Interview with Rare Pink Gypsy Prison reveals details about marriage and relationship drama

Gypsy Rose Blanchard opens on everything related to marriages and relationship dramas.

Gypsy, her fiancé, had an eventful year Ken and the rest of his family while they are preparing for a potential prison wedding. From the public announcement to the recent near-split, Gypsy Rose still has work to do – as can be imagined, the process of planning a wedding is a challenge in itself, but it's a whole different story when you're doing it behind bars.

Fortunately, Gypsy has found some time to talk to E! News exclusively about his love life and his plans for his future. And the future looks bright for the bride who is about to finish her GED and works as a photographer for the prison.

To know more about the girl who inspired L & # 39; act and the HBO Mom dead and dear, check out the Q & A below!

E!: How did you meet Ken for the first time?

G: He wrote me a letter of support after watching the HBO documentary Mom dead and dear back in 2017. In any case, I replied and very quickly, we just started writing every week. We became fast friends. Shortly after, we started talking on the phone. We spent hours on the phone. I spoke to him as if I had known him all my life and vice versa. It was not too late after that I sent him a visit form for him to come and visit me. He came and it was a funny story, but in the first thirty minutes he leaned over and offered me the most beautiful kiss of my life. It is therefore a prison visiting room, so that the level of physical contact allowed is limited to a grip, a brief hug and a kiss closed. The kiss that he gave me was passionate. I looked at it and said to myself, "I did not even know you liked me like that," and he said, "Yes, it's been a while since I love him." . And I thought, "Me too, for a while."

We just talked a bit more about it and of course the insecurities were there. You do not want to start a relationship when you are X years in prison. This seems a little unfair to the other person. He said to me, "I want to be a support in your life" and I am the first girl to whom he has ever said, "I love you too". And I sincerely believe it with all my heart because I recently met his mother. She told me the whole story of how he talked about me and the fact that he has never talked to a girl like this before. She sort of called that. She said, "You love this girl," and he said, "No, she's just my best friend." It was only during this visit that everything came out and we shared our feelings for each other.

She is a friend and totally supports our relationship. She was the first person to see my documentary before him and she told him to watch the documentary. She has always supported me.

E!: What do your father and Kristy think of your relationship with Ken?

G: They support him a lot. Kristy and Ken have been friends on Facebook for two years now. Since I started talking with Ken, I said to Kristy, "Hey, friend of this guy on Facebook, we're really good friends right now." They've known each other for a while. Well, my dad, not so much, this tour was the first time that they could talk. It was a wonderful moment because Ken looked at my father and said, "You know, I really love your daughter and I have the best intentions with her and I really want to marry her and I would like to your blessing. My father turned to him and looked at me and looked back. He said, "Welcome to the family, I hope you can take care of her". Gave him the blessing and made me want to cry.

E!: How did Ken propose?

G: It was during a visit in October, it was a subject we had been discussing for a while, so it was not a surprise. We reacted to this idea, we have a pretty solid project and we are convinced that it is what we want. So, during the October visit, he held my hands tight and told me how much I counted for him and he said: "I would be really honored if I could get you marry, "and I said yes.

E!: Can you describe the alliance?

G: It was a money group. I do not have it anymore, it has been confiscated.

He has bought me a new one because we come and go between us if we are going to have a wedding ceremony in it. So, if we decide to organize the small ceremony inside, we will have both. So, it's not like being cheated while wearing the dress, or that my dad would not walk me down the aisle, I would have it outside when I get home.

It was announced that we were getting married in January, but for now, we have put this on hold. We are still engaged, but we have suspended the prison ceremony until we can make a decision together about it.

E!: So, if you agree to do it while you're behind bars, what does it look like? What does it look like?

G: it would be just something very small in the visiting room. They perform the ceremonies in the visiting room. He is allowed to bring the rings. We have the right to make our own written wish, we are entitled to four guests. His mother, Kristy and my father would probably be there, and that's about it. It's very intimate, it's very small. They do not do anything extravagant for a wedding in prison.

E!: What would the marriage look like outside? How do you envision this?

G: I think I understand what every woman is thinking about her marriage. I've always wanted in my mind an outdoor ceremony, possibly in a gazebo. I asked Ken to subscribe to a wedding magazine so I could watch dresses and stuff. I do not want a doll dress, I think I want something nice but not too much, too much. And all our friends and family invited.

E !: Do you have any idea what your wedding dress would look like?

G: Silky with probably a lot of bling. I watch Say yes to the dress quite often, and I like dresses that are kind of sleeves with capes. I do not need to shoot too long, I am small and I push 5 feet. So, something simple, but elegant.

E!: What does your father think of getting married as long as you are still inside?

G: I told him about it and he said that he preferred us to wait until my release. However, he said: "You are an adult girl, you are my daughter, I support you in everything you want to do." I know, no matter what I have his blessing, but, just like a paternal opinion, he would prefer that we wait.

E!: How do you feel about this? Why was there a definitive wedding date in 2020 and now you are not so sure?

G: This was due to the fact that we needed a personal break. We are always a couple, we just took a short break to focus on our personal growth, whether it's a week or a month to do it, just to enlighten a little and come back stronger together. In the current state of things, we are still engaged. We are simply trying to determine what works best for us, how to include our families so that our families do not feel excluded.

E!: What are the unique challenges you face as a couple?

G: Well, I've been in the public eye for a while now. Since my case was made public four years ago, it has been an endless race for me in the roller coaster of media hunting. I am always in a form or a fashion on television. Being in the public eye, as well as the long distance nature of our relationship, is definitely a challenge. But, as an inmate, we have to deal with times when we go lock-down and I can not call him on the phone. Recently, our particular installation set up a 15-minute telephone timer once per hour. While there are two months, they did not have a timer. You can talk 5 hours permanently on the phone. Believe me, I would spend hours on the phone talking to Ken. We would have an appointment on the evening of his day off. But since [the new rules] have been put in place, this has created tensions in our relationship, because we have to deal with the difference in communication, just as it is a distance relationship. Because of his place of residence, he can come and visit me every three months or so.

It's hard, but it's worth it. At the present time, we are simply trying to go through the adjustment period, talking for hours to 15 minutes per hour. We tried to adapt to it and I tried to stay positive. So that's the big problem with a prison relationship. have good constant communication.

Everything in our relationship has gone very well. We do not fight, we discuss our problems. He is very understanding, very supportive, very easy to speak. He is not one of those who will say to himself, "It's your fault." He is very sensitive to my emotions, especially because I am in prison, my emotions are a little exacerbated with me. Then, this unexpected thing happened with the limitation of phone calls. I say, "I do not know what I'm supposed to do," and he says, "I do not know what I'm supposed to do," and it's set us on the road.

E!: Is he still thinking of getting closer?

G: Yes. The move would be scheduled for next month. But due to financial obligations, the move was postponed early next year. Then he could come and visit me every weekend if he wanted to, we could spend physical time together. Our relationship, the majority, even though we had visits, was spaced out. If you spend 3 or 4 months without visiting, you are missing someone and it becomes difficult. At the same time, we share the same mutual desire to succeed. So, no matter what happens, we still have that strong foundation of being best friends because we were already best friends before becoming friends.

E!: Do you think children are in your future?

G: Yes definitely. We will probably not wait a year or two after my release. We want to allow ourselves this period of adjustment, so that we can have our big wedding ceremony, a honeymoon, spend time together, just like us, then work to start a family after that.

E !: Do you know how many children you want to have?

G: Probably two or three. My mother did not allow me to have a relationship with my half-brothers and sisters. So, growing up as an only child, I would like my child to have a brother and a sister and to have that bond.

E!: What are some of your other aspirations after your release?

G: I really want to stand up for abused children, especially those who have had vicarious Munchausen syndrome. I went there, it's where my passion is. I have a soft spot for children and I want to make a difference. Beyond my own happiness with marriage and children, I just want to be a model for others and try to make a positive difference in the world. If I share my story, by speaking publicly to various charities, wherever you are.

E !: Do you keep a journal of your experience?

G: No, my way of doing things is to press Ken. It has been my diary, I will send him an email every day or I will write him in a letter or talk to him on the phone to share my experience of what I live here. I escape a little to him and he releases me and he comforts me.

E !: Would you like to tell us a little bit about who Ken is as a person?

G: I think the most interesting thing about him is that you look at him and that you think he's probably your typical 26 year old guy. He's actually a bit of a nerd, so we like a lot of identical things, because I'm a nerd myself. J & # 39; Love the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter; we are particularly in love with Harry Potter. We are looking forward to going to the wizarding world of Harry Potter when I am free and one of those people who have a very kind heart. Recently, he was so cute, he was walking to work and he saw this dog in a car. The car had the windows rolled and the dog barked, barked, gasped and said to himself, "I can not leave this dog behind as I must call someone!" I am like, 'OK! & # 39; So I stayed on the phone with him until he called the police for the police to come check the dog and I say to myself, "Aww. It's nice, you'll save a dog you do not even know.

So, he has a very good heart. He wears his heart on his sleeve. And he is a big fan of sports, which is quite annoying for me because he always looks at football. I'm like: Oh my god. I was wondering why you would not marry the Dallas Cowboys instead. [laughs]

I am a fan of Saints because I am from New Orleans. So, it's my team and the Dallas Cowboys, it's up to him, even if he does not live there, he really loves Cowboys. So, every year they face each other, we make a bet, so it will be something like you lose, you have to do it or if I lose, you have to do it. Last year I lost [laughs].

E!: What was the bet?

G: It's personal [laughs].

E!: Is he an only child too?

G: No, he is one of five. He has a big family and me too. The side of my father is big enough, so the wedding will probably have a lot, a lot of guests.

I am relieved because many people here do not always have the support of their families. So I look at them and I look at myself and I'm really lucky to have the family that I do. Especially on his side also because I was very worried when we started going out together, because I was like: 'Oh my god, your family will think of me as if I'm going to get away with it. was in prison for murder! & # 39; And he said, "No, my mother watched the documentary and my grandmother watched the documentary, my grandmother, my brother, and everyone else watched it so that they knew your story and that they have a heart for you. " So, I did not have to explain everything, it was already known when I went into the picture.

E !: Do you think that at some point you would ask for early release?

G: It's something that my father is spearheading. He has a petition on Change.org for Gypsy Blanchard who already has 175,000 signatures? It was the last account.

In a final statement, Gypsy states, "I would just like to say that Ken and I are happy to be engaged, he is not only my fiance, but also my best friend. love and positivity in my life and I look forward to what the future holds together. "
