Gypsy Rose Blanchard is much more than an ex-convict. The inspiring story of the 33-year-old highlights her rise like a phoenix after enduring years of abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. While she served 85% of her 10-year sentence, Gypsy’s life completely changed after her high-profile prison release. She currently boasts nearly 700k followers on Instagram.
Moreover, Gypsy is living a life filled with love and cherishing moments with her boyfriend, Ken Urker. Interestingly, Ken and Gypsy go way back. Their relationship began as penpals when she was serving time in prison. Eventually, the lovers reunited earlier this year. Recently, Gypsy opened up about her relationship with Ken over the years. So, what did she have to say? Let’s find out.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Says She Was ‘Robbed Of A Normal Relationship’ With Ken
Well, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker began their love story as penpals while she was still serving her sentence. In October 2018, Ken proposed to the Life After Lockup star. However, the two called off their engagement in 2019. Gypsy then moved on with Ryan Anderson. However, their marriage didn’t last for too long, as they eventually split up in late March.
She has since reconnected with her ex-fiance Ken Urker and the two are now expecting their first child. In an August 30 YouTube video titled Cooking for Ken for the First Time, Gypsy spoke candidly about her relationship with Ken while she was in prison. She begins the monologue by expressing her appreciation for Ken’s presence in her life and how she doesn’t take him for granted.
Fighting back tears, Gypsy Rose recalled how, after their breakup in 2019, she was in pain and was unable to move on. She recounted their relationship when she was serving time, noting that they were “robbed of a real relationship.” She explained that despite being within each other’s reach, she couldn’t get to him. However, she mentioned that their relationship has changed for the better.
“We couldn’t have a normal relationship at that time,” she said, adding that she’s grateful that they can now have one. She concluded, “I just can’t express enough how happy he makes me.” However, the comments under the video had mixed reactions from fans, criticizing Gypsy for giving Ken “too much power” in their relationship. Some fans even mocked Gypsy for blaming the justice system for “robbing” her of a real relationship as if everyone goes to prison.
