This public display of their closeness has left Anderson confused and hurt. He told Daily Mail, “I haven’t spoken to her, so I just don’t know what’s going on. I’m at a loss. I’m really not doing well at all.”
Despite Blanchard’s insistence that there is "no intimacy" between her and Urker, Anderson believes this relationship is the reason for the end of their marriage as the publication reported.
The fallout of Ryan Anderson and Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s marriage
It’s been nearly two weeks since Blanchard left their marital home in Lake Charles and moved back to her father and stepmother’s home in Cut Off, Louisiana.
She also announced a split in a Facebook post which TMZ reported was due to "Anderson's argumentativeness and constant jealousy over the amount of time she wanted to spend with her father."
Blanchard’s family, who were not in favor of her marrying Anderson, have expressed concerns that the relationship started as a "dare." However, a family member told the publication that Anderson entered the relationship "with the best of intentions."
The family member added, “He really loves her. Ryan’s a really good guy. You won’t get better than Ryan."
The family menber added, "But she’s scarred by all that has happened to her. We thought Gypsy was doing okay but she’s not."
One more family member added, "I don't know if either of them has spoken to divorce attorneys, but the split is real. It's done."
