“And I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks pregnant.” More in the video, Blanchard expresses her excitement for this new phase of her life. “Ken and I are expecting our very first child come January of 2025,” she shares, her voice filled with joy.
“This was not planned at all, it was completely unexpected, but we're both very excited to take on this new journey of parenthood.”
“I know that there are going to be people who feel like I'm not ready to be a mother,” she shared later in the video, “and I don't know if anyone's really ready to be a mother.”

She then became emotional about the chance to be a loving mother to her child. “All the things that I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby,” she expressed, wiping away her tears. “I am a mother now, I am happy, and I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn't.”
In May, the former inmate and Munchausen by proxy victim told People about rekindling her romance with Ken Urker. While serving time in prison for her role in the killing of her mother, Blanchard started a relationship with Urker, who initially began as her pen pal.

Urker proposed in 2018, but their relationship ended years before her release from prison in 2023. At the time of her release, Blanchard was married to Ryan Anderson, whom she had wed while still incarcerated.
“Ken and I reconnected as friends. It wasn't like, jump out of a marriage and then let me meet up with you, and boom, we're in a relationship,” she clarified.
