Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her boyfriend, Ken Erker, are set to return for season two of Lifetime’s Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup. The new season, which premieres on March 10th, promises to uncover the complexities of their relationship, including the birth of their baby girl, Aurora. In an interview, the couple opens up about their new life together, parenthood, and the challenges they face.

Gypsy Rose and Ken discuss their experience with their newborn daughter, Aurora, expressing how much it has changed their lives. “It brings a whole new meaning to life,” Gypsy says, clearly embracing her new role as a mother. She describes Aurora as a “daddy’s girl,” sharing how Ken gets the best burps from their daughter, which gives a heartwarming glimpse into their bond as parents.

However, the couple’s relationship isn’t without complications. Gypsy’s ex-husband, Ryan Anderson, plays a pivotal role in season two. Because Gypsy and Ryan’s divorce was not finalized at the time she became pregnant with Aurora, Ryan is legally considered the presumed father under Louisiana law. This leads to a paternity test to confirm the true father. Despite Ryan’s doubts, Ken is confident about his paternity. “I knew the entire time I was the father,” Ken says, explaining that he understood the timeline and had no doubt about it.

While Ryan has expressed hope that Gypsy might return to him, the relationship between Gypsy and her ex-husband is, at this point, over. “We have ended amicably,” Gypsy explains. “I feel like there’s still far too much healing for us to attempt to even communicate,” she adds, signaling that there’s no chance of reconciliation.

As the conversation shifts to their daughter, Gypsy addresses the sensitive topic of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, and the circumstances surrounding her death. Dee Dee’s tragic murder at Gypsy’s hands is part of the complex history Gypsy will one day need to explain to Aurora. Gypsy acknowledges that explaining this to their daughter will be difficult and plans to seek help from a child therapist when the time comes. “I knew my future kids were going to have to be told about it someday,” she says. The hope is that with professional guidance, Aurora can understand the complexities of the situation in a way that is appropriate for her age.

When asked about marriage, Gypsy shares that it’s still something she believes in. Despite the trauma of her past, including the events that led to her incarceration, she remains a “hopeless romantic.” She expresses that marriage is on the table and something they are working toward as a couple. “It’s definitely on the horizon for us,” she says, signaling that the couple’s ultimate goal is to marry and build a future together.

The second season of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup promises to offer a deeper look into Gypsy and Ken’s evolving relationship, the challenges they face, and the life they are trying to build post-incarceration. The couple’s journey is one of redemption, healing, and hope for the future.
