Gypsy Rose Blanchard demands long-term spousal support from ex Ryan Anderson as she files for restraining order

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gypsy Rose Blanchard is demanding interim and long-term spousal support from her estranged husband Ryan Anderson after filing a temporary restraining order against him. The 32-year-old ended her one-year marriage to Anderson after she was released from prison, E! Online reports. 

The news comes days after Blanchard filed for divorce from Anderson. In the court filing, Gypsy said she is "in need and defendant has ability to pay." Gypsy also claimed that she "is not at fault for the dissolution of marriage." She requested for the court to deny spousal support to Ryan, 37, in the document.

Blanchard intially took to her private Facebook account to announce that she and her husband were separating. The Lafourche Parish clerk of the court confirmed saying, "The filing has been sent to the assigned Judge for review and to schedule any hearing dates if necessary." 

Blanchard and Anderson were seperated three months after being freed from a Missouri jail where she had spent over eight years for trying to kill her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, with her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn. 

“People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou,” Blanchard wrote on Facebook on 28 March, adding “I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am.”

After Blanchard was freed from the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri on December 28, 2022, the pair got married in an intimate ceremony there in July of that same year. In 2016, Blanchard entered a guilty plea to second-degree murder following an inquiry that revealed her mother had coerced her into pretending to be ill with multiple chronic ailments.

Blanchard and Anderson met in 2020 after the special education teacher sent her letters in prison. Blanchard said that Anderson's comparable upbringing motivated her to write him a letter back, which set him apart from the other guys vying for her attention.

"Well, Ryan’s from Louisiana and I’m originally from Louisiana. So, I saw that and I’m kinda like, ‘Hey, someone from my home state we probably have a lot in common,’” she recalled. “We became friends and, of course, more than friends and then now we’re married,” she said. 

Despite having been married since 2022, Anderson clarified when Blanchard was released that they were referring to themselves as "newly-together-wed" since they can now finally go out on dates on regular basis. “It’s nice, it’s what I’ve been waiting for,” the teacher said, adding: “We’re still learning [about] each other but it’s been great.”

Blanchard shared that, since her release from prison, the couple cooked their first dinner together and she’d already told her husband “to put the toilet seat down several times.”
