Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Husband Recalls Romantic Prison Proposal

It is no secret that Ryan Scott Anderson popped the big question while his wife, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, was still in prison, but many don't know how he did it. 

The duo's fairytale romance surprised many, given the circumstances behind Blanchard's imprisonment. However, Anderson recently gave fans a closer look at their love story, recalling when he realized the former inmate was the only woman for him.

Anderson, a Louisiana teacher, recalled his romantic proposal in the new docuseries, "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard." He revealed the urge to marry his wife began growing after she queried him about their relationship status.

The then-inmate confessed her love for Anderson over the phone, noting she had fallen head over heels and was eager to take their romance to new heights. This revelation deeply resonated in the Louisiana teacher's heart, who had fallen for Blanchard ages ago.

After confirming their mutual feelings, Anderson swiftly prepared for a prison proposal. The only problem was getting the ring through security at the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri.

A little deception was needed to achieve his goal, and Anderson used his wits to outsmart security personnel by sneaking the engagement ring on a necklace into the facility. Per the Lifetime series, he successfully popped the big question during his third visit to see Blanchard.

The smitten husband described the couple's chemistry as "electric," claiming that he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Blanchard — who looked adorable with makeup on — when he sat across from her at the correctional center. Anderson asked for her hand in marriage with his feelings reaching a crescendo.

Blanchard echoed similar sentiments in a throwback audio footage from prison, where she recalled the touching proposal. She noted that her beau took her hand and told her he loved her before popping the big question.

The couple's romance continues growing following Blanchard's recent release from prison on December 28 after serving 7 of her 10-year sentence. Things are so hot between them that the former inmate raved about her man's bedroom skills in a clap-back to haters.

Anderson has actively supported his wife since her release from prison, but many still suspect he has impure intentions toward Blanchard. The criticisms finally sparked a reaction from the former convict, who vehemently defended her husband.

Blanchard dropped a lengthy comment on one of Anderson's Instagram posts, telling haters that she couldn't care less about their opinions. "Ryan, don't listen to the haters. I love you, and you love me. We don't owe anyone anything. Our family is who matters," she began, adding:

"If you get likes and good comments, great, if you get hate, then whatever, because THEY DON'T MATTER. I love you 💕 Besides, they jealous because you are rocking my world every night…yeah, I said it, the D is fire 🔥 Happy wife, happy life ❤"

Before fans could let this shocking revelation sink in, Anderson took things up a notch with the cheeky response: "Who said I gave a d--- about what these jealous people say anyway, haha…now come get it, Baby…"

Blanchard's comments about her husband's bedroom skills are not the first praises she has given Anderson. She opened up about their relationship in an interview, noting that the pair felt like "newly-together-weds" since they couldn't be together while she was behind bars.

After reuniting outside her prison cell, Blanchard claimed they were interested in starting a family, but they "don't know when at this point." Nonetheless, she knew Anderson was the right man for her, given her past relationships.

When asked if the Louisiana teacher was her "happily ever after," the 32-year-old replied: "I had to kiss a couple frogs to get to this one handsome face." This revelation sparked positive responses from fans, who supported Blanchard's happiness.

"They're so cute and happy to let miss gypsy live the life she deserves," someone chimed, while another one wrote: "She's finally living her life the way she wants."

The couple first connected after Anderson wrote to Blanchard during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. They got married in 2022 while she was serving at Chillicothe Correctional Center.
