Read our privacy policy Gypsy Rose Blanchard has admitted she’s devastated that her late mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, will never meet her baby. Gypsy Rose Blanchard says she’s ‘heartbroken’ her mother won’t know her daughter “My response to them is that Kristy has become more of a mother to me than my own mother was,” Blanchard said, referring to her stepmother Kristy Blanchard. “Kristy is going to be grandma.” As for the social media users that have questioned her mothering abilities ever since she announced her pregnancy on YouTube in July, Blanchard doesn’t believe the public should have any opinion or comment at all. Maybe a few are, but when it happens, you’re kind of like, ‘Am I really ready for this right now?’” she explained, adding: “I don’t have concern of any kind that my trauma from the past will affect my ability to parent.” Blanchard also credited all the women she has in her life – including Kristy and the mother of her boyfriend, Ken Urker – as her role models.
