Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's life has been a rollercoaster of events. After serving a 10-year prison sentence for second-degree murder and being released on parole, she found herself in a series of significant relationships and life changes.

Divorce and Its Aftermath

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard and her ex-husband Ryan Scott Anderson have finally completed their divorce. This news arrives eight months after Blanchard filed for divorce in April. The Lafourche Parish Clerk of the Court in Louisiana confirmed the filing.Blanchard announced the couple's separation in a Facebook post on March 28. A friend revealed that the split was due to a heated argument in March and that Blanchard felt her husband was controlling. "He got in her face and screamed," Nadiya Vizier said. "Gypsy said that she was afraid he was going to hit her. It was really scary."Anderson has denied such behavior. Gypsy-Rose now says she extended an offer for a civil conversation for closure purposes and is waiting for a response. She also mentioned that they have worked out their financial disagreements in court.Looking back, Gypsy-Rose realized that her marriage to Anderson wasn't working out. "It was like a shock. I'm married," she said. After some time, she knew it wasn't the kind of marriage she wanted. "It's like settling. You're just doing what everyone else does, but not truly happy."Anderson and Blanchard met while she was in prison. They got married in a jailhouse ceremony in 2022. But three months later, she decided to separate from him.Soon after, Blanchard was seen with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker. They got matching tattoos and reconnected. "I felt a soul connection with Ken. I could be myself," Blanchard added.
