Reality star Gypsy Rose Blanchard is gearing up for motherhood. The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star took to social media today to reveal that she is pregnant with her first baby with her boyfriend Ken Urker. “We are proud to announce we are expecting our first child in January 2025.”
Gypsy, who stepped into the spotlight after years of being a victim to Munchausen syndrome by proxy that led to her playing a role in the murder of her mom Dee Dee in 2015, shared a video to her YouTube to announce that she would become a mother. In her video, titled “I’m Pregnant, My Journey So Far,” the reality star shared, “I know the rumors have been flying around for quite some time now and I’m happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant.”
After sharing that she and Ken would welcome their baby in January 2025, she revealed, “This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected, but we’re both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood.” The reality star addressed concerns she felt her followers might have about her news sharing, “I know that there are going to be people who feel like I’m not ready to be a mother and I don’t know if anyone’s really ready to be a mother.” On becoming a mom herself, Gypsy shared, “All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby. I am a mother now, I am happy, and I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn’t.”
The couple first met as pen pals while Gypsy was serving a sentence for her role in her mother’s murder. Ken proposed to Gypsy in 2018 but their relationship didn’t last. While incarcerated, Gypsy married another pen pal, Ryan Anderson, in prison and the two were still wed following her release in 2023. However, their marriage did survive long after her release and she revealed in May that she had rekindled her romance with Ken. Of their relationship, Gypsy has shared, “I would say that Ken is my first love because that’s when I honestly felt like a mature love. It wasn’t based off of a fantasy. It was actually based on a connection that two people have for each other.”
Congratulations to Gypsy and Ken on the news of their baby. We wish them all the best as they prepare for parenthood.
