Urker and Blanchard were previously engaged, but ended their relationship in 2019 before she married Anderson.

In April, theLife After Lock Upstar officiallyfiled for divorce from Anderson, and two months later,Urker moved to Louisianafrom Texas so the couple could continue their lives together.

During aYouTube Q&Ain late June, Blanchard opened up about her split from Anderson.

“I know it’s gonna sound [like] a really cheesy answer, but the truth is when I divorced Ryan, and filed for divorce and I followed my heart to true love,” she said.

After noting that she and Urker both came from divorced parents, she added, “When we have a child, we will stick together for the long haul. This is a forever thing because we don’t want our child to grow up in a broken home.”
