Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s dad, Rod Blanchard, is reportedly “not surprised” at her split from her husband Ryan Anderson just three months after her release from prison.

In an interview with PEOPLE, he revealed he only gave their relationship a “50/50 chance” that it was going to work. He said: “Personally, I give it a 50/50 chance that it’s going to work. She can be spontaneous and make a quick decision and just jump into things without thinking.”

Gypsy Rose announced the split on a private Facebook account to her friends and family. She wrote: “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.”

Rod also spoke about how he thought Gypsy Rose and Ryan were too quick to move in together after she left prison. Speaking before their split, he said: “I wish she would have come home here and when her being on parole was over, live with him, just live with him, learn him,” he said. “She’s grown, and she was told what to do all her life.

“We wish she wouldn’t have, but like I told her, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll be there to help pick up the pieces. I really do hope it does work out. Ryan’s a great guy. He loves her for all the right reasons.”
