The breakup news came just three months after Blanchard was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri after serving more than eight years in prison for plotting to murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, with then-boyfriendNicholas “Nick” Godejohn.

On Thursday, Blanchard shared an announcement via social media.

“We do plan on having a reception/redo wedding with all of our family and our friends and the dress and the cake and everything because we deserve that. I deserve that. He deserves that,” she said. “Our prison wedding was just something to where we can make our vows to each other. It was something that meant something to us. And I think the party is kind of for everybody else and us, but mostly for everybody else.”

At the time, Blanchard said she was excited about moving in with Anderson and starting their life together.

“I’ve never lived with a man,” she said. “I grew up with a mom, so I didn’t even grow up with a dad in the house. So, I’m like, ‘I don’t even know what it’s like to live with a man.’”

Blanchard was charged with the killing of her mother Dee Dee who was found dead in June 2015.

Her then-boyfriend,Nick Godejohn, was also charged with the slaying.

Gypsy pleaded guilty in 2016 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.  Godejohn was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2019 following his trial conviction for first-degree murder, theSpringfield News-Leader,KY3andKOAMreported at the time.

Earlier this month, Blanchard shared a video on TikTok before deleting her social media platforms. In the video, she apologized to “all the people that I offended with a lack of accountability, the first month or so that I was out of prison and the lack of accountability in my interviews, I’m sorry. I’m learning. I take accountability for my part, and I’m saying this right now. I’m taking accountability. I did a bad thing."

A source explained to PEOPLE that she deleted her accounts “at the advisement of her parole officer, so she won’t get in trouble and go back to jail."
