Gypsy Rose Blanchard is going to be a mother! The internet sensation rose to fame after being convicted for the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who subjected her to medical child abuse. However, since being paroled in December 2023, Gypsy Rose has focused on turning her life around. That includes finding love and starting a family.
Just three months after reconnecting with her former fiance, Ken Urker, the lovebirds are welcoming their first child together. Gypsy broke the exciting news on Instagram with a collage of maternity photos. Although her bump wasn’t so visible, the 32-year-old activist and her boyfriend held a sonogram and a cute baby sweater. “We are proud to announce we are expecting our first child in January 2025💗,” she gushed in the accompanying caption.
In a nine-minute YouTube vlog, Gypsy detailed her pregnancy and confessed that it “wasn’t planned at all.” Admitting that the pregnancy speculations are true, she revealed that she is 11 weeks pregnant.
Gypsy, who said she and Urker are “very excited” about the journey, talked about her weird cravings. “The first thing that I noticed was the cravings. So, I craved orange juice,” she explained. She also praised her partner for handling her intense mood swings, calling him “very gracious” and “very forgiving.” The Louisana native noted that pregnancy has been a “breeze” so far, with no morning sickness.
Fans Enraged Over Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s Pregnancy News
Despite Gyspy and Urker being over the moon for their newest addition, fans don’t seem to share in their joy. Many expressed that the social media personality was moving too fast. “Didn’t your sister educate you about the morning-after pill? Girl, congrats, but damn, you move quick,” remarked one fan, while another penned, “Gypsy, you should have waited 😢 you’ve been on lockdown all your life. A baby is a blessing but you won’t have freedom.“
Others, however, believed it was a great move for Gypsy to welcome a child. One fan expressed, “All you people telling her she should’ve waited, lol. She’s been held back and told what to do with her life literally forever, and she’s finally doing things her way. At her pace.” Another similar comment read, “Congratulations Gypsy! You deserve all the happiness this life has to offer after everything you endured.”
Regardless of fans’ feelings, Gypsy Rose seems thrilled to become a mother and that is all that matters.
