In March 2025, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker opened up about their relationship and shared they were working toward marriage, just over two months after welcoming daughter Aurora.
Ken was found dead on Oct. 1 at the age of 34 of a suspected overdose, according to Gypsy. She mourned his loss on Instagram, writing, "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."
She went on to say that Ken was the victim of "relentless cyberbullying."
"I hope his passing serves as a reminder that there is a real person behind every screen, every headline, and every comment," she wrote.
Ken leaves behind 21-month-old Aurora, who Gypsy says will grow up "knowing how deeply her father loved her."
