After going public with her new beau just weeks after announcing her divorce from Ryan Anderson - Gypsy Rose Blanchard has today claimed she's never been happier.
If you're struggling to get your head around the plot-twist littered love life of the convicted murderer-turned-celebrity superstar, don't worry. I'll fill you in...
Earlier this month, Gypsy confirmed her split from Ryan via her private Facebook profile, writing: “Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation, and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou.

“I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now, I need time to let myself find who I am.”
The couple had tied the knot in 2022 while she was serving a sentence of ten years in prison after pleading to the second-degree murder of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard in 2015.
Gypsy has only been out of prison for three months when she announced the end of their marriage - something that Ryan later told the Daily Mail he was ‘blindsided’ by.
"It just came out of the blue. I haven’t spoken to her. I just don't know what's going on. I'm at a loss. I'm really not doing well at all."
Despite Ryan's heartache, Gypsy didn't take long to get over her former hubby, and earlier this week, she broke the news that she'd rekindled her romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker.
In snaps obtained by TMZ, the couple - who were previously engaged before going their separate ways five years ago - confirmed the news that they'd rekindled things, locking lips whilst attending a jazz festival in New Orleans.
They duo had met via pen pal whilst Gypsy was incarcerated, but apparently, the timing wasn't right.
She told the publication on Tuesday: "After reconnecting earlier this month, we realized that our love for each other is simply undeniable, and life is too short to not take a chance.
"We have a history that made for the perfect foundation for a new beginning. We are together and in a wonderful place in our relationship.
"We know it is going to be a long road ahead but are excited for the future."
And now, after much anticipation, the 34-year-old has lifted the lid on how exactly the duo ended up back together.
Speaking to Extra on the red carpet of her newly-released Lifetime docuseries From the Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Gypsy began by admitting: "I'm feeling good tonight. It's my first time in L.A... taking in the sights."
Addressing her new romance, she continued: "We are very happy together. We have a long history together. We always had a really close friendship that made for a great relationship. We are in a good spot right now."
Love to hear it.
