On August 28, 2019, news broke that Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the 27-year-old woman who inspired Hulu's hit show The Act, had ended her engagement to Ken, whom she met through a prison pen pal program.
Blanchard is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee. The couple had planned to get married in January while Blanchard was still in prison, but they have now cancelled those plans.
According to a source, both Blanchard and Ken are 'brokenhearted' over the situation and still have 'nothing but love for each other.' They each intend on taking some time apart to focus on themselves as individuals.
