00:00Gypsy Rose Blanchard just announced her pregnancy on YouTube, as she and boyfriend Ken Urker
00:05are expecting their first child.
00:08Born in 1991, Gypsy Rose Blanchard grew up under the intense control of her mother, Dee
00:13Dee Blanchard, who subjected her to years of medical abuse and deception, leading many
00:18to believe Gypsy was severely ill.
00:20In reality, Dee Dee had Munchausen by proxy, a condition where a caregiver fabricates or
00:26induces illness in a person under their care.
00:29Gypsy's struggle for freedom culminated in 2015, when she and her then-boyfriend conspired
00:34to murder Dee Dee.
00:35Blanchard was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2016, and was released on parole in December
00:41of 2023.
00:42Since regaining her freedom, Blanchard reconnected with her ex-fiance she became pen pals with
00:47while in prison, Ken Urker, and now the pair are expecting.
00:51In the caption of a YouTube video titled, I'm Pregnant, My Journey So Far, Blanchard
00:55wrote,
00:56Well, the rumors are true.
