It’s no secret that Gypsy Rose Blanchard had several romances in prison, but did you know that one included an engagement? And no, we’re not talking about her engagement to Ryan Anderson. Gypsy was engaged to another man named Ken while in prison.
Like Anderson, Ken wrote to Gypsy after seeing a documentary of her life story, per E! News. Gypsy said, “We became fast friends. It was pretty soon after that that we started talking on the phone…I talked to him like I had known him my whole life and vice versa.” The two continued their relationship while she was in prison and even got the approval of her father, Rod Blanchard, and her stepmom, Kristy Blanchard. Eventually, Ken proposed. Gypsy recalled the proposal, sharing, “So, on the October visit he held my hands close and told me how much I meant to him and he’s like, ‘I would really, really be honored if I could have your hand in marriage,’ and I said yes.” Seems eerily similar to Anderson, but she and Ken eventually called it quits.
Despite their breakup, it didn’t stop Gypsy from contacting Ken weeks before her wedding to Anderson, per People. During her docuseries, “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard,” the public figure admitted she had doubts about tying the knot with Anderson and gave her ex a call. This caused tension between Gypsy and Anderson, but the couple overcame the hiccup and tied the knot.
