Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s sister Mia has been EVERYWHERE lately…
But where did she come from?Why wasn’t she harmed by Gypsy’s mom, too?And why has she been talking about Gypsy so much? Does she want fame by publicly associating with her sister now after all these years?
When Mia started popping out everywhere and talking about her sister, many people had questions: Like – where was she all this time? How did Gypsy Rose really feel about her sister? And did she also suffer at the hands of Gypsy’s mom, Dee Dee?
Did Mia Blanchard and Gypsy Rose Grow Up Together?
Well, the truth is that she didn’t, because she and Gypsy are actually half-sisters. Dee Dee isn’t Mia’s mom. Rod Blanchard, Gypsy’s dad, is Mia’s dad.
Rod and Dee Dee got together when he was still in high school. He was 17, while Dee Dee was already 24. She got pregnant just a couple of months into their relationship. They got married and had Gypsy. Unfortunately, Rod soon realized that he didn’t actually love Dee Dee.
He left her and he met his current wife, Kristy. Kristy and Rod got married and they had two kids together – Mia and Dylan. Mia was born in 2001, which means that she’s only 22 years old.
Her sister Gypsy is about 10 years older than her, but they still seem to have a really strong bond.
After Gypsy was released from prison, her family threw her a welcome party. Mia shared some photos from that party on her Instagram, including a photo of her and Gypsy standing close together and smiling. In the caption, Mia wrote: “the sweetest hello, welcome home sister.”
Gypsy then actually also shared the photo of her and Mia on her Instagram, and she captioned the post with “sister love.”
Is There More to Gypsy Rose and Mia’s Relationship?
So it’s clear that these two appear to have a loving relationship and to be happy to be reunited after all these years. But is Mia actually just happy to have her sister back? Or is there something more to it all? Could she be chasing the spotlight?
Like I said, Rod and Kristy had two kids together…Mia and Dylan…
What’s interesting is that Dylan isn’t really in the spotlight at all. He’s not super active on social media or anything like that. Mia, on the other hand, IS pretty active, and she’s also been sharing her thoughts and opinions on Gypsy’s life.
But why are the siblings so different? Is it just because Dylan prefers to keep his life private, while Mia is more outgoing?Or does Mia secretly want fame?
It’s honestly hard to say…
Because some of the things she’s said about Gypsy are a little strange…
Mia Has Made Comments About Gypsy Rose’s Husband
For example, she publicly admitted that she wished Gypsy wouldn’t have married her husband so soon. Gypsy married Ryan Scott Anderson in 2022. She was still serving time back then. So, when she was released, she was ready to start her married life with Ryan right away.
And apparently, Mia wasn’t a huge fan of that idea. “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,” she said.
Mia added that it would be easier for her and Dylan to create a bond with Gypsy if she lived with them instead of Ryan. She said that they were robbed of that bond and it’s just not going to be the same as if she lived with them after her release.
Rod and Kristy seemingly agreed with this. Mia admitted to all this in a Lifetime docuseries titled “The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.” And honestly, this part of what she had to say about Gypsy and Ryan’s marriage was kind of understandable.
She WAS still saying that she wished Gypsy wouldn’t have married someone she loved, but you can see why she would feel that way. She just wanted time with her sister, even if it was a little weird for her to speak out against her sister’s marriage.
But this wasn’t all that Mia had to say about it, and the other thing she said was kind of strange too…
“She doesn’t know what it’s like to live with a man and I’m just worried it’ll end in divorce,” she added. I understand why this might’ve been a worry for Mia, but why would she say this publicly?Why not just share her worries with Gypsy instead of calling her out like that?
I feel like she should’ve been a little more supportive of Gypsy. And this definitely made me think that she could just be interested in the spotlight.
But Mia then explained her statement a little more: “I don’t want to make her feel like I don’t support her or that she’s still being controlled, but I never met him.”
I feel like that explains a lot…As Gypsy’s sister, Mia probably felt protective of her, and she didn’t know if she could trust this man that she’d never even met before. After she finally met him, she said that she felt more at ease about the whole thing.

She said that she was still worried that this was all happening too fast, but at the end of the day, she didn’t want to keep Gypsy from doing anything. She just wanted her to live her life — because she still had a whole life to experience… after everything that happened.
Mia Is Aware That Gypsy Was Robbed of a Childhood
It seems like, while Mia had her reservations about the marriage, she did her best to support Gypsy, and she appears to be aware of what Gypsy’s life looked like before she went to prison, and how important it is that Gypsy has her freedom now. Which is something she didn’t really have even before she received her sentence.
Mia actually spoke out about the sentence, too. In the docuseries, she said that she thought that 10 years was too long. Mia said that she agreed that Gypsy deserved to be in jail, but she also deserved to get help. She also seems to be aware of the fact that her and Gypsy’s childhoods looked entirely different.
“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,” she said, adding that all of this was taken away from Gypsy by Dee Dee.
And it’s clear that she feels bad for her sister and what happened to her. Maybe this is why she’s so outspoken about Gypsy these days. It’s not because she wants to be in the spotlight, but because she wants to stand up for her sister and make her feel loved.
This includes being worried about her when she’s making huge decisions, like getting married to someone her family doesn’t really know.
Mia Is Active On Instagram And She Is Studying Nursing
If you go to Mia’s Instagram, you’ll also see that she’s been pretty active on there for YEARS at this point, so it’s not like she’s only on social media now because of Gypsy and the opportunity to gain more followers.
Mia has always posted photos of herself and her life, so maybe she’s just really comfortable in the spotlight anyway, and that’s why she’s not afraid to speak up for and about Gypsy right now.
I do really think that she has her sister’s best interest in mind. She’s also a young woman. Like I said, she’s only 22 years old, so it makes sense for her to enjoy the attention and be active on social media.
Mia is also studying nursing at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, so, she clearly has her own career ambitions.
