The family of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s former partner Ken Urker is “disgusted” with her following her unexpected death.
Ken’s sister Autumn Urker spoke to the Daily Mail in an interview published Saturday and she revealed how her family felt about Blanchard following his death.
“We are disgusted by his statements! Autumn, 31, told the outlet. “She hasn’t even called my mom or any of us yet.”
She described her brother as a “great man” who “didn’t care if you were broken,” adding that “he would always love you” and “always fight for you.”
“He tried really hard for Gypsy because he was that (kind of) person,” she added.
“My brother was a good father, a good brother, a good son and a good friend,” she continued. “And we were all fortunate and lucky to have known him.”
In another interview with the US Sun published Friday, Autumn accused Blanchard, 35, of lying about the circumstances surrounding Ken’s death, specifically disputing claims that he was only found after he failed to respond to a message from her wishing him happy birthday.
“Gypsy had no right to lie and say it was because of a text she sent him,” she told the outlet.
Autumn also claimed that Blanchard told people that she and Ken were “engaged and planning for baby number two,” which she said wasn’t true.
Blanchard and Ken shared a daughter, Aurora Raina, 1, who they welcomed in December 2024.
Autumn said the couple “weren’t together” and broke up “over a month ago”, adding that it was Ken who ended the relationship.
“When he said, ‘I’m done,’ she would do something, and so it was a fight every time they broke up,” she added.
Ken was found dead in his bed at his home in Raceland, Louisiana, on Thursday, his 34th birthday.
Page Six reported that authorities found drugs, drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the scene.
According to a 911 dispatch log, Blanchard’s sister-in-law, Anita Blanchard, told the dispatcher that Ken had threatened suicide shortly before his death.
Immediately after Ken’s death, Blanchard told People that she suspected he died of an overdose.
“I don’t know if it was intentional or not,” she told the outlet. “He hasn’t been in a good state of mind lately.”
She paid tribute to Ken in a lengthy statement shared on her Instagram Stories alongside never-before-seen photos of Ken with their daughter.
“Ken was an extraordinary father and a deeply loved man,” the statement read in part. “He will forever be my soul mate and my common thread, a bond that time, distance and even death can never erase.”
