Gypsy Rose Blanchard Announces Pregnancy: A New Chapter in the Life of the Woman Once at the Center of Tabloid Fascination

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the subject of widespread media attention following her role in her mother's death and subsequent prison sentence, announced on July 9, 2024 that she is pregnant with her first child. The news was shared via social media platforms YouTube and Instagram.

Blanchard spent much of her childhood believing she had various medical ailments due to Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a condition in which a caregiver feigns or exaggerates illnesses in someone to elicit attention or sympathy. Her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, was found stabbed to death in their home near Springfield, Missouri in 2015. Gypsy Rose Blanchard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role in her mother's death.

Since her release from prison, Blanchard has gained a significant following on social media platforms where she has documented her personal life. She previously married Louisiana teacher Ryan Anderson but they divorced in March 2023. She then rekindled her relationship with Ken Urker and the two are now expecting their first child together.

Blanchard expressed excitement about the upcoming birth, stating that she is focused on protecting and caring for her baby. She also shared that she has experienced various pregnancy symptoms but has not had significant morning sickness.

The news of Blanchard's pregnancy comes after a series of high-profile documentaries and media coverage surrounding her life story. The young woman, who was once the subject of tabloid fascination, is now looking forward to starting a new chapter in her life as a mother.
