Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Estranged Husband Ryan Scott Anderson Thinks ‘Outside Influences’ Led to Split

Gypsy Rose Blanchard ’s estranged husband, Ryan Scott Anderson , is breaking down what he thinks led to their split.

"I have some ideas," Anderson, 37, told E! News on Thursday, June 6. "Personally, I think outside influences got involved. And I don't want to pinpoint it yet, because I'm still processing, but I'd go to work and then her mind would just run rampant. And I'm still trying to figure out, how did it happen so fast?"

In Anderson’s mind, those close to Blanchard, 32, altered the course of their relationship. "I mean people in her inner circle, things like that got in her head," he explained. "It just turned it."

For Anderson, the speed of the breakup was surprising. "That's my thing, when I say I'm blindsided — really, I'm blindsided about how fast things occur,” he said. “It's like a snowball and I haven't been able to stop it. It's just one of those where it's gonna continue to roll."

Blanchard and Anderson tied the knot in 2022 while she was still in prison. (Gypsy went to prison for her role in the 2015 murder of her mom, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard .)

In April, she filed for divorce from him, and days later, she filed for a restraining order against him. Gypsy clarified exclusively to Us Weekly in May that the restraining order is based solely on finances, and is not a no-contact order.

Following her split from Anderson, Gypsy rekindled her romance with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker — but she told Us that he “honestly wasn’t” the reason she filed to dissolve her marriage from Anderson.

“It was, I think, an insecurity that was there for a very long time,” she said in May. “I called Ken two weeks before I got married. Ken has consistently been brought up in a way that I can never let go of my feelings, but I put them on the back burner to do what was best for my marriage. And so, having that be a point of contention has been a thread throughout, but I didn’t leave Ryan for Ken. That was just sort of a realization [of], ‘Hey, we still love each other after the fact.’”
