In the Aug. 30 post, the noticeably pregnant Blanchard showed off the bump in a mirror selfie while wearing a Nike cropped top and athletic shorts.
Gypsy Rose also did a TikTok video showing the bump from different angles while using the remix phrase of TikTok star Jool Lebron’s “very considerate,” “very approachable,” and very demure.”
Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced she was pregnant on July 9 through her social media accounts. In her video, which was titled, “I’m Pregnant, My Journey So far,” the former prison inmate stated she wanted to address the “rumors” that had been “flying around for quite some time now.”
At the time, she confirmed that she was 11 weeks pregnant and expecting her first child in Jan. 2025 with her boyfriend, Ken Urker. “This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected,” she stated in the video. “But we’re both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood.”
The pregnant Gypsy Rose Blanchard then addressed the concerns of those who thought she was “not ready to be a mother” by noting she didn’t know if anyone was “really ready to be a mother.”
“All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby,” she said. “I am a mother now, I am happy, and I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn’t.”
On Aug. 15, she and Urker announced they were expecting a baby girl.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is Pregnant Amid Her Divorce From Ryan Anderson
The pregnancy news also came months after she and her husband of nearly two years, Ryan Anderson, announced their divorce. The couple met while Gyspy Rose was serving time in prison for her part in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. They exchanged vows during a ceremony within the prison.
However, things between the two fell apart just a few months after she was released from prison. In late May, Blanchard opened up about the split, stating the situation was “hard” on her.
“I think that there is a sense of freedom of following your heart, following what you feel like is right for you,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “In my marriage, I felt like a part of me was lost in it, and so I feel like I found that missing piece of myself that I always felt was lost and now reclaiming that back. I definitely feel a sense of belonging in that space.”
Gypsy Rose Blanchard did say that, despite speculation from critics, she did love Anderson. She confirmed her romance with Urker around the same time. The pair were previously engaged.
Gyspy Rose’s Ex Has To Take A Paternity Test
Due to Louisiana laws, Anderson will have to take a paternity test to confirm that he is not the father of Blanchard’s baby.
The Louisiana laws state that if a mother is married to someone other than the biological father when the baby was conceived or has been divorced for less than 300 days at the time of the birth, the husband shall be the presumed father unless paternity is established for the biological father.
Anderson’s attorney, Jeffrey Carrier, previously stated Ryan has to get a DNA test to confirm he’s not the father. Anderson also confirmed that he is going to take the paternity.
“I have to get a DNA test. I don’t have a choice,” Anderson explained in the live TikTok. He noted that he hates being in the situation.
“I have to take a DNA test for court,” Gypsy Rose’s soon-to-be ex continued. “The way the timeline matches up — I don’t think it’s mine, but I don’t know. The DNA test is going to prove it. Crazier things have happened. I just don’t know. I have my thoughts and I have my opinions.”
