“People have been asking what is going on in my life,” Gypsy reportedly wrote via Facebook on March 28, 2024. “Unfortunately, my husband and I are going through a separation, and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou. I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this [sic]. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find who I am.”
