Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who gained notoriety for her involvement in the murder of her mother, was released from prison less than six months ago after serving seven years of a 10-year sentence. She married Ryan Scott Anderson, her then-husband, who had written her a letter while she was incarcerated. However, their whirlwind journey took a dark turn when Blanchard decided to pursue a divorce by June 2024. Anderson expressed surprise and confusion over the sudden change in their relationship, stating that he knew her better than anyone else in the world.
Blanchard’s past as a likely victim of her mother’s Munchausen syndrome by proxy was widely publicized in TV series and films. Her mother forced her to pretend to have various medical conditions, leading to Blanchard’s eventual plan to kill her. She met Anderson, a sixth grade social studies teacher, while in prison, and their relationship blossomed from there. The couple’s life outside the prison walls was documented in a Lifetime series called “Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up.”
The series captures the moments after Blanchard’s release, as she navigates newfound fame and social media attention almost overnight. However, the attention came with challenges, as paparazzi followed them and documented their every move. Anderson admitted to feeling overwhelmed by the sudden spotlight on their lives and the fast pace at which things progressed. Despite the ups and downs, he expressed love and support for Blanchard, even as she moved on to a new relationship with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker.
As the series continues to air, Anderson anticipates that viewers will gain insight into their relationship and come to their own conclusions. He remains focused on his teaching career and looks back on the filming experience without regrets. However, he acknowledges the challenges of going through a divorce with Blanchard and emphasizes that their love for each other was never the issue. The upcoming episodes promise to provide a deeper look into their marriage and the complexities of their relationship.
