Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Takes Pre-Birth Paternity Test Amid Divorce

The test aims to confirm Ken Urker as the father, countering Louisiana's presumption that her estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, is the parent.

  • Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's decision to take a Noninvasive Prenatal Paternity test is unusual, as such tests are typically done post-birth.
  • Blanchard's ex-husband, Ryan Anderson, expressed confusion and disapproval over her decision to publicize the test results.
  • Louisiana law presumes that Anderson is the father since the divorce has not been finalized for 300 days before the child's birth.
  • The paternity test was non-invasive, using Blanchard's blood and a cheek swab from Ken Urker, her current partner.
  • Blanchard's attorney argues that the test was necessary to ensure Urker's name appears on the birth certificate, countering the legal presumption.
