Gypy Rose Blanchard is celebrating another milestone in motherhood.
One week after announcing that she and her boyfriend Ken Urker are expecting their first child together, the 32-year-old posted a video of their baby's heartbeat.
In the video, Gypsy lies in bed while using an at-home fetal Doppler to hear the heartbeat. And she couldn't help but gush while the sound played, "There it is!"
"Hearing our baby's heartbeat with a home doppler," she explained in the July 16 Instagram caption and asked followers to "leave your gender predictions on my poll."
Gypsy first shared the news of her pregnancy in a July 9 YouTube video, three months after filing for divorce from Ryan Anderson.
"I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant," Gypsy said. "Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025. We're both very excited."
Gypsy and Ken, who were previously engaged in 2018, rekindled their romance following her split from Ryan. And although the Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up star is over the moon about becoming a mom, she also has a message for anyone critical of her personal life.
"I know that there are going to be people that feel like I'm not ready to be a mother," she noted. "And I just don't know if anyone is really ready to become a mother. I don't know anybody that said, 'OK, I'm ready. I'm doing this.'"
For Gypsy—who, in December, completed her second-degree murder sentence for the 2015 homicide of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard—learning she was pregnant shifted her perspective on life and her priorities.
"All that matters is making sure that I'm healthy, the baby is healthy, my relationship with Ken is healthy," she reflected. "It's not about you. It's not about anything other than the tiny little life that's inside you, that you are now in charge of protecting."
And Gypsy—who previously spoke about the abuse she experienced from her mother—wants to give her child a better life.
"I'm happy," she emphasized. "I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn't."
Now, keep reading for more of Gypsy and Ken's sweetest moments.
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard told E! News she knew Ken Urker was the one "probably the day I met him back in 2017."
At the time she was serving a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder for her role in her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard's 2015 death.
The couple, who got engaged in 2018, even managed to create a festive atmosphere while Gypsy was incarcerated.
They split up in 2019 but, as Gypsy noted, fate would come back to find them...
Following Gypsy Rose's decision to divorce teacher Ryan Anderson after less than two years of marriage, she and Ken reunited in the spring of 2024.
"We are together and in a wonderful place in our relationship," she told TMZ on April 30. "We know it is going to be a long road ahead but are excited for the future."
Cloudy skies couldn't put a damper on the rekindled couple's mood.
Gypsy likes it when this Ken is all up in his feelings.
Whatever he said had Gypsy beaming.
Smiling for the camera.
Gypsy Rose shared a collage of some of her and Ken's most adorable moments a few weeks before revealing she's pregnant with their first child together.
She noted that their baby is due in January 2025.
