Gypsy-Rose Blanchard reveals plans for IVF after daughter tests negative to rare genetic condition
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is sharing her reasons for choosing IVF as she and boyfriend Ken Urker plan for their next child. The 33-year-old, who welcomed daughter Aurora earlier this year, opened up about her family plans on Tori Spelling's podcast misSPELLING. 'I do, I do. But we will have to use IVF for our next one because the one medical condition that I actually do have, it's called microdeletion 1Q21.1,' Blanchard explains. 'So it's just a long word for I'm missing a small piece in each of my first chromosomes.' 'That is something that could potentially be passed down to every child that I have. Every child that I have has a fifty-fifty shot of having it,' Blanchard says. 'Aurora has been tested and she came back negative, thank God. So it was not passed to her. But as a preventative measure, we will go through IVF for our next one.' Spelling then asked Blanchard if she wants a boy now that she has her daughter. 'We do want a boy. One boy and one girl,' Blanchard says. 'Probably just two. I say that now. You never know what the future holds, but just two for now on the horizon.' According to the National Institute of Health in the US, Microdeletion 1Q21.1 is a chromosomal change that can increase the risk of delayed development, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities, and neurological and psychiatric problems. Back in April, Blanchard announced on Instagram that Aurora tested negative for the condition, writing, 'Great news about Aurora! We're overjoyed to share that our sweet girl, Aurora, has tested negative for the rare condition known as microdeletion 1q21.1. This result brings us such immense relief and gratitude. Thank you to everyone who's kept us in your thoughts — your support has meant the world.' In a statement to People Magazine at the time, Blanchard shared, 'I was so relieved to learn that my daughter didn't inherit my condition. I was tested in 2012 and was positive, and again last year in October and again came back positive. There was a 50-50 chance that she could have inherited it, so we got her tested and she came back negative; therefore, herself and her future children won't have to worry about getting the condition that I have. It stops with me.' 'We are so relieved to know that she is healthy and is meeting all of her developmental milestones perfectly,' the proud mum added.

Why Anne Burrell stepped down from hosting ‘Worst Cooks in America' before her demise
Anne Burrell passed away at the age of 55. Her family confirmed her death on Tuesday, calling her a 'beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend.' They said her 'warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.' Chef Anne Burrell left Worst Cooks in America in 2024, after hosting the show for 27 seasons since it began in 2010.(Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) Before her death, Burrell had taken a step back from TV. She left Worst Cooks in America in 2024, after hosting the show for 27 seasons since it began in 2010. Anne Burrell's break In March, she appeared on Tori Spelling's podcast, misSPELLING, where she talked about why she took a break. 'I can cook, yes, I can do TV, but also, what else? I've got more to do in my life, I feel like,' she said. Also Read: Anne Burrell's last selfie shocks fans as tragic clue emerges about her sudden death; 'This can't be true' She explained she had just started taking acting classes. 'Interestingly, I just started taking acting classes. I started yesterday, actually … It's like an improv for actors' class,' she said. 'I got there and it's like eight people in the class. I'm the oldest one. Every other person has like, 'Oh, I have a master's in fine arts in theater.'' She went on to stress that it was a new path for her. 'I'm like, 'OK, I've never taken an acting class. I don't know, this is new to me.' I wonder if these delightful and super talented kids look at me and they're like, 'What's this old lady doing here?'' she said. She added, 'I'm just dipping my toe' into acting and said, 'I feel very excited about it. I've got a few other things that I'm working on as well, which I'm not quite ready to share yet. Hopefully, exciting [are] things coming.' Anne Burrell and Stuart Claxton On the same podcast, she talked about getting married to Stuart Claxton in 2021 and becoming a stepmother to his son, Javier. They met in 2018 on Bumble. When Spelling asked if she waited on purpose to settle down, Burrell said, 'From when I was a kid, I don't know why, but I always was like, I am not getting married until I feel like I have something in life to share. Until I have accomplished stuff.' She described her 20s and 30s as being full of work and fun. 'I was like, living the rock star chef life. I was working a lot, and I had a great social life.' But later, she said, 'I just started to feel like, all right, you're getting a little old to keep on doing this.' About children, she added, 'Kids were never on my radar, really. I love being an aunt. I have nieces and nephews. So I'm like, [being a stepmom] is the perfect amount of parenting for me.' She talked about married life again a month later in an interview with the Daily Mail: 'October will be four years. It seems like it's been four minutes. I don't know if it's a honeymoon [phase] but I feel like it's settled into married life days which I really enjoy.' On Valentine's Day 2022, she posted, 'You make me the happiest girl in the world!!! I love you to the moon and back my sweet!!!' No official cause of death has been released yet. Police said they responded to a 911 call for cardiac arrest and found Burrell already deceased. A report from Thursday said her body was found next to dozens of pills. The case is still being investigated. Food Network released a statement after her death: 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring. Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.' 'Anne was bigger than life…' Beau MacMillan, who co-hosted the first season of Worst Cooks in America with Burrell, also spoke out. 'The news hit me like a gut punch. Anne was bigger than life, whether she was running a kitchen or filming a show, you knew she was in charge.' He added, 'One of the most beloved icons of our industry, she inspired millions of people. She was smart, talented and so much fun to be around. She has left us way too soon.'
