Life is coming full circle for Gypsy-Rose Blanchard.


The Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup star, 33, and her boyfriend Ken Urker welcomed a healthy baby girl on the same day Blanchard was released from prison one year ago. Their daughter, Aurora


Raina Urker, was born at 9:48 a.m. on Dec. 28 weighing 6 lbs., 5 oz., a representative for Blanchard tells PEOPLE.


Blanchard, a victim of Munchausen by proxy, spent eight years in prison for her role in the 2015 murder of her mother Dee Dee, who subjected her daughter to years of painful medical


procedures she never needed.


Urker, 31, announced Aurora's arrival on Jan. 1 by posting an Instagram photo of Blanchard holding her in the hospital. "Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all 👼," he wrote in the


caption.

Earlier in December, Blanchard told PEOPLE the meaning behind their baby girl's name.


"Both of us have a fascination with the Northern Lights, and the proper term is the Aurora Borealis," said Blanchard, who was previously engaged to Urker in 2018 but then they split. "I


think it was maybe in 2018, we wrote each other's future kid's name on pieces of paper and Aurora is what we both picked without even knowing each other was picking it."

"After I'm off parole we're going to go," she said. "We're going to go to Sweden."


In July, Blanchard told PEOPLE that she and Urker both want their relationship to go the distance.


"[Ken and I] both come from divorced parents and one thing we absolutely agreed on from day one, even back when we were dating in 2017, is that when we have a child, we will stick together


for the long haul," she said. "This is a forever thing because we don't want our child to grow up in a broken home."
