Gypsy Rose Blanchard Announces Pregnancy with Boyfriend Ken Urker
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a figure known for her tumultuous past, has revealed that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Ken Urker. The announcement was made through a heartfelt video shared on YouTube where Blanchard expressed her excitement at starting a family.
In the video, Blanchard, now 32 years old, disclosed that she is 11 weeks pregnant and confirmed that the pregnancy was unexpected. She emphasized her eagerness to embrace parenthood with Urker despite the surprise nature of the news.
Addressing the complexities of her journey, Blanchard acknowledged that becoming a mother was not something she had planned for but stressed her readiness to take on the responsibilities that come with motherhood.
Blanchard’s life trajectory is marked by a tragic incident from her past involving her late mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. She had pleaded guilty to being involved in the murder of her mother, orchestrated with her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, in a case that drew widespread attention. Dee Dee was notorious for fabricating her daughter’s medical conditions.
Following her release from prison in late 2023, Blanchard has been navigating a series of significant life events, including the dissolution of her marriage to Ryan Anderson—whom she married while incarcerated—and the rekindling of her relationship with Urker.
Blanchard’s story has been the subject of intense media scrutiny and has been featured in documentary series, shedding light on the complexities of her past and the challenges she has faced after leaving prison.
