Gypsy Rose Blanchard and boyfriend Ken Urker welcome baby girl

Blachard’s boyfriend called their newborn ‘the greatest gift of all’. Gypsy-Rose Blanchard – who was released from prison in December 2023 after serving eight years for the second-degree murder of her mother – welcomed her first child, a daughter named Aurora Raina Urker, with boyfriend Ken Urker.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday (January 1), Urker shared the happy news with a photo of Blanchard cradling their newborn in a hospital bed. In the image, the couple is seen gazing lovingly at their baby girl, dressed in a pink hat. “Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all,” he wrote in the post’s caption.
“Ken came up with that,” she said. “There’s a whole backstory to it.”. The 33-year-old shared that the name Aurora Raina wasn’t inspired by Disney or her stepmother Kristy’s dog, as some have speculated. Instead, the name reflects the couple’s shared fascination with the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis.
“Back whenever Ken and I were together seven years ago, both of us had a fascination with the Northern Lights,” Blanchard recalled. She explained that in 2018, while she and Urker were dating during her time in prison, they both wrote down potential future baby names, unknowingly choosing the same one.
“When we had broken up, [it was like] ‘Oh, Aurora is never going to be born,’” she said. “A lot of people think the origin is one thing, but they don’t know that little story.”. Blanchard spent eight years in prison for her role in the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who subjected her to years of unnecessary medical procedures. Now, having reunited with Urker and finalized her divorce from Ryan Anderson, Blanchard is embracing her new chapter.
