Gypsy Rose Blanchard is speaking out about the devastating death of her longtime partner, Ken Urker. And she’s addressing some particularly awful accusations being made against her in the aftermath of his passing.
On Sunday, the 35-year-old sat down for an emotional interview with 60 Minutes Australia, marking her first live interview since Ken was found dead at his home in Raceland, Louisiana, back on October 1. He was, as we have reported, just 34 years old.

During the interview, Gypsy broke down in tears several times while discussing the loss of her partner, with whom she shared 2-year-old daughter Aurora.
Recalling the moment she learned Ken had died, she said:
“I just kept saying, ‘No, no, no, no.’ This isn’t true. You’re lying, you’re making this up.’ And I just hit the floor, and I just remember screaming, ‘No, no.’”
She continued:
“Honestly, I’m still trying to process everything. It’s been really difficult because, I just, I can’t make sense of anything anymore.”
As previously reported, Ken’s body was discovered near drug paraphernalia and a holstered handgun. However, a spokesperson for the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said after his passing that investigators “found no evidence of foul play” in his death.
Still, that apparently hasn’t stopped some people from making accusations against Gypsy herself. When the interviewer directly asked whether she had anything to do with Ken’s death, her response was unequivocal:
“Absolutely not. No.”
She described those allegations as:
“…Disgusting to hear, because that was the love of my life. That’s the father of my child. I’ve known Ken for almost nine years. No other man, no other person, had my heart like he did.”
The couple’s relationship had a complicated history. They first became engaged in 2018 while Gypsy was incarcerated for her role in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. They later called off the engagement, reconciled in 2019, and eventually separated again. Their romance was rekindled following Gypsy’s 2024 divorce from Ryan Anderson.
Through tears, Gypsy explained how difficult it has been to imagine her future without Ken:
“I’m at a loss. So much has changed now. I feel like I’m in the dark. It’s like, we had a plan for everything … and everything was gonna be okay because he was right by my side. I wouldn’t have to do it alone. And now that’s changed, and I feel lost.”
She also revealed that Ken had moved out before his death, saying he had been struggling with the relentless online criticism directed at their relationship.

Gypsy explained:
“When I first came out of prison, everyone seemed to be so excited for me and my newfound freedom. And then over time, unfortunately, more criticism came my way. It was like things were fine in the home, we were happy. But online, there was so much negativity.”
According to Gypsy, one particularly disturbing accusation had taken an especially serious toll on Ken: people repeatedly labeling him a child predator.
She recalled:
“It was definitely being called a child predator for no reason. That was one that really got to him because he’s a father. People had been calling him that since the start of our relationship in 2017, because they would look at me, [saying I’m] kind of childlike, [and] he must be into that kind of thing.”
Just heartbreaking.
