Ryan Anderson Reveals What Really Led to Gypsy Rose Blanchard Breakup

Ryan Anderson is still reeling after his breakup with Gypsy Rose Blanchard. 

Though the pair split in March, the 37-year-old finds himself still trying to put the pieces together of what led to their decision to divorce after two years of marriage—the first year of which Gypsy was still behind bars.

"I have some ideas," he told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. "Personally, I think outside influences got involved. And I don't want to pinpoint it yet, because I'm still processing, but I'd go to work and then her mind would just run rampant. And I'm still trying to figure out how did it happen so fast?"

He continued, "That's my thing, when I say I'm blindsided—really, I'm blindsided about how fast things occur. It's like a snowball and I haven't been able to stop it. It's just one of those where it's gonna continue to roll."

And as he's reflected on their relationship in their months apart, Ryan has had time to think on those "outside forces" in his relationship with Gypsy, who has since reunited with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker. 

"I mean people in her inner circle, things like that got in her head," he explained, adding, "It just turned it."

Yet while he and Gypsy have parted ways, their love story is playing out on the new series Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, which follows the 32-year-old following her release from prison in December, where she served seven years for her role in the murder of her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard.

For Ryan, who described himself as "just a normal guy," life in the spotlight has been an adjustment. 

"There's a lot to process, it's weird watching yourself on TV," he reflected. "I'm not used to that. It's new."

Ryan and Gypsy lived together for a few months following her release from prison, before she filed for divorce in April and requested a temporary restraining order. 

But amid the scrutiny on the pair's relationship, and their subsequent breakup, Ryan said the well-wishes he's received have made all the difference. "It's amazing to see the love and support I get, just being myself," he told E!. "I'm just a genuine person. I fell in love with Gypsy, that's the only thing about me. So it's cool to see the support."

In late March 2024, three months after her prison release, Gypsy shared that she and Ryan broke up.

"People have been asking what is going on in my life," she wrote in a statement on her private Facebook page, according to People. "Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou."

Days later, Gypsy was spotted out with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker. He said that the two are "just hanging out as friends."

Gypsy underwent a rhinopasty and septoplasty (nose job) April 5, 2024. Her physical transformation is set to be documented on Lifetime's Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up in June 2024.

Gypsy filed for divorce from Ryan on April 8, 2024, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing came nearly two years after their July 2022 prison wedding.

In late April 2024, weeks after filing for divorce from Ryan Anderson, Gypsy announced she has gotten back together with ex-fiancé Ken Urker. The following May, she makes their rekindled romance social media official by sharing a video montage of their romantic moments on TikTok.

In her video, Gypsy described her love story with Ken Urker "legendary."

And when a fan, using her own past comments about ex Ryan Anderson, took the oppotunity to ask her in the comments a NSFW question about Ken, Gypsy responded quickly and candidly.
