Formerly married to Anderson during her incarceration, she rekindled her romance with Urker, to whom she was engaged while serving time for her involvement in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

The timing of her decision to quit social media coincides with heightened public interest in Blanchard's personal life, particularly her pregnancy.

She previously shared that the pregnancy was unplanned but expressed excitement about becoming a mother.

In July, Blanchard's paternity revelation came after a Louisiana attorney informed People Magazine that Ryan Anderson could be named as the father on the baby's birth certificate without DNA proof to the contrary.

Moving on, Urker and Blanchard then shared snippets from their gender reveal back on August 10, posting a short video that included a photo of the couple popping a balloon to reveal pink confetti. 

As per NBC News, in a now-deleted IG post, she was seen gleefully sharing, “Hi sweetie, I’m your mom,” before Urker added, “I’m your dad.” 

In November, Blanchard shared on Instagram that Urker was indeed the biological father of her child, posting results that confirmed Urker's paternity with 99.9% certainty.

"There’s been a lot of chatter around the paternity of our baby... Here are the results showing Ken is the father. Ken is going to be an incredible dad," she wrote in the captions, dispelling doubts about the baby's parentage.
