Gypsy-Rose Blanchard is opening up about her nose surgery journey.
Speaking on the podcastGoing Deeper with Gypsy-Rose Blanchard and Kenin an episode released Wednesday, Oct. 16,Blanchard, 33, touched on the process of undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure. This came after she told PEOPLE back in April that she would begetting rhinoplasty, and then revealed hernew noselater that month.
Although she admitted on the podcast that she had “a little bit” of anxiety from trauma as she underwent the process, Blanchard said the anxiousness was “not as much as people might think because this was a surgery that I chose to have of my own free will.”
“This is something that I had been wanting for a long time. I had been teased for my nose forever, and social media just made that even worse. I was called the nose,” she said.
Blanchard added, “I was called all kinds of things. Ugh. You know, so having the surgery was something that was going to boost my self confidence and make me feel like the woman that I want to become.”

“I mean, what the reality is, like, I mean, when I fell in love with her, she had the brown hair, the long brown hair,” Urker said. “She had the previous nose. She had the silvers. You know? So, like, that didn’t change the way I feel about her at all.”
Speaking of his support, he added, “I mean, I know that she had wanted this procedure from even back when we knew each other, you know, in the early days. So I was very supportive. I was like, ‘Well, now you can finally go do what you want.’ "
“And if it makes you happier, then, of course, I support you. So yeah,” Urker concluded.
Blanchard then added, “We have a long history of teasing each other about noses because, I mean,” to which her boyfriend responded, “We joke about [how] our daughter might have a strong nose. Bless her heart.”
“Because you could you could have the surgery, but the genetics are still there,” Blanchard noted.
