Gypsy Rose Blanchard Reportedly Got Engaged While in Prison
Gypsy Rose Blanchard is reportedly engaged to a man she met while serving time for the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.
Gypsy’s family and friends are protecting the identity of her fiancé, who she met via a pen-pal program.
Today in Friday news no one saw coming, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is reportedly engaged. You know, Gypsy Rose? The subject of Hulu’s gritty new series The Act? Yep, her.
Sooooo, who is she engaged to and how did they even meet, considering Gypsy’s currently in prison for the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard? Welp, turns out, romance can bloom while you’re serving time.
In Touch initially broke the news of Gypsy’s engagement, with family friend Fancy Macelli telling the outlet, “She keeps him very private. We’re not going to release his name or anything like that, but she does have a fiancé. That’s something she wouldn’t have ever been able to do with her mom: be engaged.”
Macelli says Gypsy met her new man through a pen-pal program. “He started writing her and then visited her,” she explains. “They just grew to have a relationship ... They’re taking it slow. They don’t know exactly what they’re going to do when she gets out. It’s a long way down the road, obviously, so things can change.”
For now, the pair stay close by talking “at least several times a week, if not more” and also through IRL visits.
Macelli also confirms that Gypsy’s father, Ron Blanchard, and her stepmother, Kristy Blanchard, have formed a relationship with her fiancé through calls and emails: “They’re actually going to meet him next month,” she explains. “But they’ve been communicating with him for a long time through phone calls, emails, all of that.”
FYI, Gypsy is serving out a 10-year sentence at the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri for second-degree murder. She’ll be eligible for parole in 2024, right before she turns 33. Her former boyfriend Nick Godejohn pleaded not guilty to the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard but was convicted and sentenced to life in February.
