Mia and Gypsy's relationship
Despite being half-siblings, Mia and Gypsy share a unique sisterly bond. She often advocates for her sister, claiming that she deserved jail time for her mistake but also that her sentence was too long.
In The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a Lifetime documentary Mia said,
“I feel sorry Gypsy didn’t get the life that I got to live. I got to grow up with a loving father and a loving mother, I got to grow up going to school with my friends, hanging out with my friends, learning to do all these things and she never had that. That was taken away from her by her mother.”
Mia does not shy away from accepting that Gypsy deserved jail time for her crime but she also says how proud she is of her sister's growth since then. Mia said:
“I feel like Gypsy finally is finding herself, finding that independence. She’s made a lot of mistakes but she’s learning....Gypsy is always going to struggle with certain things, but she is growing into a beautiful woman that can own up to her stuff when she needs to....I am very proud of her.”
Gypsy had murdered her mother Dee Dee with her former boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, in 2015 at their Springfield home. Godejohn is serving a life sentence but Gypsy got parole after eight years.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard got married in 2022 to Ryan Scott Anderson while she was still in prison. Mia Rose was initially not very supportive and said she wished her sister waited a little longer:
"I kind of wish she would have just waited so she can live at home with mom and dad. It would be easier for family time. It would be easier to create that bond with her that we were both robbed of, me and my brother. And it's just not going to be the same as if she would have been living at home."
After Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison, Mia posted a picture with her as their family welcomed her home after a long wait
Lifetime has brought us an eight-episode documentary that follows Gypsy Rose Blanchard's post-prison life as she transitions to freedom, re-establishs her familial ties and lives a married life with her spouse with whom she took her vows in 2022 while imprisoned.
