Gypsy Rose Blanchard on Why She’s Taking Marriage Slow After Divorce and Baby News
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the woman whose life story reads like a Lifetime movie script, is once again making headlines—this time for her cautious approach to love after a whirlwind of drama. Fresh off her release from prison in December 2023, Gypsy Rose is navigating motherhood, a rekindled romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker, and the fallout from her short-lived marriage to Ryan Anderson. And let’s just say, she’s not exactly rushing to the altar this time around.
In a recent episode of *Life After Lock Up*, Gypsy Rose opened up about her regrets regarding her divorce from Ryan Anderson, admitting that her post-prison decisions were driven by “hormones” and a desire to reclaim her life. “I don’t regret the choices I’ve made with Ken,” she said, “but I wish it would have been different for Ryan’s sake.” Ah, the classic tale of love, hormones, and unintended casualties—truly the stuff of modern romance.
Gypsy Rose and Ken, who first got engaged in 2018 before splitting in 2019, reconnected shortly after she filed for divorce from Ryan in April 2024. The couple welcomed their daughter, Aurora, in December, adding a new layer of complexity to their relationship. Despite the baby and their rekindled love, Gypsy Rose is adamant about not making another “hasty decision” when it comes to marriage. “He hasn’t proposed,” she noted, “and he hasn’t hinted around to proposing.” Instead, Ken is busy making “big statements of love,” which, let’s be honest, is probably the safer route for now.
The reality star, who served eight years for her role in the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, seems to be taking a more measured approach to life post-prison. “I have loved this man for seven years,” she said of Ken. “Is everything rainbows and sunshine? Hell no! But we’ve gotten to a place where we can handle things in a more mature way.” Maturity? From Gypsy Rose Blanchard? Now that’s a plot twist.
As for wedding plans, the couple is in no rush, though they’ve already decided that baby Aurora will be their flower girl. Ken told *E! News* that marriage is “at the forefront” of their lives, but they’re taking their time. Given Gypsy Rose’s tumultuous past, that’s probably for the best.
So, while Gypsy Rose and Ken may not be walking down the aisle anytime soon, they’re clearly enjoying their second chance at love—hormones, baby, and all.
