Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s bitter feud with her late partner’s sister appears to have followed her to his memorial service. Tensions between the reality star and Autumn Urker reportedly spilled over into a memorial gathering held in honor of Ken Urker, weeks after his sudden passing.
The reported encounter comes weeks after Gypsy and Autumn Urker exchanged harsh accusations following Ken’s death. The two women have publicly clashed over their relationships with him, with Gypsy accusing Autumn of disrespecting her brother’s memory.
Despite the family drama, Gypsy attended the memorial with her daughter, Aurora, and delivered a speech honoring Ken. An unexpected development, however, has raised fresh questions about her ongoing feud with Autumn.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reportedly Leaves Memorial After Ken Urker’s Sister Arrives
According to TMZ, Gypsy attended Ken’s celebration of life in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, November 7. The gathering brought together around 30 of his closest friends and family members.
The reality star arrived with her daughter, Aurora, and her stepmother, Kristy. She joined the other mourners as they remembered Ken, who died suddenly on October 1.
However, the gathering reportedly took an unexpected turn when Autumn arrived. Family sources told the outlet that Gypsy left the memorial shortly after Ken’s sister showed up.
According to family sources, Gypsy had briefly stepped away to change Aurora’s diaper and noticed Autumn when she returned. Rather than risk an awkward confrontation, she informed Ken’s relatives she was leaving, which they had no issue with. The timing was immediately notable because both women have been involved in a bitter public dispute.

Before leaving the ceremony, Gypsy reportedly took part in the memorial service and delivered a speech about her late partner. The celebration also featured a slideshow honoring his life, as friends and relatives gathered to share memories of the 34-year-old.
The memorial marked another public farewell for Gypsy, who previously attended a private viewing of Ken’s body in Louisiana. An earlier report revealed that she was joined by Aurora and several members of Ken’s family at the viewing.
Sources claimed that Aurora recognized her father and called him “Daddy.” Gypsy also reportedly spent some private time saying goodbye to Ken. Autumn, who was reportedly in Louisiana at the time, did not attend that gathering.

The tension between Gypsy and Autumn became public shortly after Ken’s death. In an emotional TikTok livestream, Autumn accused Gypsy of lying about her relationship with Ken. She also made a controversial reference to Gypsy’s late mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
Gypsy later fired back in a video posted on October 13, where she accused Autumn of treating Ken poorly while he was alive and then presenting herself as a loving sister after his death. She also claimed Autumn had opposed their relationship from the beginning.
The reality star also alleged that Autumn spent months publicly criticizing her brother and, according to Gypsy, Ken had even discussed his sister’s behavior during one of their final conversations.

According to TMZ, family sources insisted that the tension was largely limited to Autumn. They claimed Ken’s mother, Raina, liked Gypsy and did not blame her for her son’s death. The sources also said other relatives had welcomed Gypsy during their time of mourning.
