Blanchard, 33, who served eight years in prison for the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, announced in July that she is expecting a child with her current boyfriend, Ken Urker, 31. In August, they revealed they were expecting a daughter.
Since Blanchard remains legally married, her estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, was required to take a DNA test to confirm the baby’s paternity. Without this step, a little-known Louisiana law could have resulted in Anderson, rather than baby daddy Urker, being listed as the father on the birth certificate.
After the test confirmed Urker was the father, the couple celebrated their baby shower in Louisiana over the weekend. There, they shared their excitement about the upcoming birth of their child.
“Ken and I were so excited to have a beautiful celebration that our daughter Aurora Raina Urker can look back on and see how our community welcomed and embraced her with love,” Blanchard told People.
“She will be supported and given all the happiness a child should experience,” she added.

Dipped’ by Ryder provided an array of sweets, including pink-and-white dipped Oreos, cake pops, and pretzels. Guests also enjoyed cookies from Sugar Mama Designer Cookies, one of which showcased a photo of the baby’s 4D ultrasound.

“I felt supported and happy,” she told People. Blanchard also told the outlet she was yearning for motherhood. She said she plans on “giving my daughter a happiness I never knew growing up.”
In July, Blanchard and Urker announced they were expecting their first child. This was just three months after she filed for divorce from her husband, Ryan Anderson. The couple had been engaged in 2018, but Urker ended the relationship with Blanchard in 2020. However, they rekindled their romance in April.
Meanwhile, as Blanchard enjoys her life as an author, TV personality, influencer, and mother-to-be, her other ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard.
