Just three months after filing from divorce from her first post-lock-up love, Gypsy Rose announced that she’s expecting her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker.
“I’m happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant,” Gypsy revealed in a YouTube video on July 9. “Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025. We’re both very excited. This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected.”
She continued, “We’re both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood. I’ve already experienced the symptoms. When I first learned I was pregnant the first thing I noticed was the cravings.”
The reality star went on to explain that the first sign she may have been pregnant was her craving for orange juice.
“I didn’t think anything of it,” Blanchard admitted. “When I missed my period, I thought I was having issues with ovulation.”
But, now that she knows she’s expecting, Gypsy admits: “I have experienced crazy mood swings. Poor Ken. If he breathes wrong, I’m just like, ‘Ah.’ Pregnancy is not easy with the mood swings. He has been very gracious about it, he has been very forgiving, but good lord.”
Blanchard was serving time in prison for working with her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to kill her mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. The murder and the alleged abuse Gypsy endured from her mother were documented in Mommy Dead and Dearest.
During her time in jail, Ryan Anderson saw the documentary sent Gypsy a letter in 2020, and according to reports from People, they tied the knot two years later. Blanchard filed for divorce just a few months after her release and began dating Ken shortly after, who she was previously engaged to in 2018.
“There’s this tiny little life that is inside of you and that little tiny life is a baby, a little tiny human that’s yours and that you have to make sure you protect, you love, you take care of, and all of the things that I wished I could’ve had when I was little,” she said, per E! News. “Here I am getting emotional. I’m sorry.”
She continued, “All the things that I wanted in a mother, I’m going to give to this baby.”
