Gypsy Rose Blanchard attended a private viewing for her late ex-fiancé Ken Urker on Saturday at a Louisiana funeral home, bringing their daughter Aurora, who is not yet two. Aurora spotted her father and called out "Daddy" during the emotionally charged gathering. Urker's mother, brother and two of his sisters were present, but his sister Autumn — who has accused Blanchard of fabricating details about his death — stayed away despite reportedly being in Louisiana at the time.

Urker, 34, was found unresponsive at a Louisiana home on his birthday, October 1, after he failed to reply to a 'happy birthday' text from Blanchard.

Blanchard dressed in black and wore a necklace Urker had given her for their second anniversary; she was also given a private farewell with him before the viewing ended.

Autumn has claimed Ken's family was 'disgusted' by Blanchard's public statements following his death, with Blanchard saying she believes he died of a suspected overdose.
