Chillicothe

In a post made to her private Facebook account on Thursday, Gypsy Rose Blanchard announced that she's separating from her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson, after a brief marriage that began in July 2022 while she was still incarcerated at Missouri’s Chillicothe Correctional Center for the second-degree murder of her mother, “DeeDee” Blanchard.

Immediately following Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s early release from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center in December, after serving 85% of her 10-year sentence for her role in the fatal stabbing of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard in 2015, she was caught up in a whirlwind of media attention, which she now says she regrets.

Brandon Novak, 35, of Chillicothe, was taken into custody Thursday at the 2024 U.S.

The pair wrote to each other for 14 months before Anderson met Blanchard at the Chillicothe Correctional Center, he said.

Gypsy Rose says her entire time in Chillicothe Correctional Center was devoted to earning early release, and that over the past decade, she’s experienced more freedom than she ever had in her life.
