Gypsy Rose Blanchard is starting the new year off right with an exciting new chapter.

The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star officially became a mom after welcoming her first child with boyfriend Ken Urker exactly one year after she was released from prison, per People. A representative for Blanchard confirmed that she gave birth just before 10 a.m. December 28, welcoming her 6 lbs., 5 oz. daughter, Aurora Raina Urker. Blanchard, a victim of Munchausen by proxy via her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, was released from prison on the same date in 2023 after serving eight years for her role in the 2015 murder of her mother.

Urker also confirmed the news on his own Instagram, sharing a photo of Blanchard holding their newborn daughter as the new parents gazed lovingly at her, alongside the caption, "Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all 👼"

Blanchard announced her "completely unexpected" pregnancy in July 2024 amid her divorce from ex-husband Ryan Anderson, whom she married in 2022 while still behind bars, and reconciliation with former fiancé Urker. At the time, she got emotional while explaining how excited she was to give her child "all the things" she wanted from her own mother.

Congratulations to the happy family!
