Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker's daughter will be front and center at their upcoming nuptials. 

The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up star and her fiancé revealed how 2-month-old Aurora will take part in their future wedding.

"She'll be our little flower girl," Ken exclusively told E! News' Will Marfuggi in a joint interview, with Gypsy chiming in that she could also be "the ring bearer."

As for when we can see Gypsy walking down the aisle? The couple—who first got engaged in 2018 but split in 2019 before reuniting in 2024 after Gypsy filed for divorce from ex Ryan Anderson—isn't in any rush.

"We are moving in that direction," Ken explained. "We don't have an exact date, but it definitely is at the forefront of our lives. It's something that we all want as a family, and eventually, we'll get there. So just stay tuned for that."

Until then, they're just focusing on adjusting to the spotlight with baby Aurora, especially with season 2 of Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up premiering March 10 on Lifetime.

Why Gypsy Rose Blanchard Felt "Relieved" To Be Having a Baby Girl

"We have a child to protect and are trying to navigate our choices of parenthood on top of the stress of the public eye," Gypsy told E!. "For example, for the first few weeks after she was born, the public was trying to get a photo of her by any means. We are not posting her face on social media. We said that a long time ago." 

Even with the mounting pressure, the 33-year-old—who welcomed Aurora in December, one year after her early release from prison where she was serving time for her role in her mom Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard's 2015 murder—stood by their decision.

"A lot of people were like, 'OK, show her," she recalled and she responded, "No, I'm the mother and y'all should respect that decision that we don't want to."

Gypsy and Ken emphasized that they would rather "put all that aside," however, and "really hone in on that family dynamic." And the reality star couldn't be more grateful for her village, especially her half-sister Mia Blanchard.

"Everyone's been very helpful," she added. "My sister just graduated nursing school. And she specializes in labor and delivery, so she knows a lot about babies."

Along with being a support for Gypsy, she's also Aurora's godmother.

"We have a huge support circle," she gushed, "and I think that Aurora is going to have a great life growing up. It's just about allowing her to be herself."

Now, read on for a look back at Gypsy and Ken's road to parenthood.

"The One"

Gypsy Rose Blanchard told E! News she knew Ken Urker was the one "probably the day I met him back in 2017."

At the time she was serving a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder for her role in the 2015 killing of her mom Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard.

Origin Story

The couple, who got engaged in 2018, even managed to create a festive atmosphere while Gypsy was incarcerated.

What She Said

They split up in 2019 but, as Gypsy noted, fate would come back to find them...

On the Outside

While Gypsy went on to tie the knot with teacher Ryan Anderson in 2022, she filed for divorce after less than two years of marriage. She and Ken reunited in the spring of 2024.

"We are together and in a wonderful place in our relationship," she told TMZ on April 30. "We know it is going to be a long road ahead but are excited for the future."
