Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker, whom she was previously engaged to before marrying Ryan Anderson behind bars. She has since filed for divorce from Ryan.
The now 33-year-old took to YouTube last month to drop the baby bombshell, and has been taking her fans on her pregnancy journey ever since.
Ken Urker and Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced they are having a girl, and they are already dreaming up baby names.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shares 16 Week Update
On August 8, Gypsy posted a photo of herself in a grocery store, holding an avocado and sharing, "Our little one is the size of an avocado! I love watching my baby bump grow."
She has been speaking out about her pregnancy ever since she was 11 weeks, telling her fans, "You know it's still going to be a long journey ahead, but I'm up for it. I feel a shift in myself. 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," she added.

In a video uploaded to her Instagram page on August 15, Gypsy is seen wearing a long-sleeve gray crop top, telling her fans, "I'm starting to think the days of me wearing cute little crop tops are just about over for right now."
She then panned the camera to her belly, showing off how big she has gotten since announcing the news last month. "Yep, probably will get back into it next summer, or next winter," she then joked.
"Thank y’all for the support during my pregnancy," Gypsy commented on her own video after seeing the out pour of love she received. "Let me know of any good fashion tips!"
Fans Tell Gypsy Rose That She Can 'Always Rock A Crop Top'
Despite being over 16 weeks pregnant, fans gushed over the ex-convict, telling her to keep rocking her crop tops. "Gypsy, you can ALWAYS rock a crop top," one fan said.
"I think pregnant women with a crop top is super cute," another wrote.
"You look great, girl," a third said.
"Crop tops are the most acceptable while pregnant in my opinion!! So cute Gypsy!" a fourth commented.
Ryan Anderson Says He Has To Get A DNA Test
Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, says there are still doubts about the paternity of her unborn child.
During a TikTok livestream on August 10, the 38-year-old special education teacher revealed to his followers that he’ll be undergoing a DNA test to determine if he or Ken Urker is the father, due to the fact that Gypsy's pregnancy occurred while they were still legally married under Louisiana law.
“I have to take a DNA test for court,” he said. “The way the timeline matches up — I don't think it's mine, but I don't know. The DNA test is going to prove it. Crazier things have happened. I just don't know. I have my thoughts and I have my opinions."
Louisiana attorney Beau Brock explained to People Magazine in July that the law is meant "to protect the child" and ensure that "the child has a father and a mother to provide for them."
What Will The Baby's Birth Certificate Say?
In July, a Louisiana attorney informed People that Ryan could be listed as the father on Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s baby’s birth certificate if the child is born before their divorce is finalized.
Under Louisiana law, if the mother is married to someone other than the biological father at conception or has been divorced for less than 300 days at birth, the husband or ex-husband is automatically presumed to be the father unless paternity is established otherwise.
For Ken Urker to be named on the birth certificate, Ryan would need to sign an affidavit recognizing Ken as the father. If Ryan declines, Ken would have to file a court motion, leading to a DNA test for all three parties to establish paternity.
