Gypsy Rose Blanchard has spoken out since being released from prison.

Blanchard, 32 had served seven years of a ten-year sentence for her role in the killing of her mother Dee Dee by her boyfriend at the time.

It emerged that Dee Dee had for years created the false impression that Blanchard was terminally ill.

She would force her daughter to use a wheelchair, shave her head, and give her medication she didn't need.

Now, Blanchard has spoken about the future following her early release from jail, including speaking about her husband Ryan Scott Anderson, 37, who she married while she was in prison.

She told People: "My husband Ryan has been an emotional backbone for the last three years.

"We met when the pandemic was really, really strong and I had a lot of emotional ups and downs because of Covid."

She added: "Ryan has seen me through some really good times, some really hard times.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of her mother Dee Dee in 2015.

"I would say that he is probably the most compassionate soul that I've ever met, and the most patient.

"God knows, he's so patient with me, because I could be a lot to handle. I could be an emotional handful."

Now, Blanchard is starting afresh some seven years after she was sentenced for her role in the killing of her mother.

She said: "We're in love. It's hard because I'm going into a new life and I'm newly married, and I'm going to have kids one day, and I'm going to have to explain to my kids why their grandmother on mommy's side isn't around.

"And that's going to be a really hard conversation."

Blanchard's father and stepmom had suggested that she wait until her release before marrying, but the pair nonetheless married in a prison ceremony on July 21, 2022.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard said her mom pretended she was terminally ill.

Since then, their relationship has been restricted by prison rules, which don't allow conjugal visits.

Now, the pair are planning to start a family together.

Blanchard said: "Whenever someone says, 'Do you think that because of what you went through, you're going to do that to your kids?' I say, 'You know what? Absolutely not.'

"I have learned what not to do. I have no concerns about my parenting when it comes to that."

Blanchard added that she feel optimistic about the future as a new chapter of her life begins, saying: "I don't foresee any major hardships. I think this, being in prison, has been the hard part.

"I think when I'm at home with my family, with my husband's arms around me and I'm surrounded by my loved ones, that is when I will be happy."
