Gypsy Rose Blanchard stuns fans with dramatic makeover post weight loss

Gypsy Rose Blanchard surprised fans on Friday with a bold new look in a recent Instagram post, showcasing her ongoing transformation following a 25-pound weight loss since giving birth to daughter Aurora in December.

The reality TV personality unveiled a new hairstyle featuring long, wavy blonde locks, a sharp departure from the short brunette bob she had been seen wearing as recently as Easter. 

Dressed in denim shorts and a plunging black leather top, Blanchard completed her outfit with white boots and layered gold chains, posing cheerfully alongside her partner, Ken Urker.

Blanchard's striking new look arrived just weeks after she first revealed her weight loss progress in April, sharing side-by-side photos that documented her journey. 

In January, she had attended the premiere of The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, wearing a black dress, while a more recent photo showed off her toned figure in casual attire, as per Daily Mail. 

In past statements, Blanchard has emphasized that her transformation was achieved through consistent exercise and yoga, not weight-loss medications as she wrote in January, "I bought small gym equipment for my home to start getting healthy. I never have used weight loss drugs.”

Moreover, her partner, Ken Urker, also took to social media to share a photo of the couple attending the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, marking another public appearance following their recent reconciliation.

The couple, who were previously engaged during Blanchard’s time in prison, reconnected after her split from husband Ryan Scott Anderson earlier this year.

Blanchard, a survivor of Munchausen by proxy abuse, was released from prison in December 2023 after serving eight years for her involvement in the 2015 murder of her mother, Claudine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. 

The case garnered national attention and inspired Hulu’s The Act.

In a recent interview with A&E True Crime, Blanchard reflected on motherhood and its impact on her life as she shared, “It’s made me a lot more mature. I’m a lot more mindful about my decisions because they affect [my daughter] as well.”

Furthermore, Blanchard also disclosed that her daughter’s name, Aurora, was inspired by the Northern Lights, a shared fascination between her and Urker during their early relationship.
