Pregnant Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shares Message to Anyone Who Thinks She's "Not Ready to Be a Mother"

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is focusing on her new chapter.
After all, the 32-year-old announced July 9 that she is pregnant and expecting her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker.
"I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant," Gypsy said in a July 9 YouTube video. "Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025. We're both very excited. This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected."
And while she knows "it's still gonna be a long journey ahead," Gypsy is ready for it. And she has something to say to those that are potentially going to judge her for becoming a mom.
"I know that there are going to be people that feel like I'm not ready to be a mother," she continued. "And I just don't know if anyone is really ready to become a mother. I don't know anybody that said, 'OK, I'm ready. I'm doing this.'"
And more importantly, Gypsy—who filed for divorce from Ryan Anderson in April—explained that she has felt a "shift" in herself since finding out she was pregnant, as she realized none of the outside "drama" she was dealing with really mattered.
"All that matters is making sure that I'm healthy, the baby is healthy, my relationship with Ken is healthy," she explained. "And we are moving forward in a positive way."
Gypsy also touched on her realization that once becoming pregnant "it's not about you. 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 said, "and that you have to make sure you protect, you love, you take care of, and all of the things that I wished I could have had when I was little."
She began to cry as she reflected on her own mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, saying, "All the things that I wanted in a mother, I wanna give to this baby."
"I just wanna be a good mother for my child," she added. "I wanna be everything my mother wasn't."
Gypsy has been very open about growing up with an abusive mother and the circumstances that ultimately lead to Gypsy and her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to conspire in the murder of Claudine. While Nicholas is currently serving a life sentence for carrying out the attack, Gypsy served seven years for second degree murder and was released in December.

In late March 2024, three months after her prison release, Gypsy shared that she and Ryan broke up.
"People have been asking what is going on in my life," she wrote in a statement on her private Facebook page, according to People. "Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou."
Gypsy underwent a rhinopasty and septoplasty (nose job) April 5, 2024. Her physical transformation will be documented on Lifetime's Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up.
Gypsy filed for divorce from Ryan on April 8, 2024, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing came nearly two years after their July 2022 prison wedding.
In late April 2024, weeks after filing for divorce, Gypsy announced she got back together with ex-fiancé Ken Urker. The following month, she made their rekindled romance social media official by sharing a video montage of their romantic moments on TikTok.
In her video, Gypsy described her love story with Ken as "legendary."
And when a fan, using her own past comments about ex Ryan, took the oppotunity to ask her in the comments a NSFW question about Ken, Gypsy responded quickly and candidly.
Gypsy tried her first In-N-Out Burger, a Double-Double burger served animal-style. She rated it a 7.
