Gypsy Rose Blanchard recently split from her husband, Ryan Anderson, but that hasn’t stopped her from getting a matching tattoo with another man – her ex-fiance, Ken Urker. According to TMZ, Gypsy was seen in a tattoo shop called Sailor Bob’s Tattoo Shop, which is located in Cut Off, Louisiana. She wasn’t alone.
She was with a man, and they were both getting tattoos together. There are photos of the man sitting in a tattoo chair with Gypsy watching the process.

TMZ talked with the witnesses in the shop who said that Gyspy and the man, who was later identified as Ken, came to the shop around 3 PM. They knew exactly what they wanted done, too, which suggests they had been planning the tattoo.
They ended up getting matching Husky dogs. The tattoo artist put one Husky on the left arm and the other Husky on the other person’s right arm. The idea is that when they put their arms together, the two Huskies face each other.
Gypsy and Ken chose a pair of Huskies because they believe it symbolizes the strong bond they have together. The two didn’t display any affection toward each other and seemed platonic.
Ken’s Family is Supportive of Gypsy Rose
Ken’s mother, Raina Williams, told People Magazine that the two are just friends right now. She said that following Gypsy’s announcement that she had separated from Ryan, Ken was there to give her some support. They had lunch together before going to the tattoo parlor.
She also said that Gypsy was a sweet girl who made mistakes, but she recognized and saw that Gypsy had learned from them and was doing a lot better. There’s a lot of speculation going around as to whether Gypsy and Ken are truly just friends, and there’s a good reason for it, too. They were once engaged to be married.
Ken first heard about Gypsy after watching the documentary, Mommy Dead and Dearest, which covered her story. His whole family felt sympathetic toward Gypsy, so he decided to write her a letter. She wrote back, and they formed a pen pal relationship.
Eventually, they started to confide in each other and developed feelings. He visited her in jail and one day proposed to her.
As Gypsy’s fame began to grow, however, Ken started to get cold feet. He didn’t want to live with so much publicity surrounding them. So, he broke up with her.
Gypsy would later go on to meet and marry Ryan, who had also watched the documentary and wrote to her. The two ended up getting married while Gypsy was in jail, and she moved in with him after she was released.
At first, their marriage was going strong, but eventually, jealousy and old feelings drew them apart. Gypsy had continued her contact with Ken, which Ryan didn’t like. Gypsy had also admitted that she still had feelings for Ken.
It all came to a head with the couple separating and filing for divorce. With Ken back in Gypsy’s life, and the two getting matching tattoos, fans will have to wait and see if they start up a romantic relationship again.
