Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s fiancé, Ken Urker, has died.
Urker was found unresponsive at a home in Louisiana on his birthday, TMZ reported Thursday.
He was 33 years old.
According to the outlet, Urker was discovered by a family member after he didn’t respond when Gypsy Rose texted him “happy birthday.”
Gypsy Rose and Urker shared their daughter, 1-year-old Aurora Raina, who was born in December 2024.
A month before Aurora’s birth, the convicted murderer confirmed once and for all that Urker was the father of her baby — not her ex-husband, Ryan Anderson.
“There’s been a lot of chatter around the paternity of our baby and while we’ve known for sure from the beginning, I feel that it’s finally time to put all these theories to rest,” she wrote in a since-deleted post. “Ken is the father.”
“Ken is going to be an incredible dad and we are so excited to welcome our baby girl into the world,” she added.
Gypsy Rose and Urker met as prison pen pals in 2017 while she was behind bars for her role in the 2015 murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard.
They got engaged in October 2018, but they broke up in August 2019.
Gypsy Rose then married Anderson in July 2022 while still in prison, but the two split in March 2024, just three months after she was released from prison.
Their divorce was finalized later that year.
Gypsy Rose subsequently rekindled her romance with Urker.
Just weeks after her split from Anderson, Gypsy Rose got matching husky dog tattoos with Urker.
Gypsy Rose shared a TMI confession in an April 2025 episode of “Life After Lock Up” about how “adventurous” she and Urker were in the bedroom since their reconciliation.
“Our first weekend that we reconnected, it was like a floodgate,” she shared on her Lifetime reality show.
“And naturally, now there are times that I think is harder because of schedules and business and work and, like, I want that back for us,” she added.
While showing off some of their kinky items — like a pair of fuzzy handcuffs — Gypsy Rose shared, “I’m the most adventurous girlfriend that he’s had, so I’m the freak.”
