Gypsy Rose Blanchard and boyfriend Ken Urker will welcome their child early next year.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has announced she’s pregnant and will welcome her first child into the world early next year.
“I know the rumours have been flying around for quite some time now, and I’m happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant,” Blanchard, 32, said in a YouTube video shared on Tuesday, confirming that the dad is boyfriend Ken Urker.
She said the baby was “not planned,” but that she and Urker “are both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood.”
She also shared a series of maternity photos to Instagram at the same time, where the smiling couple showed off sonogram images and a tiny sweater to the camera.
Blanchard was released from prison in December 2023 after serving more than eight years behind bars for her role in the second-degree murder of her mother, Clauddine (Dee Dee) Blanchard.
In childhood, Dee Dee convinced her daughter and everyone else, including her doctors, that Blanchard had numerous chronic health problems, including leukemia, muscular dystrophy and brain damage.
It’s believed Dee Dee suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental health disorder that involves a caregiver projecting diagnoses or inducing symptoms in a dependent.
