Ken Urker’s family has extended an olive branch to his ex-fiancée, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, by inviting her to his funeral in his native Texas.
Despite Urker’s sister Autumn claiming her family is “disgusted” with Blanchard for her public statement following his death, insiders told TMZ on Monday there is “no tension” between the reality star and her ex’s family.
Additionally, sources said that Urker’s parents don’t blame Blanchard for their son’s death, and that his mom, Raina, actually likes the convicted murderer.
Blanchard, 35, is reportedly “open” to attending the funeral but also wants to hold one in Louisiana for her family members who can’t travel to Texas.
On Saturday, Blanchard joined Urker’s family members for an intimate, private viewing honoring her late ex.
The “My Time to Stand” author, Urker’s mother, two of his sisters and his brother came together in Louisiana to pay their final respects, TMZ reported.
Blanchard and Urker’s 1-year-old daughter, Aurora, also attended. However, the outlet reported that Autumn was not present.
As Page Six previously reported, Urker was found unresponsive at a home in Louisiana on his 34th birthday on Oct. 1.
A family member reportedly found Urker after he failed to respond to Blanchard’s “happy birthday” text.
After his passing, Blanchard spoke to TMZ, claiming Urker died from an overdose.
Page Six exclusively reported that Urker — who had quietly split from Blanchard a month before his death — was found with drugs, drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the time of his death.
Ken’s sister Autumn accused Blanchard of lying about the circumstances surrounding Ken’s death — specifically disputing claims that he was found only after he failed to respond to a text from her wishing him a happy birthday.
Blanchard replied to Autumn’s allegations, telling Us Weekly that they have had “significant tension” for a while.
After Urker’s death, Blanchard started an online petition to pass “Kenan’s Law” to fight online harassment.
“In honor of Ken, I am asking for your support for Kenan’s Law. 🤍,” she captioned an Instagram post Sunday.
“Before his passing, Ken experienced an overwhelming amount of online scrutiny and what we believed crossed the line into targeted harassment and cyberbullying,” Blanchard claimed.
