Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been invited to her on-again, off-again fiancé Ken Urker’s funeral by his family.
Urker’s relatives have extended an olive branch to the “Life After Lock Up” alum by inviting her ex’s funeral services in Texas, which is where Urker is from, family sources told TMZ.
Despite Urker’s sister claiming her family is “disgusted” with Blanchard for her public statement following his death, insiders told the outlet there is “no tension” between the reality star and her ex’s family.
Additionally, Urker’s parents don’t blame Blanchard for their son’s death and his mom, Raina, actually likes the convicted murderer.
Blanchard is reportedly “open” to attending the funeral but also wants to hold one in Louisiana for her family members who can’t attend the one in Texas.
On Saturday, Blanchard, 35, joined Urker’s family members for an intimate, private viewing honoring her late ex.
The “My Time to Stand” author, Urker’s mother, two of his sisters and his brother came together in Louisiana to pay their final respects, TMZ reported.
Blanchard and Urker’s 1-year-old daughter, Aurora, was also in attendance. However, the outlet reported that Urker’s sister Autumn was not present.

As Page Six previously reported, Urker was found unresponsive at a home in Louisiana on his 34th birthday on Oct. 1.
Urker was reportedly discovered by a family member after he didn’t respond when Blanchard texted him “happy birthday.”
After his passing, Blanchard spoke to TMZ, claiming Urker died from an overdose.
Page Six exclusively reported that Urker — who had quietly split from Blanchard a month before his death — was found with drugs, drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the time of his death.
Ken’s sister Autumn accused Blanchard of lying about the circumstances surrounding Ken’s death — specifically disputing claims that he was found only after he failed to respond to a text from her wishing him a happy birthday.
Blanchard replied to Autumn’s allegations, telling Us Weekly that they have had “significant tension” for a while.
After Urker’s death, Blanchard started an online petition to pass “Kenan’s Law” to fight online harassment.
“In honor of Ken, I am asking for your support for Kenan’s Law. 🤍,” she captioned an Instagram post Sunday.
“Before his passing, Ken experienced an overwhelming amount of online scrutiny and what we believed crossed the line into targeted harassment and cyberbullying,” Blanchard claimed.
