Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shows Off Postpartum Body

Gypsy Rose Blanchard shared an update on how she is adjusting to her new role as a mother.

Blanchard, 33, posted a photo of her postpartum body via her Instagram Story on Friday, January just 3 weeks after welcoming her daughter.

“Almost a week postpartum,” Blanchard captioned the post. “Feel more energetic.”

Blanchard and her partner, Ken Urker, welcome a baby girl named Aurora on Saturday, December 28. Following the birth, Urker took to social media to announce the news via Instagram on Wednesday, January 1.

“Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all 👼,” Urker shared alongside a photo of him, Blanchard and their new baby in the hospital.

The birth occurred in Blanchard’s home state of Louisiana. “Aurora is healthy and we are so happy,” Urker told TMZ.

A year before her daughter’s arrival, Blanchard was released after spending almost nine years in prison. In 2016, she pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the death of her mother, Claudine “Dee Dee” Blanchard.

Nicholas Godejohn, Gypsy Love at the time, conspire to kill Dee Dee with Gypsy, with Godejohn ultimately stabbing her to death. Godejohn pleaded guilty to first degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

Dee Dee is widely believed to have suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, defined by the Cleveland Clinic as “a mental health condition in which you pretend someone in your care is sick when they are not.” Throughout her childhood, Gypsy was convinced she had various ailments, including leukaemia, muscular dystrophy and brain damage, and was told she needed a feeding tube and a wheelchair.

Gypsy and Urker were previously engaged in 2018 while she was still in prison. The couple split in 2019 and Gypsy later linked the knot Ryan Anderson in July 2022 while she was behind bars. Their wedding consisted of a small ceremony with no guests.

Shortly after her release in December 2023, Gypsy announced that she and Anderson had split. She officially filed for divorce from Anderson in March 2024.

Four months later, Gypsy confirmed speculation that she was pregnant with Urker.

“I know the rumors have been flying around for quite some time now, and I’m happy to announce that I’m 11 weeks pregnant,” she said in a YouTube video in July 2024. “Ken and I are expecting our very first child in January 2025.”
