Gypsy Rose Christmas Photo Reveals Baby Bump
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who is expecting her first child in January, flaunted her baby bump in a family vacation photo shared on social media.
Gypsy Rose, wearing a white pregnant sweater and blue jeans, posed in front of a Christmas tree with her father, Rod Blanchard, stepmother Kristy Blanchard, and Ken Urker.
While her baby is not due until the new year, Gypsy Rose has already settled on a name: Aurora Raina Urker. Gypsy admits that she had some help coming up with the name.
Ken came up with that. “There’s a whole backstory to it,” she told People in an interview this month, adding that reports she stole the name from her stepmother’s dog, Aurora Grace, are false. “It’s not because of that.”
Gypsy Rose went on to explain how and when she and Ken, who ended their engagement in 2019 before rejoining in 2023, came up with their baby’s name.
“When Ken and I were together seven years ago, we were both fascinated by the Northern Lights, which are officially known as the Aurora Borealis,” she remarked.
I believe it was in 2018 when we scribbled each other’s future children’s names on sheets of paper, and Aurora was the name we both chose without realizing it. Gypsy married teacher Ryan Anderson in 2022 but filed for divorce after less than two years.
She and Ken reconnected in spring 2024.
We are together and in a great place in our relationship; we realize it will be a long road ahead, but we are thrilled about the future,” she said.
Gypsy Rose was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016 after convincing her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to murder her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, the previous year.
She pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was released in December 2023 after serving eight years at Missouri’s Chillicothe Correctional Center.
Nicholas Godejohn, Gypsy’s then-boyfriend, was convicted of murder in 2019 and sentenced to life in prison. The pair planned to kill Dee Dee because Gypsy, a Munchausen by proxy sufferer, wanted to escape her mother’s torture.
