Those who have tuned into the many documentaries, reality shows, and even a movie featuring Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's journey know that her story is darkly unique. Today, the 33-year-old is out of prison and pregnant with her first child. And Gypsy recently enjoyed her first pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks in a video she shared via social media.
When Gypsy was a child, her mother Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard embellished, lied about, and potentially induced her daughter's medical conditions in a disturbing Munchausen syndrome by proxy case. Gypsy ultimately pleaded guilty in 2015 to second-degree murder for her role in her boyfriend killing Dee Dee. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison but was released early, in December 2023. And now, the mom-to-be is enjoying the simple pleasures in life.

In late August 2024, Gypsy-Rose posted a video on TikTok of herself taking her first sip of a PSL. "Good morning y’all! So today, I am going to get my first pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks," she said when sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle. Meanwhile, Ken Urker, her boyfriend with whom she is expecting her baby, was driving.
After Gypsy took a sip of her iced PSL, she exclaimed, “Oh, that’s good!”
“All right, I’ll try the hot one,” she added before taste-testing Ken's hot PSL. “I like the iced one better," she confessed. “Now, maybe if it was a cold day, the warm would be better, but it is Southern Louisiana, so I do like the iced better."
Anticipating pushback for drinking coffee while pregnant, the mom-to-be included a note in her TikTok caption. "DISCLAIMER Women who are pregnant are allowed to consume a maximum of 200 mg of caffeine per day," she wrote. "Caffeine is considered safe in moderation."

In the comments, TikTok users reacted to Gypsy's first PSL, with one writing, "I love seeing you experience new things ."
Another follower commented, "Oh girl, you're gonna have soooo many new awesome experiences~ ."
Someone else suggested, "Try the apple crips macchiato next!!" while a different TikTok user advised, "You have to try the mocha peppermint at Christmas❤️."
Since her prison release, Gypsy has documented several of her firsts on social media. She made her first visit to a Sephora store in May. That same month, she tried an In-N-Out burger for the first time.
