From Victim to Mom: Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s Surprising New Chapter!

BBG News

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has given fans a glimpse into her new life as a mother.

33-year-old victim of Munchausen-by-proxy, freshly a mother with her partner Ken Urker, is skipping over the parenting guidebook titled “What to Expect in the First Year” by Heidi Murkoff.

She held the bestseller in a snap posted to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.

‘Leaning into motherhood in 2025,’ she wrote with a baby emoji.

On December 28th, Gypsy and Ken happily welcomed their newborn girl, Aurora Urker, a year after her release from prison, according to TMZ’s reports.

‘Aurora is healthy and we are so happy,’ Ken told the publication. 

On December 28, 2023, Gypsy gained freedom from imprisonment, having completed a seven-year sentence for her involvement in the homicide of her abusive mother, Claudine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard, to whom she was previously confined.

In my youth, I pretended to be confined to a wheelchair, disguising myself as an ill individual, all under the influence of my mother Dee Dee who manipulated my appearance with shaved hair, administered medications, and orchestrated a deception that fooled the world into believing I was battling leukemia and muscular dystrophy.

The unbreakable connection between them came to an end when Gypsy managed to escape the control of her abusive mother in 2015 by allowing Nicholas Godejohn, who had fallen deeply for her, to enter their Springfield, Missouri residence and fatally stab Dee Dee.

After admitting her guilt for second-degree murder, she served close to a decade in prison. Last December, she was given early parole and freed from incarceration.

During her time in prison, she developed a connection with Ken when he wrote her a letter; they began exchanging letters, and their relationship quickly evolved into something romantic, culminating in his proposal in the year 2018.

However, following the airing of the Hulu series The Act, featuring Joey King portraying Gypsy and Patricia Arquette as her mother, a few months later, Gypsy revealed in her memoir that the sudden media focus was too much for Ken to handle.

They ultimately split and she moved on with Ryan Scott Anderson, and they wed in July 2022.

Ryan stood beside her as she gained her freedom, yet only three months passed before word spread across the internet that they had parted ways.

Following this development, it became known that Gypsy had made up with her former partner, Ken; later, she disclosed that they were anticipating a child in July.

In that YouTube video, Gypsy discussed how her traumatic childhood experiences might influence her perspective on being a parent.

She expressed, “Every aspect of the ideal mother I aspire for myself, I hope to provide for this child. In essence, I yearn to be a nurturing parent who fills the gaps left by my own upbringing.

As an ardent admirer putting words to my feelings, I’d say, “Gypsy shared that this pregnancy unexpectedly granted her a sense of liberation. It’s as if it opened doors I never knew existed for her. Moreover, she found a profound tranquility concerning everything that has transpired in her life before – a serenity that’s truly captivating.

She said, “Everything that happened led me to become the person I am today.” Or alternatively, “All my experiences brought me to where I stand right now.

Last month, Gypsy opened up to People about the ‘backstory’ behind her baby’s name.

She shared, “That idea is Ken’s. It has an interesting history behind it.” Some folks speculate that it might be linked to the Disney Princess.

She mentioned that some believe her step-mother names her dog Aurora Grace as the reason, but clarified, “That’s not the case.

Instead, Aurora was selected because of the couple’s shared love of the Northern Lights.

‘Seven years ago, when Ken and I were together, we shared a mutual interest in the Northern Lights, which are more accurately known as the Aurora Borealis, as she reminisced about her relationship with Urker during her captivity.’

In approximately 2018, we each wrote potential names for our future child on separate slips of paper. Remarkably, both of us selected the name Aurora, unaware that the other person was making the same choice.

As a devoted admirer putting this into my own words, I can’t help but reflect on the name when Gypsy parted ways with Ken and tied the knot with her former spouse, Ryan.

‘When we split up, it felt as though Aurora might never come to be. Many assume the source has a single explanation, but few are aware of the hidden backstory behind this,’ she went on explaining.

Later this year, when Gypsy is no longer on parole, she intends to travel with her family to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights personally at some point.
