Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Kisses Boyfriend Ken Urker in New Photo Montage ArticlePure

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is celebrating her growing relationship with Ken Urker.

PEOPLE has exclusively learned that Urker moved to New Orleans to be closer to Blanchard, 32, on Monday, June 3. To honor their love story, Blanchard, posted a photo montage on Instagram and TikTok filled with snapshots of their time together.

The collage showed photos of Blanchard and her former fiancé enjoying the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in April, sharing a passionate kiss and spending time outdoors.

While Blanchard simply wrote “??” in the caption, she shared the photo collection on TikTok with Kelsey Hart’s “Life With You” playing in the background.

Urker’s move comes weeks after Blanchard’s stepmother, Kristy Blanchard, told PEOPLE that he had found a place in New Orleans and planned “to be with her soon.”

“Gypsy is so excited to have him closer,” she told PEOPLE in May. “A love like theirs comes once in a lifetime.”

Blanchard and Urker, who previously dated for two years between 2017 and 2019, were first spotted reconnecting in April, grabbing lunch and getting matching tattoos together.

The outing came after Blanchard announced her separation from her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson, in March and officially filed for divorce shortly after.

“Ken and I reconnected as friends,” Blanchard told PEOPLE in May. “It wasn’t like, jump out of a marriage and then let me meet up with you, and boom, we’re in a relationship. We had kept a friendship for the longest time. He was in a relationship. I was with Ryan, and so we were living different lives with respect to our partners, a ‘wish you the best’ type of thing.”

Blanchard described Urker as the person who supported her through her breakup with Anderson and the “emotional hardship of crying and then being okay and then crying” that came with it.

“I would say that Ken is my first love because that’s when I honestly felt like a mature love,” said Blanchard. “It wasn’t based off of a fantasy. It was actually based on a connection that two people have for each other.”

Blanchard also addressed their relationship during the second episode of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, in which she expressed that their initial breakup “devasted” her.

“Even though he was in the free world, and I was in prison, this was my first actual relationship that was long term. Right before we were going to get married, he ended the relationship. It devastated me. I think he pretty much gave me every breakup line the book,” she recalled.
