Less than a year since her early release from prison for the second-degree murder of her mother 'Dee Dee', Gypsy Rose Blanchard has reportedly revealed she's pregnant with her first child.
It is understood that the ex-con is expecting a baby with boyfriend Ken Urker, with whom she recently rekindled her relationship with after announcing plans to divorce from husband Ryan Anderson.
The mum-to-be shared the exciting news in a video titled "I'm Pregnant, My Journey So Far" posted on her YouTube channel on Tuesday 9 July.
"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," she said in the latest upload.
"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 [...]".
She also made her announcement on Instagram with a sweet photo alongside Ken, showing off her blossoming baby bump."
"We are proud to announce we are expecting our first child in January 2025," she wrote in the caption.
Gypsy and Ken's news comes just weeks after she announced her divorce from husband Ryan Anderson.
The pair had tied the knot all the way back in 2022, while she was serving a sentence of ten years in prison after pleading to the killing of her mother, Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard in 2015.
After she was released early in December, however, the pair were finally given to opportunity to shack up together, telling press that they couldn't wait for their real life to begin.
You can only imagine fans' shock, therefore, when back in April, Gypsy revealed she'd sincerekindled a romance with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker.
In snaps obtained by TMZ at the time, the parents-to-be - 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."
