Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s estranged husband Ryan Anderson files for restraining order against her

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: Gypsy Rose Blanchard's estranged husband Ryan Scott Anderson filed a restraining order against her, days after she obtained one against him.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Anderson, 37, retaliated against his estranged wife on Thursday, April 11, hours after she filed for divorce and requested spousal support by alleging "he is at fault in the dissolution of the marriage".

The contentious pair got married in July 2022, while Blanchard was incarcerated for eight years following her conviction for giving her then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn the order to kill her mother, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, in 2015.

Blanchard, 32, filed for a restraining order on Monday, April 8—less than two years after the couple wed in a modest jail ceremony in Livingston County, Missouri, on July 21, 2022. The two have been living apart ever since their physical separation on March 25.

The divorce was filed after Blanchard's ongoing friendship with her ex-fiance Ken Urker caused her to split from Anderson, as exclusively revealed to Daily Mail by Anderson.

"I'm not doing well with it. For me it just came out of the blue. I had no idea she still had such strong feelings for him," Anderson said at the time.

Anderson claimed to have been "blindsided" by how fast his ex seemed to rekindle her romance with her ex-fiance Urker.

On March 28, Blanchard announced that she and the 37-year-old special education teacher were separating, in a statement on her private Facebook account—just three months after her release from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center.

"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. 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," Blanchard wrote.

Blanchard is urging that [Anderson] not receive any support and is asking for both interim and ultimate spousal support "as he is at fault in the dissolution of the marriage." A judicial decision is scheduled for May 23.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard spotted hanging out with ex-fiance Ken Urker

Following her split with Anderson, Blanchard was seen out and about with her former fiance Ken Urker. Both also got identical tattoos. Blanchard and Urker were engaged in the years before Blanchard married Anderson.

Raina Williams, Urker's mother, previously told PEOPLE that the two were "very cool," having confirmed that they had reconciled after Blanchard and Anderson's breakup.

"Ken is just being a supportive friend to her," Williams remarked.

Although Blanchard has maintained that there is "no intimacy" between the two and that he is merely being a supportive friend, Urker wasted no time in flying from Texas to be by her side.

Anderson, however, is adamant that the relationship is to be blamed for his marriage failing, per Daily Mail.

Blanchard was also seen holding Urker's hand as they did errands at a Dollar General in south Louisiana.

Raina Williams, Urker's mother, and her family have shown Blanchard support. She and Urker watched the HBO documentary 'Mommy Dead and Dearest' to learn about Blanchard's childhood experience.

Williams also expressed her opinions about Blanchard, stating, "I think she’s a sweet girl. I think she’s made her mistakes and she’s trying to learn from them like anyone else. And I care a lot for Gypsy and I want to see good things happen for her."

Even in 2018, Urker, with his mother's approval, wrote a letter to Blanchard while she was incarcerated. "He asked me before he wrote the letter and I thought it was a great idea just to show the girl that people out there her age can sympathize," Williams explained.

In 2018, while Blanchard remained incarcerated, the couple called it quits after becoming engaged.
