Rosie O'Donnell and Kelli Carpenter are having problems. Big ones. In a chat with USA Today on Tuesday, the former daytime TV host broke down in tears while discussing her longtime partner, whom she shares four kids with. "We're a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues," she coyly answered to questions on whether she and Carpenter had split.
O'Donnell herself has been fueling the breakup reports with answers to fan questions on her blog. She has recently called marriage "very very very hard" and seemed genuinely unaware that Carpenter had a Facebook account.
The couple married in San Francisco in 2004 have three adopted children (Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12, and Blake, 9) as well 6-year-old Vivienne, whom Carpenter carried.
"They're adorable and wonderful and they are by far a priority," O'Donnell said with tears welling. "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."
The National Enquirer reported in August that Carpenter had moved out their home and into Manhattan.
O'Donnell may not be ready to disclose the likely breakup, but saying "We will both continue to parent them and we're friendly and everything's all right" does not sound like an endorsement of a strong relationship.
Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley Divorcing
After announcing their split in September, Lavigne has officially filed for divorce to end her three year marriage to the Sum 41 rocker.
Companies that offer same-sex partner benefits would probably not do so if those partners had the option of legal marriage, as the unmarried heterosexuals do. Unmarried heterosexuals could choose to marry, but the same-sex couples don't have the option, and many of them need insurance for their partners and children like the rest of us.
why doesen't rosi teem up with that other lezzi ellen. they will make such a beautiful couple. maybe they can both do advertisement for make up like ellen is doing now. lambert can join them
The difference is...that the man and woman in your example have the option to get legally married, whereas the same-sex couple does not. Hence the need for equality under the law...
The text of your comment discloses your bigotry and ignorance very clearly. Humans were not all made the same for a reason since a country full of your ilk would self-destruct within minutes out of sheer boredom or embarrassment. There is no need wasting my breath in trying to open your mind but others may become more enlightened.
I have nooooo problem with same sex marriage but even if it's a heterto marriage, WHY adopt so many children? Yes, every child needs a home BUT a stable one. Not just a place to sleep and a roof over their heads. Even in a loving environment a divorce is very hard on a child. I guess I'm just trying to say, before you adopt, be very sure. These kids are special, you pick them they don't pick you.
Who cares about these two perverted degenerates? Both of them will end up in Hell with their master, Satan. Their disgraceful lifestyle has damned them to eternal suffering and torment. Enjoy Hell perverts!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bible says that near the end of time there will be "man with man and woman with woman " fornicating in the streets. (soddam and Gomorra) don't look back you will be turned to salt. It's to late, look at what is happening in the world today. we are at the end of times. God is coming and is he mad.
Both are female....which is the wife???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Stop blaming Christians for the hate filled rants on this story. Just like Gays do not like to be stereotyped, neither do Christians. As far as the story goes no one wants to be around those with anger issues, it does hurt the other person and especially kids. Whether I agree with the lifestyle or not, I treat people with respect. God Bless.

You are free to express your view. It is my freedom as well to disagree with you. You are NOT my God. I decide what's "right" for me.

A straight man and a straight woman who live together can obtain legal rights without getting married.
Just adapt, and dont complain.
It just causes negativity in the world.
