Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s ex-husband reveals what led to their separation
Their short-lived marriage has ended, and he's shared the reason why
Gypsy Rose Blanchard and husband Ryan Anderson have split after two years, with Ryan now explaining why the couple called time on their short-lived romance.
The couple met whilst Gypsy was serving time in prison for the murder of her mother, with the couple later marrying but spending the first year of their marriage apart whilst Gypsy was still behind bars.
She was released in December last year after serving 85 percent of her 10 year sentence, and lived with Ryan before the couple split in March.

Now, soon to be ex-husband Ryan has explained why he thinks their marriage ended.
Speaking to E! News presenter Francesca Amiker, he said: "I have some ideas. 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?"
He continued: "That's my thing, when I say I'm blindsided—really, I'm blindsided about how fast things occur. 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."
He also explained that he believes people outside their marriage got into Gypsy's head as he added: "I mean, people in her inner circle, things like that got in her head. It just turned it."
The couple wed in July 2022 in a jailhouse ceremony as Gypsy finished her sentence for her part in the murder of her mother, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, who abused the now 32-year-old and made her and others believe she was sick with multiple illnesses.
The couple's romance was filmed as part of TV series Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, which documents her life after serving her time in jail.
For Ryan, who was thrust into the spotlight due to his marriage to Gypsy, being in the public eye took some adjustment. He explained: "There's a lot to process, it's weird watching yourself on TV. I'm not used to that. It's new."
Gypsy filed for divorce in April alongside a temporary restraining order against Ryan.
Since the news of their split emerged, Ryan has been flooded with support from fans and viewers of the TV show.
He thanked them for their support as he said: "It's amazing to see the love and support I get, just being myself. I'm just a genuine person.
"I fell in love with Gypsy, that's the only thing about me. So it's cool to see the support."
