Since her release from prison in December 2023 after serving 8 years for her involvement in her mother's murder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been subject to strict parole conditions, including a ban on living with Ken Urker.

During the May 19 episode of ‘Life After Lockup’, she said, “Everything is day by day right now. So, we’re just winging it.” 

“It’s hard to keep up a relationship whenever you’re living in two separate places, and you've got schedules that interfere,” Blanchard shared.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's boyfriend, Ken Urker, also expressed his frustration at the situation.

He told producers in a separate scene, “Gypsy’s been gone all week, and my little Aurora isn’t home. It definitely feels a little depressing around the house. I feel like I have no purpose during the daytime before work.”



 

“I feel like I have to find things to occupy my time, it’s very lonely,” he added.

However, from next month, the restriction will end as per the reality star, she’ll “move in with” Urker, who also excitedly said, “We can all be a family finally under one roof finally. That’s the biggest one.”

About the ending of Blanchard’s parole conditions, Urker further noted, “Freedom, coming out into the world and actually being able to enjoy it, something that Gypsy’s never really been able to do,” before stating, “And it’s going to get even better in a few months when she’s off parole. We can actually travel and get to see more stuff. She’s been the best mother I could ever want for my child.”

He added, “I’m super proud that I get to go on this journey with her. And the three of us are experiencing life in an all new way. It’s been glorious. I’m loving every minute of it. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”

The man went on to assert that he wants to “unite us as a family.”

“I know that Gypsy’s the partner I want to go through life with. And I want to raise our daughter together as strongly as possible. It’s about reassuring her that I’m committed to us. There’s nobody else I want to experience life with other than her,” he mentioned.
