Gypsy Rose Blanchard fears the 'spark' with boyfriend Ken Urker is gone after welcoming baby girl
Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her boyfriend didn't seem to be on the same page when it comes to their relationship in Monday's season two finale of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up.
The reality star, 33 — who broke down in tears earlier this month because of the 'reputation war' with her ex-husband — lamented that things with her new guy weren't going so well.
'Everything is day by day right now, so we're just winging it,' she told the cameras.
She and boyfriend Ken Urker are not allowed to live together while she is still on parole.
'It's hard to kind of keep up a relationship whenever you're living in two separate places, and you've got schedules that interfere,' Blanchard explained.
And there are some communication issues between the two who share daughter Aurora, almost five months.
'I want cuddles. I want snuggles. I want words of affirmation,' she said in a confessional.
'For Ken, it's like he doesn't think about anything like that. I don't get it. You might feel love. Yeah, you love me, okay. You say you love me, but you don't show it,' she said.
As the new parents juggle their schedules and living conditions, one problem has been solved.
A DNA test proved that her ex-husband Ryan Anderson is not the baby's father, and the next step is to have his name removed from the little one's birth certificate.
Louisiana law states that if a child is born while the mother is married, or within 300 days of the divorce being finalized, the husband is presumed to be the father.
'Like, is it gone for you? Is that like the spark, the flame, the energy, you know what I'm saying,' she asked Ken. 'I think a lot of things has drained us,' she said.
'We need to have more communication. And I think that we both just need to open up more, about the realistic expectations of each other.'
In the episode, Blanchard revealed she and Urker had been 'intimate for the first time in a long time,' and were beginning to re-establish their connection.
Things seemed to be gong well on Tuesday, months after the finale was shot, as Blanchard posted a family photo on social media.
'Wandering the French Quarter with my two loves ❤️ Life doesn't get much better than this,' she wrote next to the sweet snap.
During a family trip to the zoo, Blanchard, who served eight years of a 10-year prison sentence for assisting in the murder of her mother, released a butterfly as a symbol of freedom as she will soon be off parole.
'When she's finally off parole, we can actually travel and go see more stuff,' Urker said.
'And she's been the best mother I could ever want for my child, and I'm super proud that I get to go on this journey with her,' he told the cameras.
'The three of us are experiencing life in an all-new way. It's been glorious. I love every minute of it. I'm the happiest I've ever been.'
Urker, who was spotted looking for engagement rings, said he planned to propose when her parole is completed, on her 'first day of true freedom.'
'It's about reassuring her that I'm committed to us,' he said about his plans to pop the question. 'There's nobody else I want to experience life with other than her.'

Blake Lively drops two claims against Justin Baldoni
The actress Blake Lively has attempted to withdraw two of the claims she made about director Justin have been engaged in a legal dispute since Lively sued Baldoni in December 2024 after they worked together on the film It Ends With Us, accusing him of sexual harassment and a smear legal team asked Lively to release her medical records, including therapy notes, as part of its defence against her claims she suffered "severe emotional distress and pain, humiliation, embarrassment", Variety said. Lively is trying to drop claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress, the publication added. The court will decide if it will dismiss the claims or compel Lively to hand over information related to her mental approached Baldoni's lawyers, who have declined comment. The BBC has also approached both parties for comment. Documents filed by Baldoni's legal team on Monday said: "Instead of complying with the Medical RFPs [Request for Proposal], Ms Lively's counsel recently advised us, in writing, that Ms Lively is withdrawing her [infliction of emotional distress] claims."They wrote that Lively had refused their "reasonable request that the withdrawal of such claims be with prejudice" opening up the possibility they could be refiled. Lively's lawyers told Variety Baldoni's filing was "a press stunt" and said her defence was "streamlining and focusing" her added: "The Baldoni-Wayfarer strategy of filing retaliatory claims has exposed them to expansive new damages claims under California law, rendering certain of Ms Lively's original claims no longer necessary. "Ms Lively continues to allege emotional distress, as part of numerous other claims in her lawsuit, such as sexual harassment and retaliation, and massive additional compensatory damages on all of her claims." In January this year, Baldoni counter-sued Lively and her husband, the actor Ryan Reynolds, on claims of civil extortion, defamation and invasion of and Baldoni have been locked in a dispute since It Ends With Us, which is an adaption of a best-selling Colleen Hoover novel, was released last the film Lively played the main character, Lily Bloom, a young woman who grew up witnessing domestic abuse, and winds up in the same position years singer Taylor Swift had been summoned to a US court last month, after it was alleged she encouraged Baldoni to accept script rewrites by for Swift said at the time "she was not involved in any casting or creative decision" and "never saw an edit or made any notes on the film".The subpoena was dropped about two weeks later, after Swift's legal team objected that the legal order amounted to an "unwarranted fishing expedition", Variety said.

The investigation, initiated at the behest of a senior official appointed during Donald Trump 's presidency, will focus on pardons granted to Biden family members and inmates on death row. pardons under scrutiny include those issued to Biden 's siblings James Biden, Frank Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, and their spouses, as well as his son Hunter Biden. The investigation will examine whether Biden 'was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means,' according to an email from the Justice Department's pardon attorney, Ed Martin. Ed Martin stated that he views the presidential pardon power as 'plenary,' but still believes the Biden pardons warrant scrutiny, despite a 2005 Justice Department memo finding it legitimate for a subordinate to use an autopen for the president's signature.

Twisted Uber driver-turned-flamethrower terrorist Mohamed Sabry Soliman's secret notes on hidden iPhone before attack
THE man suspected of a firebomb terrorist attack against peaceful Jewish protesters left secret notes on a hidden iPhone before the attack, according to court documents. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, allegedly threw Molotov cocktails and used a makeshift flamethrower at people gathered to raise awareness about Israeli hostages in Gaza - injuring 12 people. 7 7 Witnesses Soliman yelled "Free Palestine" as he used a converted garden sprayer as a flamethrower in the attack on Sunday. He appeared in court on Monday facing a raft of state counts - including 16 counts of attempted murder - and could face a whopping 624 years behind bars if convicted all-round. He has also been charged with a federal hate crime. In custody, he admitted that he had planned the attack for a year, waiting until after his daughter had graduated to execute it, according to the FBI. And now, it has emerged that he hid an iPhone at his house containing secret messages addressed to his family, the affidavit reveals. The device was hidden in a desk draw alongside a journal. Soliman's wife brought an iPhone 14 with her to Colorado Springs Police Office in the wake of the attack, which she said belonged to him. The content of the notes to his family is not known. In a shocking development, it was also revealed that Soliman had hoped to pull off a mass shooting - which was only thwarted because his immigration status meant he couldn't buy a gun. The suspect admitted to a detective he initially planned to gun down his targets, and had even taken a concealed-carry class where he learned how to fire a weapon. Horror vid shows man on FIRE after he 'purposely blew up car' in Amsterdam - days after Brit tackles knife 'terrorist' His US visa had expired - meaning he was unable to obtain a firearm, Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty said on Monday. Soliman also made a series of disgusting remarks to cops, the document shows. He told police that "he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead". He also said he would carry out the attack again if given the opportunity. The horrific fire attack happened at the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, where the group gathers weekly to bring attention to the hostages. 7 7 Soliman allegedly hid behind bushes near the mall and threw a Molotov cocktail into the crowd, burning himself in the process. After taking off his shirt and revealing that he had a bulletproof vest underneath, Soliman allegedly used the flamethrower and gasoline to set several people on fire. Video appeared to show him holding two clear bottles with a clear liquid in them as he yelled at onlookers. Twelve people were injured in the attack, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor, and thankfully nobody died. Around 30 peaceful demonstrators had gathered for a Run for Their Lives march, calling for the release of all of the hostages who remain in Gaza. The condition of those wounded range from minor to "very serious", emergency services said. The FBI said on Sunday: "As a result of these preliminary attacks, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism." Soliman's bond is set at $10 million. CHILLING FIND More than a dozen unlit Molotov cocktails were found near where Soliman was arrested, said the FBI. Inside his car, investigators found papers with the words "Israel," "Palestine," and "USAID." Soliman told authorities that he made the Molotov cocktails at home after researching on YouTube. "He stated that he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack," said the FBI. Soliman had been living in the US illegally after entering the country in August 2022 on a B2 visa that expired in February 2023, according to the Department of Homeland Security. 7 7 Soliman filed for asylum in September 2022 and was given a work authorization in March 2023 that had expired, DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. President Donald Trump blamed former President Joe Biden for the attack in a statement on Monday. "Yesterday's horrific attack in Boulder, Colorado, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED in the United States of America," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He came in through Biden's ridiculous Open Border Policy, which has hurt our Country so badly. He must go out under 'TRUMP' Policy. The attack comes after two Israeli Embassy staffers were killed at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC.
