RUMORS are swirling that newly freed Gypsy Rose Blanchard is pregnant with her first child.
Blanchard‘s followers on social media spun into a frenzy after her husband, Ryan Anderson, shared a cryptic Instagram post on Tuesday about his “little family.”
“Me and my little family cuddling together,” Anderson captioned a picture that appears to show his hand resting on Blanchard’s stomach.
Anderson’s followers quickly flooded the comment section with questions about the possibility that Blanchard may be pregnant.
“Is she pregnant?” one person commented in all caps.
A second wrote, also in all caps, “OMG there is no f**king way she is pregnant,” along with a sob emoji.
“I hope she’s pregnant and he isn’t just talking about her and the dog,” another said.
A fourth person wrote, also in all caps, “Nah nah nah nah nah wait a damn minute is she pregnant?”
The pregnancy rumors come after Blanchard briefly wiped her social media accounts in early February.
Blanchard, 32, was in the limelight of the media after her release from prison in December 2023.
Blanchard served seven years of her 10-year sentence after pleading guilty in July 2016 to second-degree murder for the death of her mother, Claudine “Dee Dee” Blanchard.
‘DEE DEE’ BLANCHARD’S MURDER
On the night of June 10, 2015, Blanchard, who was 23 at the time, let her then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, whom she met online, in her home while Dee Dee was asleep.
Investigators said Blanchard handed her then-boyfriend duct tape, gloves, and a knife and hid in the bathroom as Godejohn stabbed Dee Dee 17 times in the back as she slept.
Police in Green County, Missouri, about 17 miles northwest of Springfield, found dead Dee Dee face down in her bedroom with no signs of Blanchard at the home.
Blanchard and GodeJohn were eventually found a day later, 600 miles away in Wisconsin.
Investigators learned that after meeting on a Christian dating site in 2012, Blanchard and Godejohn had conspired to kill her mother, whom she accused of being abusive.
She admitted to investigators that she was in the house at the time of the murder and knew Godejohn was going to kill her mother and did nothing to stop it, according to court documents.
Up until her arrest, investigators learned Blanchard was the victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy – a form of child abuse that involves a parent or guardian exaggerating or inducing illness to gain attention.
Dee Dee claimed to doctors and neighbors that her daughter was suffering from chronic conditions, including leukemia, asthma, and muscular dystrophy, among other ailments.
The mother convinced those around her, including doctors, that her daughter needed a wheelchair to get around.
During a jailhouse interview with ABC 20/20 in 2018, Blanchard told the outlet that she knew she didn’t have certain illnesses.
“There are certain illnesses that I knew I didn’t have,” Blanchard said as she was serving her 10-year sentence.
“She [Dee Dee] physically chained me to the bed and put bells on the doors and told … anybody that I probably would’ve trusted that I was going through a phase and to tell her if I was doing anything behind her back,” she claimed.
Her story was conveyed on the HBO Max documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest.
A six-hour Lifetime special, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, featuring interviews with Blanchard from prison, was released in January.
Godejohn is currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of murder in 2019.
