Ken Urker’s sister, Autumn Urker, says Gypsy Rose Blanchard “had no right to lie” about the details surrounding her former partner’s unexpected death.
Autumn claimed to the US Sun Friday that Blanchard’s birthday text was not what prompted concerns about her brother.
TMZ previously reported that a family member discovered Ken after he failed to respond to Blanchard’s text wishing him a happy 34th birthday.
“Gypsy had no right to lie and say that it was because of some text that she sent to him,” Autumn, 31, told the Sun.
She also claimed Blanchard, 35, had been telling people “they were engaged and planning baby number two,” but said neither was true.
Blanchard and Ken shared daughter Aurora Raina, whom they welcomed in December 2024.
Autumn said Blanchard and Ken “were not together” and told the outlet they had split “over a month ago,” claiming Ken was the one who ended the relationship.
“When he was like, ‘I’m done,’ she’d do a thing, and so it was a fight whenever they split,” she said.
A source close to Blanchard and Ken exclusively told Page Six that the pair had quietly ended their relationship a month before his death, though they had been living apart for about two months.
The insider said the exes were “trying to work it out for a bit” but ultimately split on good terms.
“They both just amicably, a month ago, said let’s just leave it here, have our space and see where we’re at,” the source explained. “It was nothing nasty … It was just a mutual agreement. They were co-parenting.”
In a recent TikTok livestream, Autumn revealed that her brother’s final words to her were “I love you.”
She tearfully recalled her last conversation with Ken, saying, “When I talked to him last night, he said he was going home to go to sleep and then he had work in the morning.”
Autumn also claimed that Blanchard’s brother, Dylan, his wife and another woman whose name she did not want to disclose were the ones who found Ken.
Blanchard, for her part, told People after Ken’s death that she suspected he died from an overdose.
“I don’t know if it was intentional or not,” she told the outlet. “He was not in a good state of mind lately.”
She also paid tribute to Ken, telling the outlet in part, “Ken was an amazing father and a man who was deeply loved. He will forever be my soulmate and my red string, a connection that time, distance and even death can never erase.”
More recently, Blanchard’s ex-husband, Ryan Anderson, detailed his “shock” after learning of Ken’s death during an appearance on “The Sarah Fraser Show” Friday.
“I didn’t believe it at first. I was like no. My initial thought was shock, like, ‘Hmm, how’d that happen?’” Anderson, 40, said.
“My immediate thought went to, ‘How’s Gypsy?’” he added. “My immediate thought was, ‘How’s she doing. And what about their kid?’”
Ken was found dead in his bed at his Raceland, Louisiana, home Thursday, on his 34th birthday.
Page Six previously exclusively revealed that he was found with drugs, drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the time of his death.
A 911 dispatch log also revealed that Ken had threatened suicide shortly before his body was discovered.
