Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s Fiancé Ben Urker Dies at 34

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s fiancé, Ben Urker, has tragically died at the age of 34.

According to People, Urker was reportedly found unconscious inside his Louisiana home by a family member on October 1, which was also his birthday. The news of his death was first reported by TMZ.

On his birthday, Blanchard sent Urker a “happy birthday” message, but he did not respond. Later, Blanchard’s brother Dylan and his wife went to check on Urker and found him unresponsive.

Urker’s sister Autumn also confirmed his death during a TikTok live. She revealed that his last words to her were, “I love you.”

Blanchard and Urker share a daughter, Aurora Raina, who was born in December 2024.

The couple first met in 2018 while Blanchard was in custody for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. They dated on and off over the following years.

During one of their separations, Blanchard married Ryan Anderson, but the two later parted ways. She and Urker eventually rekindled their romance in 2024 and continued their relationship until his tragic death.
