Gypsy Rose Blanchard has officially become a mom, one year after she was released from prison.

The 33-year-old announced in a post on social media that she gave birth to a healthy baby girl on December 28, which marks one year to the date that she was released from prison, TMZ reports.

Gypsy and her partner, Ken Urker, have also revealed they have called their daughter Aurora Raina Urker.

Speaking to TMZ, Ken said Aurora is 'healthy and we are so happy'.

The new dad also shared a snap of their bundle of joy in an Instagram post today (January 1) with a caption that read: "Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all."

The heartwarming image shows Ken and Gypsy cuddling Aurora, who is wearing a pink hat, in a hospital bed.

The news comes as Gypsy was released on December 28, 2023, after serving a seven-year prison sentence for her part in killing her mother, Claudine 'Dee Dee' Blanchard, in a case that captured worldwide attention.

Gypsy revealed she had spent her life in a wheelchair needlessly as a result of her mom's suspected Munchausen syndrome by proxy - a mental illness and a form of child abuse.

Dee Dee even shaved her daughter's head and administered medicine to convince medics and the world that the young girl, kept in a childlike state, was suffering from leukemia and muscular dystrophy.

But that all came to an end when Gypsy escaped her 48-year-old mom's grip in 2015.

Then 24 years old, Gypsy reportedly let her internet boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, into their Missouri home with instructions to stab her mother to death.

She pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and then spent almost a decade banged up behind bars before she was granted early parole.

During her time in prison, she formed a bond with Ken who had sent her a letter and in 2018, the pair became engaged.

The duo briefly split for a few years as the Hulu show, The Act, which documented Gypsy's story, put the couple under a glaring spotlight and enormous pressure.

However, they reconciled again and in July last year, announced that they were expecting.

Gypsy said in a YouTube video that her traumatic ideal and complicated relationship with her own mom would alter her outlook on motherhood.

She said: "All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby.

"I just want to be a good mother to my child, I want to be everything my mother wasn't."

Gypsy also recently told People that she can't take all the credit for her baby girl's name.

"Ken came up with that," she said of the name Aurora, adding that there's 'a whole backstory to it'.

She continued that some 'think that it's because of the Disney princess', as Gypsy herself was made to believe she was a child when in her early 20s, and of all the frequent Disney park trips they made due to fraudulent claims her mother filed to children's charities.

However, Gypsy said it isn't because of any of that, and actually comes from the couple's 'fascination' with the Northern lights.
