Gypsy Rose Blanchard shot to fame in a bizarre way, as the 33-year-old became known to most people for killing her mother.

The woman was 23 when she arranged with her online boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to kill her Mum Dee Dee Blanchard.

Gypsy Rose let him into their home, gave him a kitchen knife, and hid in the bathroom while he stabbed her to death.

She was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2016, spending seven years locked up prior to her release in December 2023.

Now, she’s out of prison and in December 2024 gave birth to her first child, a young girl named Aurora.

She is now dating her former boyfriend, who she met while in prison, Ken Urker after divorcing from her husband Ryan Scott Anderson.

The situation regarding being a mother who killed your own mum is a complex one, and Gypsy Rose has already begun planning out how she will tell her daughter what happened.

In our exclusive interview with Gypsy Rose, ahead of the release of season two of her reality show Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, she opened up about life after prison.

We asked Gypsy Rose about whether moving straight from prison to starring in a reality show had helped or hindered her re-entry into society, the young mother and convicted murderer was positive.

She said: "It's helped in certain ways, because I feel like your viewers and the general public may have had some hesitancy about me coming out of prison.

“I think that the show has given viewers an opportunity to get to know me on a daily basis, because they are following my life, and so they're getting to see how I react to things, how I learn things, my joys, my hardships, they really get to know me without us being in the same room.”

In addition to this, Gypsy Rose also spoke about how becoming a mother has changed her viewpoint on her own mum.

She said: “When I when I was pregnant people kept telling me: 'You're gonna feel different. You're gonna go through some emotions. You're gonna feel triggered at some point.'

“Then it wasn't until after she was born, actually getting to hold her and look in her eyes and kind of that I have the responsibility to take care of her, that I am her mother.”

She went on to add: “That word changed overnight, and it went from ‘mother’ being a negative thing to a positive thing.

“I looked at her and I'm like, ‘I will protect you. I will love you, I will give you everything’… you will never know heartbreak from me.”

When asked about her mother’s murder she called it a ‘lifelong regret’, saying: “I wish I had gone through other avenues, that is forever a lifelong regret, but unfortunately, hindsight is twenty-twenty, so I can't change the past.”

When asked if she feels guilty she replied: “Of course, I have to live with that every single day, and that's a lifelong sentence.

"I might have served eight and a half years in prison, but that is a lifelong sentence for me."

The new series of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up is on Sundays from 16 March on Crime+Investigation.
