Ryan Scott Anderson recently spoke out for the first time since splitting from his estranged wife, Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Anderson expressed that he was not doing well with the breakup and was surprised to learn that Blanchard still had strong feelings for her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker. The couple’s split was announced on March 29 after less than two years of marriage, with Blanchard moving in with her parents in Louisiana for support as she navigates her new reality.
Blanchard’s separation from Anderson came three months after her release from prison, where she served seven years for plotting the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn. Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was granted parole in September 2023. During her incarceration, Gypsy’s story gained attention from Hollywood, with documentaries and TV shows chronicling her complex relationship with her mother and the events that led to her incarceration.
Anderson and Gypsy first connected in 2020 when he sent her a letter in prison, and they tied the knot in a jailhouse ceremony in July 2022. They had plans for a more public wedding ceremony once Gypsy was released, but things took a turn once they moved in together. Gypsy’s friend, Nadiya Vizier, alleged that a heated argument and possible fear for her safety led to the breakup. Vizier claimed that Anderson had screamed at Gypsy and that she felt afraid he might hit her, leading her to seek safety with relatives in Louisiana.
Gypsy reportedly took her belongings and sought refuge at her father’s house following the incident. The details of what transpired during the breakup remain unclear, and Anderson has not publicly commented on the allegations made by Gypsy’s friend. The couple’s relationship and subsequent split have garnered public attention due to Gypsy’s high-profile case and the portrayal of her story in various media projects. Despite the challenges they faced, both Anderson and Gypsy are now focused on finding their own paths and moving forward after their split.
