Gypsy Rose Blanchard files for divorce, restraining order

Gypsy Rose Blanchard filed for divorce from her husband, Ryan Anderson, just three months after moving in with him and has since moved in with her parents. Court TV obtained a copy of the divorce petition, which was filed by Blanchard after legally changing her last name upon marrying Anderson. Blanchard was serving time in prison for the murder of her mother and was released on Dec. 28, 2023, after serving less than 10 years.

The divorce petition lists the couple’s wedding date as July 21, 2022, and indicates that they were married in Livingston County, Missouri, close to the Chillicothe Correctional Center where Blanchard was incarcerated. The filing states that the couple separated on March 25 and have lived separately since then. Blanchard made an announcement about the split on her private Facebook page, revealing her decision to move in with her parents.

In the divorce filing, Blanchard asserts that the couple has no children and she is not pregnant. She has requested the court to order Ryan to pay her spousal support, citing her need and Ryan’s ability to pay, with her not being at fault for the dissolution of the marriage. The petition also states that Ryan is not entitled to final spousal support due to being at fault in the marriage’s dissolution, although it does not provide details on the reasons for the split.

Blanchard also requested a restraining order in her filing, which was granted by the court. The restraining order focuses on financial matters and prohibits either party from hiding or disposing of assets before the case is resolved. The couple’s assets remain unclear at this time.

Before her release from prison, Blanchard self-published a memoir titled “Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom” and was the subject of the Lifetime docuseries “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.” Despite initially being active on social media after her release, Blanchard deleted all her public accounts before filing for divorce.

Recent reports indicate that Blanchard has been seen with her ex-fiancé, with whom she shares matching tattoos. The reasons behind the split from Anderson and Blanchard’s reconnecting with her ex-fiancé are still unclear.

The developments in the divorce of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson continue to unfold as the legal process moves forward. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
