Gypsy Rose Blanchard has finally been released from prison. The court originally sentenced her to 10 years in prison in 2016. However, she served 8 years and was granted parole. Blanchard went to prison for being involved in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
The plot to murder Gypsy Rose Blanchard was not just her own. It was devised by her and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn. The Blanchard family’s neighbors always believed that Gypsy’s mother was a loving and caring woman. Dee Dee Blanchard never missed a step in taking care of her wheelchair-bound daughter. Furthermore, she made sure to protect Gypsy from all walks of life.
After Dee Dee’s murder, investigators shockingly learned that Gypsy Rose Blanchard neither suffered from any chronic illness nor was wheelchair-bound. She was perfectly healthy. However, according to the Springfield News-Leader, it was Dee Dee who had a psychological disorder known as Munchhausen syndrome by proxy. This condition makes the caretaker make someone ill on purpose or makes everyone around them believe that a person is severely ill.
Officials discovered the bloodied body of Dee Dee Blanchard on June 14, 2015. Nicholas Godejohn stabbed her 17 times which resulted in her death. After taking Dee Dee’s life, Nicholas and Gypsy fled.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is currently married to a Louisiana-based teacher named Ryan Anderson. According to Distractify, they plan to live together following Gypsy’s release.
When did Gypsy Rose Blanchard get married?
Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson tied the knot in 2022. After getting married, Gypsy announced that the couple was deeply in love. However, sometime after they married, their relationship began getting sour. During her time in prison, Gypsy was in several relationships over time.
Ryan Scott Anderson operates from Lake Charles, Louisiana. Four months into their marriage, Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced that she and her husband were going to split.
She wrote a letter to her family that read, “It is with a heavy heart that this morning I made a decision to go ahead and file for annulment and end my marriage with Ryan. My marriage ends with no fault to either of us. I believe we are just in different places in our lives, and find it too difficult to walk a path together, at this point.”
After this announcement, Bachelor star Josh Seiter sent flirtatious emails to her. However, Gypsy and Ryan reconciled. A friend of Blanchard’s named Vickie Lewis stated, “We are fully aware of Joshua Seiter contacting Gypsy. We want him to know that her husband, family, friends and loved ones are fully prepared to support her in every way. She doesn’t need a man because she is happily married to Ryan and in love. She is very busy preparing for her pending parole.”
The letter further stated, “She does not need the distractions. He is still attempting to email her and needs to know he will not get another response. He will not be allowed to visit and has been blocked so he need not try. In other words, she has no need for him to contact her again.”
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was born in 1991. She is currently 32 years old.
