Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleGypsy Rose Blanchard has been going through a tough time ever since her fiancé and longtime partner, Ken Urker, passed away. He reportedly died from an overdose on October 1, 2026, at his Louisiana home. What made the news even more tragic was that the day Ken died was also his 34th birthday. Now, Gypsy sat down for her first live interview since his death.
Gypsy Rose broke down in tears while speaking about her late partner, Ken Urker, in her first live interview since his passing. On Sunday, November 15, 2026, Gypsy appeared on a segment of 60 Minutes Australia where she confessed that she is “still trying to process” Ken’s sudden death. Recalling the moment that she found out that Ken was no more, Gypsy said:
“I just kept saying, ‘No, no, no, no.’ This isn’t true. You’re lying, you’re making this up.’ And I just hit the floor, and I just remember screaming, ‘No, no.’”
Gypsy Rose admitted that it has been “really difficult” for her since his death because she can't make sense of anything anymore. According to reports, Ken was found dead next to drug paraphernalia and a holstered handgun on October 1, 2026. At the time, a spokesperson for the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office (LPSO) told PEOPLE that they “found no evidence of foul play” in Ken’s death.
Gypsy also made it clear that she had nothing to do with her late partner’s death during her 60 Minutes Australia interview. After being explicitly asked if she was at all involved, she said, “Absolutely not. No.” Gypsy said that any accusations against her were “disgusting to hear, because that was the love of my life.” She added:
“That’s the father of my child. I’ve known Ken for almost nine years. No other man, no other person, had my heart as he did.”
Gypsy Rose and Ken Urker became engaged back in 2018. At the time Gypsy was still serving her prison sentence for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. The duo called off the engagement shortly after, before reconciling in 2019. They split for the second time and reconnected years later when Gypsy got divorced from Ryan Anderson in 2024.
Breaking down during the 60 Minutes Australia interview, Gypsy Rose said that she is at a loss because so much had changed since Ken died. She recalled that they would always have a plan for everything, and since Ken was by her side, it made her feel like all would be okay. Gypsy confessed that she knew that with Ken, she wouldn't have to do anything alone. But now that he is dead, she feels like she's “in the dark.” Gypsy also said that she feels lost without him.
Before Ken’s passing, Gypsy Rose revealed that he had actually moved out of their home. He had been struggling deeply after receiving criticism not only about himself but also about their relationship. She shared:
“When I first came out of prison, everyone seemed to be so excited for me and my newfound freedom. And then over time, unfortunately, more criticism came my way. It was like things were fine in the home; we were happy. But online, there was so much negativity.”
Gypsy further explained that Ken’s final straw came when he was accused of being a child predator. She said that people began calling him that since the beginning of their relationship in 2017, as people would look at her and think that she was childlike, leading them to believe Ken was into that kind of thing.
