Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s story captured the world’s attention when she was convicted of killing her mother. The shocking details of the trial kept people captivated for a long time. But now, Blanchard is looking to move on and start anew.
After getting married to Ryan Anderson while in prison, Blanchard recently filed for a restraining order against him. She also decided that their one-year marriage would be dissolved once she was released. This surprising move has raised eyebrows and sparked curiosity.
Blanchard’s decision to seek a restraining order comes alongside her request for a divorce from Anderson. In court records, she states that she needs assistance and believes that he has the means to provide it. However, she firmly asserts that she is not responsible for the breakdown of their marriage and does not want any spousal support from him.
To share the news of her separation, Blanchard turned to a private Facebook group. The court clerk confirmed that the filing has been submitted to the judge for review and potential scheduling of hearings.
It is worth noting that Blanchard and Anderson separated just three months after her release from the Missouri jail, where she had spent over eight years for her involvement in her mother’s death. She expressed her current living situation, saying, “Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation, and I moved back to my parents’ home down the bayou. I have the support of my family and friends to guide me through this transitional period as I discover myself.”
Blanchard and Anderson’s relationship began in 2020 when he sent her letters while she was in prison. They found common ground in their similar upbringings and ultimately became friends who decided to tie the knot. Despite being married for over a year, Blanchard felt that they were only just beginning to truly know each other after her release. She even playfully mentioned reminding him to put the toilet seat down in their early days of marriage.
While Blanchard seeks a fresh start, the news of the restraining order and her request for support has garnered mixed reactions. Some people express dissatisfaction, suggesting that she has inherited negative traits from her past. Nonetheless, Blanchard looks forward to rediscovering herself and embracing a new chapter in her life.
