Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the 33-year-old star of “Life After Lock Up,” showcased her impressive weight loss transformation on social media. Last week, on April 13, she posted a mirror selfie on Instagram, where she casually dropped that she’s lost 25 pounds. The post included photos side by side showcasing her progress to an overall healthier lifestyle.
Blanchard’s major change of heart follows the birth of her daughter, Aurora, in December with her partner Ken Urker. In her announcement post on Instagram, she attributed the success of her recent weight loss to a “healthier” diet. Now that she’s diving headfirst into the joys and challenges of motherhood, Blanchard can’t wait to share her world with her daughter. She thinks that this link was absent in her own relationship with her mother.
During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Blanchard opened up about how special the mother-daughter bond is.
“I think despite my relationship with my mom, I think there is something special about a mother and daughter’s relationship that I am so blessed to be able to live through with her because I didn’t have that with my own mom.” – Gypsy Rose Blanchard
Her comments underscore the care she has shown understanding what a blessing Aurora is and forging an authentic bond. She said she was “so glad” to have given birth to a daughter. Now she feels better prepared to face the challenges of raising a girl.
“I kind of feel a little bit more relieved that we had a girl because I don’t know what to do with a little boy.” – Gypsy Rose Blanchard
It’s clear that Blanchard’s love for motherhood comes through in her whimsical take on raising kids. She proudly stated,
“I’m a girly girl myself, so all the pink and ruffles and stuff like that, that’s my area of expertise.” – Gypsy Rose Blanchard
The beautiful response from fans overwhelmed her comments section, with many assuring her that they will always support her health journey. As one fan said, “Healthy and happy looks good on you,” and another third her complimenting saying, “You look beautiful. That kind of encouragement highlights the incredible, life-affirming change Blanchard’s metamorphosis has brought to her fans.
In addition to celebrating her weight loss, Blanchard encapsulated her new outlook on life with the phrase:
“New year, new mom, new haircut, new me.” – Gypsy Rose Blanchard
As she develops as a mother and a woman, Blanchard tackles these challenges with raw honesty. She is deeply passionate about producing a caring home for Aurora. She is passionate about creating a positive relationship with her daughter. Her ongoing effort to live a healthier lifestyle serves as the perfect role model for her countless fans and supporters.
