Gypsy Rose Blanchard is engaged to a man she has met as part of a pen pal program, according to reports

Since its premiere in March, the Hulu series L & # 39; act revived interest in the history of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. But although the series is based on a dark and tragic true story, there is some positive news regarding one of the real-life topics. According to new reports of publications like In weekly contact and PeopleGypsy Rose Blanchard is engaged to a man she met as part of a correspondence program while serving her 10-year sentence. (Bustle asked Blanchard to comment on the report, but did not receive an immediate response.)

As reported by People, a friend of the family named Fancy Micelli (E! News and In touch spelled his last name as "Macelli", so we do not know for now what is accurate) claimed that Blanchard had recently told his loved ones that she was betrothed. Fancy told the couple's magazine: "They are very happy.You can hear excitement in his voice." And while she said that Blanchard's family did not meet the man, she claimed that they approved of him and talked to him on the phone and online. She also did not reveal her name, out of respect for Blanchard.

Fantasy says People"[This relationship] It's a good thing for her. And if it ends up being that way in the end, no one knows it, but for her, the moment is very positive and happy. "According to the magazine report, Blanchard's fiancé wrote to him for the first time after watching the HBO documentary, Mom dead and dear. The two women became correspondents and have known each other for a year and a half, but they would have waited for her release to get married.

according to In weekly contactinterview with the same family friend, "he started writing to her, then visiting her, they just grew up to have a relationship … They take it slowly, they do not know exactly what they're going to do when she goes out .It's a long way on the road, obviously, so things can change. "

For those who have not watched Mom dead and dear or L & # 39; actHere's some basic information: Blanchard is currently in jail after pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of his mother, Dee Dee, whom she orchestrated with a boyfriend met online, Nicholas Godejohn. Godejohn was sentenced to life imprisonment for first degree murder.

As reported by Rolling stone, experts believe that Dee Dee had a Munchausen syndrome by proxy, which has been clbadified as a form of child abuse in which a guardian causes or constitutes an illness in a person in his charge. In the case of Blanchard, her mother Dee Dee reportedly told her that she was suffering from several illnesses and made her use a wheelchair (although she could walk).

This is an undeniably complicated and heartbreaking case, but based on the comments given to People and In touchit looks like Blanchard is working on rebuilding his life. Fantasy says People"She is 27 years old, she deserves to be in love and to have someone who cares for her.He's just there for her."

Although it is not clear whether Blanchard will speak publicly about mission reports or whether she will keep the details to herself, since her life has already been seen by the public, it would make sense that she keep some aspects out of the spotlight.
