Gypsy Rose Blanchard – known for planning the murder of her mother in 2015 after being subjected to years of medical abuse at her hands – just announced that she’s pregnant.
The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star, 32, is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Ken Urker, 31, who she has been dating for a few months.
Blanchard first broke the news in a video titled I’m Pregnant, My Journey So Far on her YouTube channel.
She says in the video: ‘I know the rumors have been flying around for quite some time now and I’m happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant.’
‘Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025,’ she continues.
‘This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected, but we’re both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood.’
She also addresses concerns that the trauma from her mother will inhibit her ability to be a parent, saying later in the video: ‘I know that there are going to be people who feel like I’m not ready to be a mother, and I don’t know if anyone’s really ready to be a mother.’
‘All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby,’ she says, tears streaming down her face.
‘I am a mother now, I am happy, and I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn’t.’
