As reported by Biography, Gypsy Rose Blanchard admitted she was happy to be "out of that situation." However, she said she is "not happy [her mother] is dead." She also said she has more freedom in prison than she ever had under her mother's care. For the first time in decades, she was allowed to grow out her hair, eat regular food, and walk without any assistance.

According to KMBC, Rose will be released on December 28, 2023. E! reports that she has made the best of her time while incarcerated. Through programs offered at the prison, she developed a keen interest in photography and cosmetology. Gypsy's stepmother, Kristy Blanchard, said Gypsy often volunteers to take photos of her fellow inmates and also enjoys doing makeup and learning about skincare. Gypsy also participates in a program that partners inmates with dogs.

In addition to learning a variety of new hobbies, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is working toward earning her GED and developing some essential life skills. Kristy said prison has actually had a positive impact on her stepdaughter, because "it gave her structure, and discipline and she can have a social setting, and she can learn things, and she can get an education." She also believes Gypsy has learned that her actions can have serious consequences.

The Daily Mail reports Gypsy Rose Blanchard is currently engaged to a man named Ken, who she met via mail while incarcerated. Gypsy said they plan to marry following her release.
