After her marriage to Anderson ended, Blanchard noted that Uker was her support system. It was then that she realized that rekindling the friendship wasn’t a bad idea. At least, she knew that would allow her to satisfy her desire to reconnect with him, as they hadn’t had the opportunity to spend time together outside of prison.
According to Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Uker was her first mature love. Their relationship wasn’t based on fantasy but on a natural bond between two people. In May, Blanchard’s stepmother, Kristy Blanchard, revealed that Urker was planning to move to Louisiana to be with Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
Kristy admitted that she had encouraged the reunion, taking responsibility for bringing them back together. She noted that she was happy for her step-daughter, believing she would finally get her “happily ever after” with Urker.
Kristy shared that Gypsy Rose Blanchard was thrilled about Urker’s move to New Orleans, looking forward to having him closer and cherishing their love.
