Gypsy Rose Blanchard was repeatedly invited by her family to the funeral of her fiance, Ken Urker.
Urker’s relatives extended an olive branch to the “Life After Lock Up” alum by inviting him to his ex-girlfriend’s funeral in Texas, where Urker is from, family sources told TMZ.
Although Urker’s sister claimed that her family was “disgusted” with Blanchard for her public statement following her death, insiders told the news channel that there was “no tension” between the reality star and her ex’s family.
Also, Urker’s parents do not blame Blanchard for their son’s death, and his mother Raina actually likes the convicted murderer.
Blanchard is reportedly “open” to attending the funeral, but also wants to hold a funeral in Louisiana for family members who cannot attend the funeral in Texas.
On Saturday, Blanchard, 35, joined Urker’s family members for an intimate and private viewing in memory of her late ex.
According to TMZ, “My Time to Stand” author Urker’s mother, two sisters and brother gathered in Louisiana to pay their final respects.
Blanchard and Urker’s 1-year-old daughter Aurora also attended the ceremony. However, the news reported that Urker’s sister Autumn was not there.
As Page Six previously reported, Urker was found unresponsive in a Louisiana home on his 34th birthday on October 1.
Urker was reportedly discovered by a family member after Blanchard did not respond to a “happy birthday” message to him.
Following his death, Blanchard spoke to TMZ and claimed that Urker died of an overdose.
Page Six exclusively reported that Urker, who quietly separated from Blanchard a month before her death, was found with drugs, drug paraphernalia and a gun at the time of his death.
Ken’s sister Autumn accused Blanchard of lying about the circumstances surrounding Ken’s death; He particularly disputed claims that she was only found because she did not respond to a message wishing him a happy birthday.
Blanchard responded to Autumn’s claims, telling Us Weekly that they’ve been experiencing “serious tension” for a while.
Following Urker’s death, Blanchard started an online petition to introduce “Canaan’s Law” to combat online harassment.
“In honor of Ken, I’m asking for your support for Kenan’s Law. 🤍,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday.
“Ken was subject to intense online scrutiny before he passed away, and we believe the targeted harassment and cyberbullying crossed the line,” Blanchard said.
