Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a resident of Springfield, Missouri, has officially filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Ryan Anderson. The decision to end their marriage comes just one week after announcing their separation, according to reports from TMZ on Monday.
While the specific reasons behind their breakup remain unclear, there is speculation that more details may emerge in Blanchard’s upcoming Lifetime show. The series is expected to shed light on her life after serving an eight-year prison sentence.
Shortly after the divorce filing, Anderson hinted on Instagram that the reasons for their split might be revealed in the show. Blanchard, aged 32, initially shared news of their separation in a Facebook post on March 28, as reported by People magazine.
Blanchard’s tumultuous past includes pleading guilty to the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, in 2015 alongside her then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn. Her release from prison in December 2023 marked a new chapter in her life outside the confines of incarceration.
Despite appearing inseparable in public, attending events together and sharing intimate moments on social media, Blanchard’s close friend raised concerns about her safety in her relationship with Anderson. Allegations of potential domestic violence surfaced, with reports suggesting a history of abuse.
On the other hand, Anderson expressed shock over the sudden end of their marriage, claiming to have been blindsided by the divorce. Meanwhile, Blanchard has been seen rekindling a relationship with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker, whom she was engaged to in 2018.
Recent sightings of Blanchard and Urker holding hands and getting matching tattoos have sparked speculation about a possible reconciliation. The couple’s public display of affection in South Louisiana has reignited interest in Blanchard’s personal life and her journey after leaving prison.
