Gypsy Rose revisits a birthday party that costs Ken $3,000
In the video overlay, Blanchard began reminiscing about her birthday and the money Urker lost and spent at the celebration. “I look back at my phone, and I think back to my birthday and I think back to when Ken lost $2000 and spent $700 on dinner,” she said.
Urker then corrected the total, revealing that she had left out the cost of her gift. “A $2,700 birthday, actually, and your gift was $300, so it’s a $3,000 birthday,” he replied.
The exchange took place while the pair were traveling in a car. Blanchard’s description included a $2,000 loss and a $700 dinner, while Urker added another $300 for her gift.
The clip did not explain how he lost the money or how he named the gift. Blanchard shared the exchange in memory, posting only her short message “these moments” and the emoji over the video.
Ken Urker told Blanchard she was ‘Worth Every Penny’
After calculating the birthday expenses, Urker delivered a message to Blanchard. “Happy birthday Gypsy, you’re worth it; you’re worth every penny,” he said.
Gypsy did not indicate when the video was recorded in the information provided.
Urker and Blanchard had separated before his death, according to Page Six. Since her death, she has shared memories of their relationship and described him as someone who would still be very important to her.
Blanchard previously shared personal videos of Ken and Aurora
Before posting the birthday exchange to her Stories, Blanchard shared an Instagram tribute with personal photos and videos of Urker. The collection included a photo of him smiling, a funny filter video, footage of their daughter, Aurora, and a clip of Urker teasing Blanchard. Another showed him singing in a car. “You will always be my best love story. You will always be remembered and loved,” she captioned the post.
On Sunday morning, Blanchard also shared a photo of Urker and Aurora while asking followers to support a Change.org petition for “Kenan’s Law.” The proposal calls for social media platforms to examine patterns of reported harassment rather than reviewing each post individually. “All I have is my daughter and my voice,” she wrote at the beginning of the announcement.
Urker was found unresponsive on her 34th birthday
Urker was found unresponsive at a residence in Raceland, Louisiana, on Thursday, October 1. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office previously confirmed that officers responded after receiving a call at 6:15 p.m. Authorities said he was dead on arrival and the investigation was ongoing.
Blanchard has said she suspects Urker died of an overdose, although a final cause and manner of death have not been established in the information provided. “I don’t know if it was intentional or not. He hasn’t been in a good state of mind lately,” she previously told PEOPLE. “I’m in disbelief. I can’t think. I screamed until my throat burned.”
She also said that she had sent a text to Urker wishing him a happy birthday but had not received a reply.
Gypsy Rose And Ken Welcome Aurora After Rekindling Their Romance
Blanchard and Urker first tied the knot in 2017 while she was in prison. He sent her a letter of support after watching the HBO documentary “Mommy Dead and Dearest,” and their correspondence blossomed into a relationship.
Urker proposed in 2018, but the pair later split. Blanchard went on to marry Ryan Anderson before that marriage ended after she was released from prison. She and Urker reunited in April 2024 and welcomed Aurora Raina in December of that year.
A month before their daughter was born, Blanchard publicly confirmed that Urker was the father after speculation about Anderson. “Ken is going to be an amazing father and we are so excited to welcome our little girl into the world,” she wrote at the time.
After his death, Blanchard vowed to “make sure she grew up knowing how deeply her father loved her.”
