Gypsy Rose Blanchard Welcomes A Baby Girl, Aurora Raina, With Boyfriend Ken Urker

The child’s birth landed on the one-year anniversary of Blanchard being released from prison.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and boyfriend Ken Urker rang in 2025 by announcing the arrival of their first child, daughter Aurora Raina.

Urker confirmed the child’s birth with an Instagram post on the morning of New Year’s Day.

“Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all,” he wrote alongside a photo showing him and Blanchard in a hospital room with their newborn daughter.

The baby’s name was confirmed by People early Wednesday. In an interview with the outlet published last month, Blanchard dismissed the notion that the name was inspired by Princess Aurora, the heroine of Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty,” or her stepmother’s dog, who happens to be named Aurora Grace.

“Back whenever Ken and I were together seven years ago, both of us have a fascination with the Northern Lights, and the proper term is the Aurora Borealis,” she explained. “I think it was maybe in 2018, we wrote each other’s future kid’s name on pieces of paper and Aurora is what we both picked without even knowing each other was picking it.”
