Fastexy Exchange|Gypsy Rose Blanchard posts paternity test results to quell rumors surrounding pregnancy

Gypsy Rose Blanchard,Fastexy Exchange the now-social media and reality TV star who was released from prison in December after serving seven years for conspiring to kill her mother in 2015, has dropped the results of a paternity test amid swirling rumors about her pregnancy.

Blanchard announced her pregnancy with ex-fiance turned new boyfriend Ken Urker back in July, just months after her split from her husband of less than two years, Ryan Scott Anderson. Blanchard made her rekindled relationship with Urker social media official by late April, just weeks after her mid-March breakup with Anderson.

Speculation and questions about the child's paternity began soon after Blanchard's pregnancy became public knowledge, complicated by the fact that Blanchard had previously admitted to still having feelings for Urker and speaking to him while still with Anderson.

"There’s been a lot of chatter around the paternity of our baby and while we’ve known for sure from the beginning, I feel that it’s finally time to put all these theories to rest," Blanchard said in the caption. "Here are the results showing Ken is the father. Ken is going to be an incredible dad and we are so excited to welcome our baby girl into the world."

From the beginning, Blanchard has maintained there is no way the baby is anyone but Urker's. Even if she didn't care to seek out a prenatal paternity test simply to quell the rumors, Louisiana law pushed the matter.

In Louisiana, the law dictates that, "If the mother is married to someone other than the biological father when the child was conceived or has been divorced for less than 300 days at the time of birth, the husband/ex-husband shall be the presumed father, unless paternity is established for the biological father."

Blanchard officially filed for divorce from Anderson in April, but a copy of the DNA results she shared on Instagram showed that her legal name is still listed as "Gypsy Rose Anderson." Were the divorce still not finalized by the baby's expected arrival in January, the prenatal paternity test would come into play, allowing Urker's name to appear on the birth certificate.

Blanchard's busy year since release: Divorce, stardom and pregnancy

Blanchard, perhaps the most famous victim of a suspected case of Munchausen by proxy, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2016 for the murder of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. After serving seven of those years, she was released from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center prison Dec. 28, 2023.

Blanchard married 37-year-old Louisiana teacher Ryan Anderson in a jailhouse ceremony in July 2022 and the pair garnered attention thanks to Blanchard's quick rise to social media fame after her release. By March 2024, however, Blanchard announced the two had broken up and she was filing for divorce.

By late April, she was back with ex-fiance Ken Urker, who she had originally been engaged to in 2018 while still in prison. On July 9, Gypsy Rose announced her pregnancy with Urker via a YouTube video titled "I'm Pregnant, My Journey So Far," saying she was 11 weeks along and had a January 2025 due date.

Questions about paternity soon began to swirl, and Blanchard sat down with "Good Morning America" on July 12 to clarify that she left Anderson in mid-March, meaning it was impossible for the baby to be his.

"This is absolutely 100 percent Ken's baby. There was never any question of paternity," she said at the time. Rumors and questions continued to circle, however, prompting Blanchard to publicly share the results of the paternity test Tuesday.
