At 32 years old, after spending the last eight and a half years behind bars for her involvement in her mother's murder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard stepped into a new chapter.
Per The Blast's previous coverage, the former convict announced her separation from Ryan Anderson—whom she married while still in prison—just three months after being released on parole. Gypsy, who is believed to be a victim of Munchausen by proxy, was serving a ten-year sentence after pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.
Now, she's ready for a new beginning as she announced she is pregnant with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker.

On Tuesday, Gypsy Rose uploaded a video to her YouTube page announcing that a bun was in the oven.
“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 2025. We're both very excited. This was not planned at all; it was completely unexpected."
"But we're both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood," the 32-year-old added.

Gypsy went on to explain how she is preparing for motherhood and what symptoms she has been experiencing thus far.
"You know it's still going to be a long journey ahead, but I'm up for it. I feel a shift in myself," Gypsy said in her YouTube video. "When I found out that I was pregnant, none of anything else mattered; the drama on social media, the few between creator and me, and all of that drama, it just all faded. It didn't matter anymore. All that matters is that I'm healthy, the baby is healthy, and the relationship with Ken is healthy."
"It's not about anything other than the tiny little life that's inside you. That you are now in charge of protecting and that little tiny life is a baby, a little tiny human that's yours and that you have to make sure you protect, you love, you take care of, and all of the things that I wish I could have had when I was little," she said while holding back tears.

"Girl that's a fupa," one user commented. "Bro you’ve been pregnant for three minutes chill out," another said.
"That was already there, baby," another wrote.
While many commented were hateful, some took the high road and stood up for Gypsy. "People saying too early for a bump, when my friend was 12 weeks she had a full on bump and was in maternity clothes," one user wrote. "People are different, give her a break."
"Why do you guys have to be so cruel this is considered cyberbullying. The bullying needs to stop," another said.
