“Ken came up with that,“she said of Urker’s idea to name their daughter Aurora Raina. “There’s a whole backstory to it.”

“Back whenever Ken and I were together seven years ago, both of us have a fascination withthe Northern Lights, and the proper term is the Aurora Borealis,” she shared of when she and Urker first dated during her time in prison. (Blanchard 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.)

“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,” Blanchard recalled.
