A Look Back At Ken And Gypsy’s Relationship
Gypsy and Ken’s relationship has a long and complicated history. They first met while she was still incarcerated, and their relationship blossomed while she served time for her involvement in the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
“We have a long history. So, we first dated back in 2017 for two years … We have a two-year history under our belt,” Gypsy shared on “Radio Andy’s Andy Cohen Live.” “We separated for four and a half years, and then I got married and moved on … I married Ryan. And then I came out [of prison] and just realized that it was not the marriage that I wanted. And so, I filed for divorce and then reconnected with Ken. And a month later we got pregnant. It’s kind of been a journey.”
