Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, is taking a DNA test to determine the paternity of her unborn child. This development comes after Blanchard, who was recently released from prison after serving seven years for the second-degree murder of her abusive mother, announced her pregnancy with her first child. Blanchard, 33, has since rekindled her relationship with ex-boyfriend Ken Urker, who is believed to be the father of her baby.
Anderson, who married Blanchard in July 2022 while she was still incarcerated, spoke about the situation during a TikTok livestream, expressing his discomfort with the paternity uncertainty. He mentioned that the timeline suggests he is not the father, but the DNA test will confirm it. Under Louisiana law, Anderson would be listed as the baby’s father if the child is born before their divorce is finalized, unless the paternity test proves otherwise.
The law, as explained by Louisiana attorney Beau Brock, is designed to ensure that every child has a father and a mother to provide for them. This presumption can be overturned by a DNA test, which is what Anderson is seeking to do. Meanwhile, Blanchard and Urker recently hosted a gender reveal party, announcing that they are expecting a baby girl, with Blanchard sharing her excitement on Instagram.
Blanchard’s journey, from her troubled past to her current pregnancy, continues to draw public attention. The outcome of the paternity test will determine the next steps for Anderson, Blanchard, and Urker as they navigate this complex situation.
