Gypsy Rose Blanchard Announces Pregnancy

Earlier this year, Gypsy announced to the world that she was expecting her first child, something that she acknowledged would "be a long journey ahead, but [is] up for it."

"I feel a shift in myself," she told her fans. "When I found out that I was pregnant, none of anything else mattered; the drama on social media, the feud between the creator and me, and all of that drama, it just all faded. It didn't matter anymore."

She continued, "All that matters is that I'm healthy, the baby is healthy, and the relationship with Ken is healthy."

Dee Dee Blanchard, Gypsy's mother, had successfully persuaded many doctors that her daughter had a variety of diseases and medical conditions, including asthma, cancer, Down syndrome, epilepsy, and more.

After enduring years of alleged abuse, Gypsy revealed that she felt there was no escape other than to murder Dee Dee. Following her eight and a half years in prison for her role in the murder, Gypsy discussed her relationship with her mother, who reportedly told her she "was never going to get married, raise a family, have kids, or do any of that."

"So, to be here, standing on my own two feet and expecting my first baby, that's something I've reached as an achievement and a personal goal," she continued. "I thank God every day that I am now having this second chance at life with a kid of my own."

"The way my mother parented me is definitely not the way I'm going to be. We always say for the next generation, we want to be better than we were raised," the 32-year-old mom-to-be said. "And so, for me, I think that couldn't be any more truthful."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Opens Up About Pregnancy

Just days after sharing her pregnancy news with the world, Gypsy Rose spoke to People Magazine about her pregnancy and the backlash she has received from the public.

"I'm not going to say that I think that a baby will help a marriage or a relationship," Gypsy told People. "Because obviously there's the added stress. I know that realistically, there's going to be arguments too, but [Ken and I] both come from divorced parents and one thing we absolutely agreed on from day one, even back when we were dating in 2017, is that when we have a child, we will stick together for the long haul."

She added, "This is a forever thing because we don't want our child to grow up in a broken home."
