Grieving Gypsy Rose Blanchard Expresses Sadness Over Mother’s Absence from Meeting Her Baby
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is expressing regret.
As the Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star grows closer to welcoming her first baby with boyfriend Ken Urker, she is reflecting on her disappointment that her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard—whom Gypsy served seven years in prison for conspiring to murder in 2015—won’t get to meet her daughter.
“For me, it is heartbreaking,” Gypsy explained on the Oct. 16 episode of The Viall Files. “I do from time to time think about what could’ve been. And it makes me sad. So, I put that in the back of my mind.”
The 33-year-old admitted that some of the feelings come from questions she gets on social media.
“Everybody asks the question, ‘What are you gonna tell your daughter whenever Grandma isn’t around?’” Gypsy noted, before crediting her stepmother Kristy Blanchard for filling the role. “My response to them is that Kristy has become more of a mother to me than my own mother was. So, Kristy is going to be Grandma.”
