Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her ex-husband, Ryan Anderson, got into a heated argument before their separation, with Gypsy fearing that Anderson would become physically violent. She confided in a friend that she was afraid Anderson might hit her, as violence had occurred in the past with her mother. Although he did not hit her, the encounter was reportedly scary, with Anderson allegedly getting in her face and screaming. Gypsy was able to call her lawyer and seek safety during the incident, which took place at a home in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The reason for the argument remains unknown.
Gypsy’s friend, Nadiya Vizier, claimed that throughout their marriage, Anderson displayed controlling behavior towards Gypsy. Vizier likened the situation to Gypsy feeling locked in her own home and marriage, stating that she did not want to put up with it any longer. Following the argument, Gypsy decided to separate from Anderson and moved in with her parents as she takes time to find herself and listen to her heart. The couple had gotten married in a jailhouse ceremony in July 2022 while Gypsy was serving time for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who suffered from Munchausen by proxy syndrome.
After being released on parole in December 2023, Gypsy lived with Anderson for just three months before their separation. She announced the split via a private Facebook post after deleting her public social media accounts. Gypsy mentioned the need for time to discover herself and find out who she truly is. Since then, she has found comfort in her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker, with whom she has been seen holding hands and getting matching tattoos. Vizier clarified that Gypsy did not leave Anderson for Urker and instead was unhappy in her marriage, leading to the split.
Despite the rumors surrounding Gypsy’s relationships, Vizier spoke out to clarify that Gypsy left Anderson because she was no longer happy, not because of another romantic interest. Gypsy’s cousin, Bobby Pitre, acknowledged that Gypsy realized Anderson was not the right partner for her, leading to their separation. Pitre also expressed hope that Gypsy may have a future romance with Urker, as she appears to be in love with him. The situation surrounding Gypsy’s relationships continues to be the subject of speculation and rumors, but those close to her are hopeful that she will find happiness and fulfillment in her personal life.
