CNN —Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who served eight and a half years for helping to kill her abusive mother, announced Tuesday that she is set to become a mother herself.
Blanchard shared the news on social media that and her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker, are expecting their first child.
“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,” she added as she got emotional.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016.
Soon after their breakup, Blanchard married Louisiana teacher Ryan Anderson in a prison wedding ceremony in July 2022 before parting ways in March.
