Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reveals 25-Pound Weight Loss 3 Months After Giving Birth to First Baby
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is celebrating good news for her baby girl.
After welcoming daughter Aurora Raina Urker with fiancé Ken Urker in December, the Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star admitted there was one trait she did not want to pass along to her infant—and fortunately, it appears the 4-month-old is in the clear.
“We're overjoyed to share that our sweet girl, Aurora, has tested negative for the rare genetic condition known as microdeletion 1q21.1,” Gypsy Rose wrote in a post on Instagram April 23, adding that she and Ken felt “such immense relief and gratitude.”
The health abnormality—which the reality star described having in her 2024 memoir My Time to Stand—is described as a chromosomal change that causes a small portion of chromosome 1 to be deleted in each cell, which “increases the risk of delayed development, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities and neurological and psychiatric problems,” according to the National Institute of Health’s MedlinePlus.
Gypsy Rose, 33, went on to note that her little one “is happy, healthy and growing beautifully at 4 months old,” adding, “We’re looking forward to cherishing every moment with her, with lighter hearts and hopeful spirits.”

The former inmate—who was released from prison in December 2023 after serving eight years for her role in the murder of her mother Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard—is also cherishing every moment of her own life, having recently shared that she’s lost 25 pounds since giving birth. Plus, she and Ken are slowly working towards a walk down the aisle, though they’re in no hurry.
“We are moving in that direction,” he told E! News in March. “We don't have an exact date, but it definitely is at the forefront of our lives. It's something that we all want as a family, and eventually, we'll get there. So just stay tuned for that.”
