“Both of us have a fascination withthe Northern Lights, and the proper term is the Aurora Borealis,” said Blanchard, who was previously engaged to Urker in 2018 but then they split. “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 added that she and Urker have plans to see the Northern Lights “some day.”

“After I’m off parole we’re going to go,” she said. “We’re going to go to Sweden.”

Blanchard and Urker first shared theirpregnancy news in July. The couplerekindled their relationshipafter Blanchardfiled for divorce fromestranged husbandRyan Andersonin April.

On Dec. 9, Blanchard and Anderson’s divorce wasfinalized.

In November, Blanchard — who recently released her memoirMy Time to Stand— told PEOPLE what she was most looking forward to about motherhood: “Giving my daughter a happiness I never knew growing up."

As for her future with Urker, she said that while the pair have spoken about “plans to get married,” they’re “more focused on being parents” at this moment.

In July, Blanchard told PEOPLE that she and Urker both want their relationship to go the distance.

“[Ken and I] both come from divorced parents and one thing we absolutely agreed on from day one, even back when we were dating in 2017, is that when we have a child, we will stick together for the long haul,” she said. “This is a forever thing because we don’t want our child to grow up in a broken home.”
