Gypsy Rose Blanchard revealed it on Saturday she and boyfriend Ken Urker are expecting a baby girlafter posting an Instagram message with photos from the couple’s gender reveal party.
The news comes just a month after Blanchard, 33, revealed she was pregnant with her first child and expecting a child in January 2025.
In the new post, she and Urker are seen stand together outside and pop a balloon filled with pink confetti, and big smiles as they recorded a video message to the expectant newcomer.
“Honey, I’m your mother,” Blanchard says into the camera, followed by Urker adding, “I’m your father.” They both finished in unison, “You’re a girl!”
Blanchard expressed her excitement in the caption, writing, “Ken and I are over the moon and so excited to start our family. We are so thankful for our friends, neighbors and families who came to our party today! We also want to thank you for your love and support!”
The soon-to-be parents were previously engaged while Blanchard was incarcerated for his involvement in the the murder of his mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
They broke off their engagement in 2019 and she later married Ryan Anderson in 2022 while still behind bars. But after her release in December 2023, Blanchard filed for divorce from Anderson the following April, and Urker moved to Louisiana to be closer to her in June.
Reflecting on her upcoming journey into motherhood, Blanchard told People Magazine that she draws inspiration from her stepmother, Kristy.
“I want to be kind, my kids come to me for all kinds of advice, just like my stepmother,” Gypsy said. “I’ve seen how she’s raised her kids — and I think she’s a kickass mom.” She added that she hopes to emulate her stepmother’s balance of support and freedom, so that her children can pursue their dreams while being there for them when needed.
