Gypsy Rose Blanchard is pregnant, expecting first baby with Ken Urker after reconciliation
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has a baby on the way.
The reality star shared via Instagram Tuesday that she is pregnant with her and ex-fiancé Ken Urker’s first baby following their reconciliation.
“We are proud to announce we are expecting our first child in January 2025,” Blanchard, 32, captioned her post.
The expectant star debuted her baby bump in the social media upload as Urker, 31, cradled her stomach in multiple maternity shoot snaps.
The couple posed with ultrasound shots as well as a tiny sweater.
Blanchard shared more details about her pregnancy in a YouTube video, confirming the “rumors that have been flying around for quite some time now.”
Before describing the sleepiness and cravings she has experienced at 11 weeks, the “Life After Lockup” star confessed that her “unexpected” pregnancy was “not planned at all.”
However, she clarified that she and her partner are “excited” to become parents.
Blanchard praised Urker for being “very gracious” and “very forgiving” as she deals with “crazy mood swings.”
The couple’s milestone comes three months after they made headlines for reconciling their relationship amid her divorce from Ryan Anderson.
The former spouses separated in March in the wake of Blanchard’s prison release.
She had been serving time on a second-degree murder charge for her abusive mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard’s 2015 death.
Gypsy Rose and Urker, who were previously engaged from 2018 to 2019 while she was behind bars, were spotted holding hands and kissing the following month.
Urker subsequently moved to Louisiana to be “closer” to his significant other.
Gypsy Rose clapped back at claims that she is “not ready to be a mother,” saying she has felt a “shift in [her]self” since her positive pregnancy test.
“When I found out I was pregnant, none of anything else mattered,” she said of online “drama.”
Gypsy Rose, who was portrayed by Joey King in “The Act” in 2019, began to cry as she told her subscribers, “All of the things I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby.
“Everything that has ever happened to me in my life suddenly doesn’t matter because it all led me to be who I am today, and it all led me to this moment right here, right now,” she continued. “And that’s a blessing.”
