Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s former husband, Ryan Anderson, says he was “shocked” by the death of her former partner, Ken Urker, who dies in Louisiana. Anderson also comments that he and Urker “never really saw eye to eye,” and notes that he and Urker did not meet face-to-face.
In remarks shared during an appearance on a podcast, Anderson says he reaches out to Blanchard’s father to offer support following what is described as an apparent overdose death. Anderson adds that he would be there for Blanchard and her daughter “if she needs me.”
Different outlets emphasize different parts of Anderson’s response: one focuses on his lack of direct relationship with Urker and their disagreements, while another highlights his personal reaction and outreach to Blanchard’s family in the wake of Urker’s death.
