Gypsy Rose Blanchard has received a portion of ex-fiancé Ken Urker's ashes following his cremation, according to TMZ, which reported the remains were divided among Blanchard, Urker's mother Raina, and his siblings over the weekend.

Urker was cremated and his ashes split following a celebration-of-life ceremony held Saturday, per the outlet. Blanchard received her share with the understanding that she will eventually share it with the couple's daughter, Aurora, who turned 21 months old this fall.

A Sudden Loss

Urker died on October 1 — his 34th birthday — at his home in Raceland, Louisiana, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed to multiple outlets, including CBS News. Blanchard's brother Dylan and his wife discovered Urker unresponsive at the home. A cause of death has not been officially released; some reports have said an overdose is being examined, though that detail remains unconfirmed by authorities.

Blanchard and Urker had been engaged and share Aurora, born in December 2024, though the couple had since separated. In the days after his death, Blanchard called Urker "an amazing father and a man who was deeply loved," writing that he "will always be" her greatest love story, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"AN AMAZING FATHER AND A MAN WHO WAS DEEPLY LOVED."

Public Life After Prison

Blanchard, 34, became a household name after her 2024 release from prison, where she served time for her role in a plot to kill her abusive mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who had subjected her to years of medical child abuse. She has since built a public profile through a docuseries and social media, and has spoken openly about rebuilding her personal life, including her relationship with Urker and the birth of their daughter.

Urker's celebration of life drew family members from across the country, and Blanchard has indicated she intends to keep his memory present for Aurora as she grows up, including eventually passing along the ashes she was given.
