Gypsy Rose Blanchard‘s baby arrived earlier than expected. On Wednesday, Jan. 1, the star’s boyfriend, Ken Urker, kicked off 2025 by announcing that the pair had welcomed their first child together. Although he didn’t give any details, reports say Blanchard actually gave birth last week on Saturday, Dec. 28. The news comes as a nice surprise, considering her due date was supposed to be sometime after the new year. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, the little one was born on the one-year anniversary of Blanchard’s prison release.

Starting Fresh in 2025
The birth of Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s baby is a sign of a new beginning for the couple. This time last year, the star had just gotten out of prison after being locked up for eight years. She initially received a 10-year jail sentence for helping orchestrate her mother’s murder in June 2015. However, Blanchard was released on parole. Her early prison release broke the internet in December 2023. Over the following months, Blanchard continued to make headlines due to her personal life.
Blanchard’s relationship with her then-husband, Ryan Anderson, received much online commentary. Since the couple had married while Blanchard was still in prison, people wondered if they would be able to make their marriage work now that she was no longer behind bars.

While Blanchard and Anderson were happy for a few months, they eventually called it quits in March. Soon afterward, the ex-con had reconciled with Urker, her former fiancé. In July, they announced they were expecting their first child. Now, five months after that, their little one has finally entered the world.
Congratulations Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker!
