Gypsy Rose Blanchard Praises “Girl Dad” Ken Urker: A Heartwarming Parenthood Journey Unfolds
In a heartwarming sneak peek into parenthood, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has opened up about her boyfriend, Ken Urker’s, new role as a devoted “girl dad” to their baby daughter, Aurora Raina Urker. As fatherhood officially takes center stage in their lives, Urker is embracing the sweet chaos that comes with watching his little one thrive. Blanchard, 33, describes the experience as “adorable” and notes that witnessing Urker grow into this responsibility is a joy, especially since he was still finding his footing when they first met.
Urker, on his part, couldn’t be more smitten with little Aurora, who was born on December 28, 2022. He shares that each day’s milestones—like her widening eyes, the emergence of her first social smiles, and the growth reflected on their borrowed baby scale—are snippets of joy that fill his heart. “I really am just soaking in all these moments and enjoying them to the fullest,” he gushes. Blanchard enthusiastically contributes that she wants to “spoil her and just make her happy,” emphasizing her desire to nurture both her daughter and her relationship with Urker.
It’s not just the parenthood vibes that are making headlines—there’s a cute backstory to Aurora’s name. Contrary to speculation that it was inspired by Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, the couple chose it for its ties to their shared fascination with the aurora borealis during their early days of relationship-building. Interestingly, their relationship blossomed through letters while Blanchard was serving time for her involvement in her mother’s death—a rather complicated backstory for a fairy tale name, don’t you think? The couple reportedly even wrote down names for their future children years before Aurora’s arrival, both landing on “Aurora” accidentally.
As they navigate the ups and downs of parenthood, Blanchard and Urker are publicly embracing this new chapter, revealing the profound connection and growth that has unfolded since the birth of their daughter. With the reality series “Life After Lockup” in tow, we can expect to see more of their evolving journey as parents on-screen and off. As Urker aptly puts it, fatherhood might sound “basic,” but the love and joy it brings are anything but.
