Gypsy Rose Blanchard is embarking on yet another new beginning.
In fact, the 32-year-old just announced she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker.
"I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant," Gypsy said in a July 9 YouTube video "Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025. We're both very excited. This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected."
And Gypsy's suprising news comes just over three months after she filed for divorce from ex Ryan Anderson, and subsequently began dating Ken again after their initial 2018 engagement.
"We're both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood," Gypsy added. "I've already experienced the symptoms. When I first learned I was pregnant the first thing I notice was the cravings."
The 32-year-old went on to explain that her first signal she may have been expecting was her hankering for orange juice.
"I didn't think anything of it," Gypsy recalled, noting she had been seeing a fertility specialist regarding issues she had been having. "When I missed my period, I thought I was having issues with ovulation."
However, Gypsy quickly learned she was pregnant and detailed what her journey has been like so far.
"I have experience crazy mood swings," she added. "Poor Ken. If he breathes wrong, I'm just like, 'Ah.' Pregnancy is not easy with the mood swings. He has been very gracious about it, he has been very forgiving, but good lord."
Motherhood isn't the only journey Gypsy has embarked on since completing her second-degree murder sentence for the 2015 homicide of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard in December 2023. After all, Gypsy has undergone several hair and beauty transformations, as well as filing for divorce from Ryan and continuing her life in the public eye.
"It's going to be a long journey ahead, but I'm up for it," Gypsy added of her pregnancy. "I know that there are going to be people that feel like I'm not ready to be a mother. I just don't know if anyone is ready to be a mother. I don't know anyone who's like, 'Okay, I'm ready I'm doing this.' So I feel a shift in myself."
Read on to see what Gypsy has been up to since her release from prison.

In late March 2024, three months after her prison release, Gypsy shared that she and Ryan broke up.
"People have been asking what is going on in my life," she wrote in a statement on her private Facebook page, according to People. "Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou."
Gypsy underwent a rhinopasty and septoplasty (nose job) April 5, 2024. Her physical transformation will be documented on Lifetime's Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up.
Gypsy filed for divorce from Ryan on April 8, 2024, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The filing came nearly two years after their July 2022 prison wedding.
In late April 2024, weeks after filing for divorce, Gypsy announced she got back together with ex-fiancé Ken Urker. The following month, she made their rekindled romance social media official by sharing a video montage of their romantic moments on TikTok.
In her video, Gypsy described her love story with Ken as "legendary."
And when a fan, using her own past comments about ex Ryan, took the oppotunity to ask her in the comments a NSFW question about Ken, Gypsy responded quickly and candidly.
Gypsy tried her first In-N-Out Burger, a Double-Double burger served animal-style. She rated it a 7.
