Gypsy Rose Blanchard Shares Emotional Moment Her Daughter Said 'Mommy' for the First Time and What It Means to Her After Murder Conviction

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is embracing every stage of motherhood.

The social media influencer, 35, took to her Instagram on Monday, August 17, and shared a cute clip of her 19-month-old daughter, Aurora, saying the word "mommy."

The video featured Aurora's blurred face as slow music played in the background. It also showed the tot growing over the last few months.

"She'll never know how much healing was in the that one little word 'Mommy,'" Blanchard wrote in the video.

Blanchard welcomed Aurora in December 2024 with boyfriend Ken Urker.

"For so much of my life, the word 'Mommy' carried a meaning that was complicated and painful for me. I knew motherhood would give that word a new meaning, but I don’t think I was prepared for what it would feel like to actually hear my daughter call me 'Mommy' 🥹," Blanchard heartwarmingly penned in the caption.

She continued: "I carried her, brought her into this world, and have had the privilege of watching her grow into this beautiful little person. At 19 months old, hearing that tiny voice finally say 'Mommy' hit a place in my heart I can’t fully explain."

"Motherhood has given me the opportunity to experience that word from the other side, to make it mean love, safety, comfort, patience, and home," Blanchard wrote. "Some moments are bigger than they look. To everyone else, it may just be a new word. To me, it felt like healing."

Blanchard was arrested and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 2016 for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

In 2015, the Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up star secretly planned with her online boyfriend at the time, Nicholas Godejohn, to kill her mom. Nicholas stabbed the 48-year-old to death while Gypsy waited in the bathroom of her Springfield, Miss., home.

While Gypsy received a 10-year prison sentence, she was released on parole in December 2023 after serving eight years.

Dee Dee reportedly claimed Gypsy had many illnesses and disabilities that she didn't actually suffer from.

During her case, it was revealed that Gypsy was the victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which is a psychological disorder where a caretaker seeks attention and medical help for exaggerated symptoms of a child.

“I was desperate to get out of that situation,” Gypsy told People in 2024 about her home life.

She added that Dee Dee struggled with untreated mental illness, saying: "In hindsight I really wish someone could have seen the signs and helped [my mom]. Helping her would have helped me.”
