Gypsy Rose Blanchard Gives Birth on Anniversary of Prison Release Date

Gypsy Rose Blanchard welcomed her first baby on the one-year anniversary of her prison release date

Blanchard, 33, and her partner, Ken Urker, welcomed a baby girl named Aurora on Saturday, December 28. DeeDee is widely believed to have suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, defined by the Cleveland Clinic as “a mental health condition where you pretend that someone within your care is sick when they aren’t.” Throughout her childhood, Gypsy was convinced that she had various ailments, including leukemia, muscular dystrophy and brain damage, and was told that she required a feeding tube and a wheelchair. The saga was depicted in the 2017 documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest and the 2019 Hulu limited series The Act, in which Gypsy was played by actress Joey King.
