Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s father had reservations about her ‘impromptu’ marriage to Ryan Scott Anderson prior to separation.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s father isn’t shocked over her reported split from her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson.
In a December 2023 interview with People ahead of his daughter’s release from prison, Rod Blanchard admitted he wasn’t so sure her and Anderson’s union would last.
“Personally, I give it a 50/50 chance that it’s going to work,” he told the publication. “She can be spontaneous and make a quick decision and just jump into things without thinking.”
He theorized the 32-year-old ex-con would fare best if she took things slowly as she adjusted to life outside her prison cell, including her relationship with Anderson.
“I wish she would have come home here and when her being on parole was over, live with him, just live with him, learn him,” he explained.
“She’s grown, and she was told what to do all her life. We wish she wouldn’t have, but like I told her, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll be there to help pick up the pieces.”
“I really do hope it does work out,” he added. “Ryan’s a great guy. He loves her for all the right reasons.”
The couple reportedly called it quits about three months after the special education teacher picked Gypsy up from the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri when she was released.
“People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved to my parents’ home down the bayou,” she reportedly wrote on Facebook Thursday.
After thanking her family and friends for their “support,” she concluded, “I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am.”
The estranged couple met in 2020 after Anderson sent her a letter while she was serving her 10-year sentence for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. They tied the knot in 2022.
The pair seemed happy in January at Lifetime’s “Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard” premiere, where they made their red carpet debut.
Ahead of their big night, Gypsy made headlines for bragging about their sex life to get back at haters.
“Ryan, don’t listen to the haters. I love you, and you love me,” she wrote in an Instagram comment on his page. “We do not owe anyone anything. Our family is what matters. … I love you💕.”
“besides,” she playfully continued, “they [are] jealous because you are rocking my world every night…yeah I said it, the D is fire🔥.”
Gypsy served seven years of her sentence for plotting her mother’s 2015 murder with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.
The star, who recently deleted her public social media accounts, was verbally, mentally and physically abused by her mom throughout her entire childhood.
Dee Dee suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which caused her to seek sympathy from others by pretending Gypsy had cancer, muscular dystrophy, and more.
Gypsy’s troubling story inspired the HBO documentary “Mommy Dead and Dearest” and the hit Hulu series “The Act.”

Olivia Munn opens up about her decision to have a full hysterectomy during breast cancer fight: ‘It was the right choice for me’
Olivia Munn, the talented actress and mother, recently shared the news of her decision to undergo a full hysterectomy amidst her battle with breast cancer. In a heartfelt interview with Vogue, Olivia opened up about her journey and the difficult choices she has had to make for the sake of her health and family.
Olivia explained that her doctor recommended the hysterectomy as a way to stop the production of estrogen in her body, which luminal B breast cancer feeds on. She described the decision as the best one for her, emphasizing that she needed to be present for her family, especially her son, Malcolm, whom she welcomed with partner John Mulaney in November 2021.
This surgery marked Olivia’s fifth in her cancer journey, adding to a series of other procedures she had previously undergone, including a double mastectomy, lymph node dissection, reconstructive surgery, and a nipple delay. Before opting for the hysterectomy, Olivia had been taking medication that left her bedridden due to severe side effects.
In the interview, Olivia also shared that she had frozen her eggs for the third time, hoping to expand her family in the future. Despite the challenges she has faced, Olivia expressed her gratitude to her loved ones for their unwavering support throughout her battle with cancer. She credited her family, friends, and partner John Mulaney for being her pillars of strength during this trying time.
Olivia’s journey began when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, despite testing negative for the BRCA gene and receiving a clear mammogram. Her doctor calculated her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score to be at 37 percent, leading to the discovery of luminal B cancer in both breasts, an aggressive and fast-moving form of the disease.
Throughout it all, Olivia has remained resilient and determined to fight for her health and future. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection, proactive healthcare choices, and the power of love and support in facing life’s toughest challenges.
As Olivia continues on her journey towards recovery, she inspires others with her strength, courage, and vulnerability. Her story is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to triumph over adversity and find hope in the darkest of times. Olivia Munn’s decision to undergo a hysterectomy was not just a medical choice; it was a declaration of her unwavering commitment to life, love, and the future.
