Highlights
- Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson separated over his habit of food hoarding.
- Gypsy Rose's decision to clear out old their fridge sparked a major fight with Ryan.
- The two married in July 2022 while Gypsy was imprisoned for her role in her mother's murder.
The 32-year-old woman was reportedly "shaken" after realizing her decision had sparked such intense anger in her former partner.
Gypsy Rose wasn't aware of this behavior until she moved with Ryan into their two-bedroom apartment following her release from prison. The Munchausen by proxy victim said the hoarding habit reminded her of her late mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

Another factor contributing to their separation was Ryan's snoring. According to TMZ, Gypsy Rose told her loved ones that her ex is "kind of a human furnace—running very hot at night," while she prefers sleeping in a cold bed.
The pair tied the knot in July 2022 while Gypsy Rose was serving her eight-year sentence at Chillicothe Correctional Center in Ohio for her role in plotting her mother's killing.
She and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas "Nick" Godejohn, conspired to kill her mom in 2015 after the woman had subjected Gypsy Rose to painful and needless medical procedures for years.
It's believed that Gypsy Rose was a victim of Munchausen by proxy, a form of abuse in which a caretaker exaggerates or induces illness in a child for attention and sympathy.
She was granted parole and released from prison on December 28, 2023.

Ryan met Gypsy Rose after writing her a letter. As the 37-year-old told People, he decided to write to her after a colleague became interested in writing to "Tiger King" star Joseph Allen Maldonado, also known as Joe Exotic, in 2020.
"Tiger King was really popular at the time," Ryan recalled. "I said, 'I'll tell you what. If you write him, I'll write Gypsy Rose Blanchard.' I never thought she'd be my wife."
In March, the author of "Released: Conversations On The Eve Of Freedom" announced on Facebook that she would be separating from her husband.
"People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou.
"I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now, I need time to let myself find who I am," Gypsy Rose wrote.

On April 8, the same day she filed for divorce, she also sought a restraining order against Ryan. Three days later, Ryan also filed for a restraining order against her.
A court ruling is scheduled for May 23, People reports.
Following the split, Gypsy Rose has been seen holding hands with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker. The two even headed to a tattoo parlor to get matching tattoos of a husky.
Surprisingly, food hoarding and snoring aren't the silliest reasons to file for divorce.
Responding to the question, "What is the most petty reason someone has gotten a divorce?" a Reddit user described that their ex split up from someone because of her grandmother's astrological predictions.
As it turns out, the woman got a reading that said her third marriage would be the one that lasted, so she married and divorced twice quickly to get to the third man in her life.

Another user of the social media platform shared that a girl they knew initiated the divorce because her husband bought an Android phone.
"Her reasoning was that his old account was synced on their shared devices so she could see what he was up to, but now, with Android, he must be hiding something," they wrote.
