Gypsy Rose Blanchard

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the captivating figure known for her story of resilience, has expressed her openness to joining the cast of a future season of “Dancing With the Stars.” During her recent appearance on iHeartRadio’s “MisSPELLING” podcast with Tori Spelling, Blanchard shared her thoughts about potentially stepping into the spotlight of reality TV competition shows, including the beloved dance series. At 33, Blanchard is navigating life after parole, having been released from prison in December 2023. She served nearly eight years of a ten-year sentence for her involvement in the tragic murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Now, with her parole behind her, she is looking forward to new opportunities and experiences. When asked about the possibility of competing on “Dancing With the Stars,” Blanchard candidly admitted, “I feel like I’m not talented with anything. I can’t sing, I can’t dance.” However, Tori Spelling, who has her own experience as a contestant on the show, quickly countered her self-doubt. She encouraged Blanchard’s stepmother, Kristy, to weigh in, and Kristy affirmed, “She’s got some moves, girl. She’s got personality for dance, so she’s got it.” Despite her reservations about her dancing abilities, Blanchard acknowledged that she has never been approached by the show before. “I mean, I never put myself out there in that way. I was always trying to pick projects that focused on sharing my story,” she explained. This revelation caught Spelling by surprise, leading her to offer to contact the producers of “Dancing With the Stars” on Blanchard’s behalf. “You’re going to do Dancing with the Stars. It’s a pass on Masked Singer,” Spelling declared, showcasing her enthusiasm for Blanchard’s potential participation. Blanchard’s journey to this point has been marked by significant personal growth. With her parole officially concluded on June 26, she expressed her excitement about being a “free woman to the max.” She emphasized her commitment to moving forward with her life, focusing on motherhood and the opportunities ahead. “Nobody got anywhere in life by keeping on looking in the rearview mirror,” she stated. In addition to exploring the world of reality TV, Blanchard is also contemplating furthering her education. She has expressed a keen interest in pursuing a cosmetology license, indicating that she has looked into schools in New Orleans. “I’ve always had an interest in hair, makeup, nails. So I would love to do something with a cosmetology license,” she shared. Blanchard’s personal life is also blossoming. She recently rekindled her romance with ex-fiancé Ken Urker, and the couple is excited to start a new chapter together. “After reconnecting earlier this month, we realized that our love for each other is simply undeniable, and life is too short to not take a chance,” she told TMZ. With plans to move in together and travel freely now that her parole restrictions have lifted, Blanchard is embracing her new life with enthusiasm. Looking ahead, she is eager to create lasting memories with Urker, including a vacation to the beach. “This week, I can move in with Ken, and we could be a full-time family. We can go on vacation anywhere, have no restrictions,” she teased. As Gypsy Rose Blanchard navigates her newfound freedom and contemplates her future in entertainment, fans are left wondering what the next chapter holds for this resilient woman. Whether she takes to the dance floor or pursues her passion for cosmetology, one thing is clear: Blanchard is determined to make the most of her second chance at life.
