Gypsy Rose Blanchard announces she is pregnant with boyfriend Ken Urker months after prison release

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is pregnant with her first child, she has announced.

The 32-year-old and her boyfriend Ken Urker, 31, shared the news on her.

I am 11 weeks pregnant,’ she said on the video. ‘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.’

Blanchard announced her separation from husband Ryan Scott Anderson in March, and said she was back with Urker the following month.

The Munchausen by proxy victim was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri in December, 2023, after serving the mandatory seven years of her 10-year sentence for conspiring to kill her mother, Dee Dee.

Blanchard teared up in her video as she said she hopes to give her child ‘all the things she wished she could have had when she was little.’
She also shared she has been experiencing ‘crazy mood swings.’

Blanchard and her estranged husband Anderson married while she was in prison but their relationship fell apart just weeks after her release.

Anderson told DailyMail.com he was blindsided by Blanchard’s request for a divorce, and blamed it on her relationship with Urker.

‘I’m not doing well with it. For me it just came out of the blue,’ he said.
‘I had no idea she still had such strong feelings for him,’ he added, referring to Blanchard’s ex-fiancé Urker.
At first, following her separation from Anderson, Blanchard insisted Urker was just a friend and there was ‘no intimacy.’

While behind bars, Gypsy further cultivated a relationship with Urker, who struck up a dialogue with the then-prisoner in 2019 through a ‘letter of support’ he penned after watching HBO documentary Mommy Dead And Dearest.

They then became pen pals, which gave way to a romantic relationship. The two were even briefly engaged before things fizzled out.

In 2020, Blanchard found a second romantic prospect in Anderson, who, like Ken, wrote to her while she was in prison.

The two went on to tie the knot in a private ceremony that took place in the confines prison in 2022 before their separation in March.

Blanchard’s traumatic childhood and early adulthood has been fodder for documentaries, movies, books and countless magazine, newspaper and online articles.
