It seems like family is super important to them. Gypsy emphasized that it's "not just us but our parents and our sisters and brothers and everyone around us."

Of course being in the public eye adds a whole extra layer to parenting for Gypsy and Ken. Gypsy acknowledged that they "have to put all that aside and really hone in on that family dynamic." She knows it's not just about her and Ken anymore "We have a child to protect" she said.
They are also navigating the stress of public attention while trying to make parenting choices. Gypsy mentioned that right after Aurora was born "the public was trying to get a photo of her by any means." But Gypsy and Ken have a clear boundary. "We are not posting her face on social media.

Gypsy Rose's Advice to Luigi Mangione: "Ignore the Weirdos" and Stay Grounded
In another recent appearance Gypsy was asked about Luigi Mangione who is also getting a lot of public attention right now due to his legal situation. Apparently Luigi is receiving tons of fan mail while in jail. Gypsy who knows a thing or two about fan mail from her own time in prison had some advice for him.
She told TMZ that getting letters can "buoy your spirits" which is definitely a positive thing when you are locked up. However she also warned Luigi to "be wary of all the people trying to get a piece of him" and to "distinguish between people who are genuinely reaching out versus the ones who are sending letters in an attempt to get something out of you."
Gypsy even referenced her own relationship with Ken as a positive example. She said she could tell Ken's letters to her were "genuine" and now they are parents together. But overall her main advice to Luigi? "Ignore them" meaning ignore the "weirdos" and be careful about who you trust in the midst of all the attention. It's clear Gypsy's prison experience has given her some unique insights into navigating fame and public interest especially during tough times.
