Gypsy Rose Blanchard has announced she's expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Ken Urker.

This comes after the 32-year-old - who was released from prison for the second-degree murder of her mother in December - filed for divorce from husband Ryan Anderson, with her reconnecting with ex Ken very shortly after.

Gypsy Rose announced the happy news in a video on her YouTube channel today (9 July), saying: “We’re both very excited, this was not planned at all it was completely unexpected but we’re both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood.

“I have already experienced the symptoms, when I first learned that I was pregnant, the first thing that I noticed was the cravings […]

“Then the next thing was I noticed was the hunger, like an insatiable hunger [...]

“And then, of course, I missed my period and I didn’t think anything of it because I had seen my OBGYN and I had tested my fertility and she said ‘we’ll probably need to put you on fertility meds’.

“And so when I missed my period I thought I was just having issues with ovulation. It wasn’t until I had texted with Ken and he’s like ‘have you taken a pregnancy test?’

“And then I had taken a test and it turned out positive, so everything just made sense.”

Gypsy was released from prison just four months ago after serving a seven-and-a-half-year-long sentence for her part in the brutal killing of her mother.

Both Gypsy and her boyfriend at the time - Nicholas Godejohn - had conspired to kill Claudine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard together, with both of them subsequently being jailed for the killing.

For years, Dee Dee had forced Gypsy to pretend that she was terminally ill.

This included shaving her head, making her use a wheelchair, and even administering medications in what has been described as a case of 'munchausen by proxy'.

As a result, Gypsy served almost eight years in prison for her part in her mother's death, with Nicholas being sentenced to life for carrying out the murder.

Gypsy paid tribute to her mother to mark Mother's Day in May, as she said: "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."
