Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed to USA TODAY/Lifeline Live, that she and partner Kelli Carpenter are having serious issues with their relationship. In an interview at her Nyack, N.Y., compound Tuesday, USA TODAY’s Ann Oldenburg asked if the two had split and Rosie didn’t deny it. O’Donnell had been hinting on her blog about the split for weeks. Rosie answered:
“We’re a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues.”
Media savvy Rosie O’Donnell wouldn’t go into detail about whether Carpenter had moved out of their Nyack home and into their Manhattan address, although that is thought to be the situation.
“We’re a family, we remain a family and we’re working on the issues,” O’Donnell reiterated, noting that there are four children whose well-being comes before anything.”
When Rosie was asked about their children (all under 14 years old) and if they would still raise them together, she began to cry and said:
“They’re adorable and wonderful and they are by far a priority,” O’Donnell said. “Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues. Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties,” she said, tears collecting in her eyes. “But everything’s fine and everybody’s good and we’re still both raising them together. We will both continue to parent them and we’re friendly and everything’s all right.”
This is awful news. We have had the opportunity to share some really good times with Rosie and Kelli. They are some fabulous people. Ladies, we are pulling for you.
