Gypsy Rose Blanchard Addresses Mysterious Onesie Shown In Lifetime Docuseries

Earlier this year, Gypsy Rose Blanchard filed for divorce from Ryan Anderson, whom she married while behind bars, in April in Louisiana's Lafourche Parish.
Weeks later, she confirmed her rekindled romance with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker, and earlier this month, Gypsy dropped a baby bombshell--that she has a bun in the oven!
Following the announcement, many have questioned whose baby it is, especially after seeing a Grogu onesie in the latest episode of "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up."
Gypsy Tells Her PO That She Is Expecting
Before announcing the news to the public, the ex-convict, who is still on parole, announced that her PO knew about the pregnancy as she shared "everything" with them.
"I let my parole officer know that I was pregnant immediately when I found out because I keep my parole officer in the loop about everything, even personal stuff," she told People Magazine. "But it doesn't affect anything to do with my parole. I am still on parole for another 11 months."
Gypsy Rose Explains Why She Had A Grogu Onesie
In the latest episode of Lifetime's docuseries "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up," Gypsy packed up her clothes, preparing to move out of her place with Ryan and back in with her parents. As she was packing up her clothes, eagle-eyed viewers couldn’t miss a cute Grogu/Baby Yoda onesie hanging in the background, leaving them confused.
Days later, the ex-convict addressed those questions in a new TikTok live. She bought the "Star Wars" onesie before she knew she was pregnant, but wanted to secure it just in case they did have kids one day. She didn't know if that onesie would still be available if and when she did get pregnant.
She previously told her fans that her pregnancy with Ken was "not planned at all" and "it was completely unexpected."
The Ex-Convict Is Already Experiencing Mood Swings
In her first televised interview since announcing her pregnancy, Gypsy Rose Blanchard revealed that she is already experiencing some of the symptoms, including mood swings. "I'm excited. At first, I was very nervous. But I'm very excited," she told ABC News' Juju Chang. "The mood swings are wicked."
Gypsy also addressed the rumors that the baby could be her ex's. "It was mid-March when I left Ryan. So, this is absolutely 100% Ken's baby," she said. "There was never any question of paternity."
It's only been a few weeks since she split from Ryan and reconciled with Ken, but she wanted to emphasize that she still has feelings for her estranged husband.
"I'm hoping that (Ryan) is okay emotionally. And I wish him the best emotionally," she said when speaking to Chang. "But right now, I have not even had a moment to stop and think about anybody else except for, 'Am I taking my prenatals in the morning? Am I drinking enough water?' Like, I have so much to focus on, making sure that I'm healthy for this baby."
Gypsy Rose Acknowledges That Her Pregnancy May Be Controversial
Gypsy mentioned that, due to her childhood, motherhood will be a challenging experience for her, and she knows it may be controversial to the public.
"I understand that with my past, there's gonna be a lot of people that kind of question if I even should be a mother or even have children in my care," she said on ABC. "I know that I'm not perfect. I know that I have made mistakes in the past. And I will probably make minor mistakes going forward, but at the same time, I do know right from wrong. And learning from past mistakes is a growth that comes with time."
As The Blast reported, Gypsy spent the last eight and a half years behind bars after pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of her mom, Clauddine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard.
Dee Dee subjected Gypsy to severe abuse and medical neglect, convincing her daughter, and those around them, that Gypsy had a range of illnesses and disabilities, including leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and developmental delays. This led to Gypsy undergoing numerous unnecessary medical treatments and surgeries.
Dee Dee Blanchard Controlled Gypsy's Entire Childhood
As shown in the 2017 documentary, "Mommy Dead & Dearest," Dee Dee's manipulation was so extreme that she controlled almost every aspect of Gypsy’s life, including her mobility, education, and social interactions.
The abuse was hidden behind a facade of caregiving and sympathy, often eliciting public support and charity.
In 2015, Dee Dee was stabbed to death by Gypsy's then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn. She co-conspired the plan, leading to her arrest and sentencing.
