Transcript

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's fiancé Ken Urker was found dead and I need to talk to someone about this because I'm shook. This is going to be news that stirs the pot, that's for sure. Family sources are telling TMZ that Ken was found unresponsive on Thursday in Louisiana on his birthday, but apparently Gypsy wasn't with him. TMZ is reporting that Gypsy texted Ken happy birthday and didn't hear anything back and then a family member found him in a home of some sort. This is wild news. If you don't remember, Ken and Gypsy got together after she and her husband whom she married while in jail split. They have one daughter together. I know everyone is going to be saying Gypsy did it, Gypsy did it, but apparently they weren't even together physically, but I'm also wondering if they were together romantically. I'm sure more will come out in the days that follow.

Original caption

UPDATE: TMZ changed their wording to call Ken her baby daddy, and they were apparently broken up.
