Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has revealed her living conditions after giving birth to her baby girl.

Blanchard, who was released from prison after being convicted of second-degree murder of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard in 2015, shared that she was pregnant earlier this year.

While in prison, Blanchard became engaged to a man named Ken Urker in 2018, who she met as a pen pal until they ended their relationship in 2020.

Then, she famously married Louisiana teacher Ryan Anderson in a prison ceremony two years later, before breaking up with him in 2024 after her release, which got messy - and fast.

Ultimately, she returned to a relationship with Urker and announced shortly afterwards that the pair are to be parents.

Now, she’s confirmed that their living arrangements will be unorthodox due to her parole restrictions.

She shared on a new episode of The Viall Files podcast that she will be living with her parents instead of with her boyfriend.

The 33-year-old said that because of her parole, she has to reside with her parents for at least the first few months of her baby’s life.

Sadly, that will mean that Urker will live an hour away from his own child.

She said: "So I am still living with my parents in Cut Off, which is an hour away from [Urker].

"I'm gonna be living there until I'm off of parole. So we're like, okay, how is this gonna work whenever the baby's born? Like, how many days could I spend with you, and how many days can you spend with me?"

She continued: "You know, who will she be with? As, you know, we're going back and forth, and we're doing kind of essentially co-parenting even though we are together."

Host Nick Viall asked her what specific restrictions her parole has, and she replied that it was the ‘standard’ ones.

Blanchard said: "So, having that restriction, in particular, poses an issue. And so that is something that we had talked about extensively.

"And, also, I mean, this is a new relationship in a sense. Even though we have a history behind our relationship and a foundation, we're just getting back together after a 5-year separation."

Because of this, they had to make sure they were clear on their relationship goals and choices as a family.

She explained: "Those are all really significant conversations that couples usually have well into a year of their relationship. And here we are, a month in, and we're already pregnant. So, those were really serious conversations we needed to have.”

Blanchard will be released from the bonds of her parole in 2025, and they will finally be able to live together after the term is up.

The mum-to-be explained that they’ve discussed their future and the possibility of marriage, with Urker saying: "We talk about it for sure.”

"I have my own opinions about that, which I have shared,” Blanchard chimed in.

She said: "He has his own life. And if he wants to marry me, he will propose. He will make his own decisions based on what he wants to do. So I don't put my input in.”
