Pregnant Gypsy Rose Blanchard and estranged husband Ryan Anderson are one step closer to finalizing their divorce, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm. And in a twist, Us Weekly can reveal Anderson also filed for divorce from his felon-turned-social media star wife just days after she called it quits on their two-year marriage.
The pair reached a “consent judgment” on Monday, August 5, filing paperwork in Louisiana. According to the documents obtained by Us, the exes have agreed to dismiss all claims for any spousal support that a judge signed off on the following day.
When it comes to their community property, both parties must submit their lists to the court by August 31. And as part of the consent judgment, Anderson will dismiss his petition for divorce filed on April 11, just three days after Blanchard filed her paperwork in another county.
In his filing Anderson stated that “he does not wish to be divorced” but chose to file out of “concerns” over his community property rights.

During her prison stay, Gypsy Rose got engaged to Urker, but the pair eventually split. She moved on with Anderson, whom she wed in 2022. The pair called it quits in April and three months later she announced she is pregnant with her first baby.
