We are getting a front-row seat to all of it in season two of 'Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up '. From baby news to relationship updates there's a lot happening in Gypsy's world and we've got the inside scoop.
Back with Ken and in Couples Therapy: Gypsy Rose Opens Up About Her Rekindled Romance and Navigating Real Life
Remember Ken Urker? He and Gypsy Rose are back together! And they are not shy about sharing their journey. In a recent interview they spilled the tea on their relationship and it sounds like they are really working at it. One big thing? Couples therapy .
Gypsy explained that therapy has been super helpful for them. She likes having an "unbiased opinion" someone who can see both sides without family getting involved and offering potentially biased advice. It gives them a neutral space to talk things out improve their communication and figure things out as a couple. Smart move right?
And is it serious? Gypsy says "Absolutely" when asked if she sees herself with Ken "forever". Aw that's sweet! She says she's "always felt that way about him". Even though they first connected when she was in prison for her involvement in her mother Dee Dee Blanchard's murder she says their feelings are still strong now that she's out and living a totally different life.
Living together is definitely different from phone calls and prison visits though. Gypsy acknowledges that "you get to know someone a lot better" when you are sharing a home. She jokes that it is like "dating a new partner but then it's the old partner too." They are basically relearning each other in this new chapter of their lives which involves lots of questions and getting to know each other on a "broader spectrum".
From Pen Pals to Parents: Gypsy Rose and Ken's Unexpected Journey to Parenthood
Their story is pretty unique. Gypsy and Ken started talking as Pen pals. He wrote to her after seeing the documentary 'Mommy Dead and Dearest' which told the story of her and her mom's complicated life. They got engaged way back in 2018 but then broke it off before reconnecting later.
After her release from prison in December 2023 Gypsy actually married Ryan Anderson. That marriage did not last long and they divorced in 2024. It was after that split that she and Ken found their way back to each other. Things moved fast after that! They announced they were expecting a baby just a few months later in July 2024 and welcomed their daughter Aurora in December 2024.
Now they are navigating parenthood together. Gypsy hopes they can continue to have "open communication" and "let down their walls" to be even more vulnerable with each other. Sounds like they are committed to making it work as a couple and as parents.
Dr. Phil's Podcast and a Breakup Blunder? The Unexpected Influence on Gypsy Rose's Relationship
Here is a twist you might not expect. Apparently Dr. Phil played a role in one of Gypsy Rose and Ken's past breakups! Ken revealed that their temporary split was partly due to "outside opinion and influence" specifically mentioning a Dr. Phil podcast.
According to Ken after their initial engagement he listened to a Dr. Phil podcast episode that talked about Gypsy Rose and even mentioned him by name. He says "a lot of people in my ear" were also suggesting that the "best thing I can do for her is to give her some time to build a self-identity". Ken says he took those opinions especially Dr. Phil's to heart and thought breaking up was the right move at the time.
It just goes to show how outside voices even well-intentioned ones can sometimes impact relationships. Luckily Gypsy Rose and Ken found their way back to each other despite that detour.
Divorce Drama Finally Over: Gypsy Rose Closes Chapter with Ex-Husband Ryan Anderson

Gypsy told E! News that she and Ryan are "just finishing up some of the legal proceedings for the paternity aspect of that divorce". They were communicating through lawyers to "fully close this chapter of our life". Apparently they had talked directly "recently" but now all communication is through their legal teams.
Gypsy confirmed their divorce was finalized in December. She says "Now that that is over and done with we won't have any communication." It sounds like she is ready to move on and focus on her future with Ken and their baby. She even mentioned she wishes Ryan the best in his healing journey. Definitely seems like she is putting the past firmly behind her.
