Gypsy Rose Blanchard is not keeping her new relationship in the dark.
After filing for divorce from estranged husband Ryan Anderson, the 32-year-old has rebounded with ex-fiancé Ken Urker, but she's making it clear her new relationship isn't just some fling.
"We have remained friends even though we had broke up back in 2019," Gypsy told E! News in an exclusive interview May 1. "Even if it's at a distance. So it wasn't until I'm going through my divorce that we have reconnected." (For more with Gypsy, tune in to E! News tonight, May 2 at 11 p.m.)
And Gypsy—who was engaged to her ex-fiancé from October 2018 to August 2019—is planning on rebuilding what she had with Ken this time around.
As she put it, "We're both very hopeful for what the future has in store."
After her release from nearly nine years in prison for involvement in the murder of her mother Claudine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, Gypsy is still navigating a life of total freedom, and the spotlight. And while some of these everyday challenges will be documented in Lifetime's upcoming Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup docuseries out June 3, she's continuing to evolve.
"I think the biggest lesson that I have learned is take your time," she added of her life now. "I was trying to rush everything when I got out of prison."
And as for what she's reminding herself these days?
"Just take your time and enjoy," she continued. "Enjoy the new experiences. Enjoy life. Take it and breathe it in."
And it appears Gypsy is doing everything she can to do just that. In addition to rekindling her old flame, she's also shared glimpses at her transformation, which included undergoing cosmetic surgery and dying her hair.
"I love my new look," she gushed. "The blonde gave me a little bit of an ego boost. Blondes have more fun."

"People have been asking what is going on in my life," she wrote in a statement on her private Facebook page, according to People. "Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou."
Days later, Gypsy was spotted out with her ex-fiancé Ken Urker. He said that the two are "just hanging out as friends."
Gypsy underwent a rhinopasty and septoplasty (nose job) April 5, 2024. Her physical transformation is set to be documented on Lifetime's Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up in summer 2024.
