Gypsy Rose Blanchard Declines to Share Daughter’s Photo
On New Year’s Day, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her partner, Ken Urker, joyfully announced the arrival of their daughter.
In a heartwarming Instagram post, Urker shared a hospital photo featuring the three of them moments after her birth.
“Start 2025 with the best gift imaginable,” he captioned the picture.
In a previous interview with People, Blanchard praised Urker for selecting the name Aurora Raina, describing, “There’s a whole backstory to it.”
She mentioned to People in December that she and Urker shared a fascination for the Northern Lights during their prior relationship years ago.
“The correct term is the Aurora Borealis,” she added.
In a recent announcement, Blanchard confirmed the name of their daughter.
However, in the same note shared on Instagram Stories, Blanchard addressed those requesting a glimpse of their newborn.
“To everyone asking, no, I will not be sharing pictures of Aurora,” the 33-year-old new mother stated. “I recognize everyone’s excitement and we truly appreciate the support, but we prioritize the privacy and safety of our daughter. We continue to express our gratitude to our supporters and thank you for following our journey.”
Blanchard first revealed she was expecting Urker’s baby in July through a YouTube announcement.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Blanchard expressed her desire to provide her child with everything her own mother failed to give her.
“My mother never wanted me to experience the milestones that every child should achieve, such as going on a first date, attending prom, or enjoying a bike ride. All the small milestones that make life meaningful, I was deprived of,” she explained. “Thus, I want my child to have every opportunity for happiness life can offer.”
