Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Final Text Conversations With Ken Urker Before Her Tragic Death Revealed
Gyspy Rose Blanchard’s last text conversations with Ken Urker were about their 1-year-old daughter, Aurora, before her shocking death last week.
When asked what their text exchanges were like in the weeks leading up to her death, a source close to the couple told us exclusively, “It was just normal, mostly about Aurora.”
We’re told Blanchard and Urker — who officially broke up a month ago — have mostly talked about co-parenting.
“She was speaking more like a friend kind of thing. Just on a co-parenting level,” the source explained. “So it was like, ‘Hey, how’s your day going? Cool.'”
“It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, what did you do?’ “What did you watch on TV last night?” “Oh, we’re having that for dinner.” It wasn’t that sort of thing. You know, it was like he’s not interested right now, so I’m just going to talk about the baby.
The source explained that Blanchard, 35, avoided any text flirting because she knew Urker had mental health issues, and while she wanted to get back with him, she also knew how to give him space to heal.
“Once Gypsy accepted that (their relationship) was over, that’s when she shut down any sort of relationship vibe,” the source said.
As Page Six exclusively reported, Blanchard and Urker were living separately when they officially called things off about a month before his passing.
“They both amicably said a month ago, let’s leave it here, take our space and see where we are,” our source told us last week.
We’re told it was an “amicable” breakup and there was nothing “bad” between them.
We also hear that the reason they ended things was due to Urker’s mental health battle.
“She missed him. She wanted him back, obviously, and he just wasn’t in the right frame of mind,” the source said of Urker. “His state of mind regarding mental health has not been good in recent months.”
“We all wanted him to get better and see if he would go to therapy. And she just hoped that would be the outcome,” the source continued.
Even though they were no longer in love with each other, they continued to stay in touch for the sake of their child.
“They were in touch every few days to check on Aurora, because she had it on all the time, and they were using FaceTime,” the source said.
Urker and Gypsy met in 2017 while she was serving time in prison for the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. They got engaged a year late but broke up in 2019 and she married Ryan Scott Anderson in June 2022.
Gypsy and Anderson ended their marriage after two years and she got back together with Urker shortly after.
Urker was “found dead on arrival” at his Louisiana home on his 34th birthday last Thursday, the Lafourche Parish public information officer told Page Six.
Cops said they “found no evidence of foul play” but were “continuing to investigate the death.”
A police report obtained by Page Six revealed that Urker was found with drug paraphernalia and a gun at the time of his death.
“Officers walked into the room and located paraphernalia (syringes and spoons) in the bathroom next to a brown powdery substance,” the report states. “The police found a syringe and a gun on the nightstand next to the bed.”
Shortly after news of his death broke, Blanchard claimed in a social media post that Urker died of a suspected drug overdose.
“I can’t think. I screamed until my throat burned,” she wrote in a statement. “Ken was an extraordinary father and a deeply loved man. He will forever be my soul mate and my common thread, a bond that time, distance and even death can never erase.”
Blanchard also claimed that Urker struggled to deal with constant online harassment.
“Ken endured an unimaginable level of public surveillance and relentless cyberbullying on social media platforms, including TikTok and Reddit,” she said. “The cruelty he suffered was something no human being should have to endure.”
She then urged her fans to sign a petition over online harassment and thanked her followers for their support as she continued to mourn her loss.
