Gypsy Rose Blanchard says it's 'heartbreaking' her mom will never have the opportunity to know her daughter

Gypsy Rose Blanchard calls the fact that her mother will never know her unborn child 'heartbreaking' in a new interview.

Thirty-three-year-old Blanchard was released from prison in December 2023 after serving eight years of a 10-year prison sentence for conspiring to kill her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

The murder was carried out by Gypsy Rose’s ex-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, who is still serving a life sentence in prison to this day.

Gypsy Rose’s reason for doing this was due to a form of abuse from her mother called Munchausen Syndrome by proxy that saw Dee Dee lie about Gypsy Rose having leukemia, shaving her head and forcing her to take unnecessary medications.

After being released from prison, Gypsy Rose went on to announce she and her boyfriend Ken Urker would be welcoming their first child together.

With her expecting the baby in January 2025, Blanchard has been reflecting on the fact her child will never know their grandmother.

Gypsy Rose discussed these feelings on a recent episode of The Viall Files podcast, saying its 'heartbreaking' her mom isn't around to meet the baby when it arrives.

“It is heartbreaking because I do, from time to time, think about what could have been, and it makes me sad," Gypsy Rose admitted.

“Everybody asked the question, you know, 'What are you gonna tell your daughter whenever grandma isn't around?'"

She did, however, add that the child won’t go without a strong support system: "My response to them is that Kristy has become more of a mother to me than my own mother was.

“Kristy is going to be Grandma."

Kristy Blanchard, Gypsy Rose’s stepmom, has been married to Rod Blanchard since Gypsy Rose was less than a year old, and has been a mother figure for her over the years.

This isn't the first time Blanchard has been open about missing Dee Dee.

On Mother's Day this year, she said in a TikTok video: "It does not go without notice that my own biological mother is not here to celebrate Mother's Day."

"And what I choose to feel on Mother's Day regarding my own mother is that I think the best of her.

"I think about the good times. I think about her as not what she did to me, but I think about her as a person."

She continued: "Was she a good mom? No. Was she the best mom in the world? No. But she was still my mom so what I choose to feel about her, whether that be guilt, anger, grief, resentment; whatever."
