Rosie O'Donnell and Kelli Carpenter Split?

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 21st 2009 11:27AM

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.

What difference does it make how well relationships go or how many divorces there are? Just because some people end up in a relationship with the wrong person doesn't justify letting people marry anything they want. I guess since there are so many divorces then we should just allow people to marry the family members or pets. why not? not like regular relationships always last, right?

Sounds like kind of a crappy justification for homosexual marriages all of a sudden....

pig,mz piggy rosie got what she deserves......a very hatfull manwoman

By eatahabanero

mckenz although I agree with your view on that homosexual stuff I have to say that I loved Rosie's show and her magazine. She messed up when she went on the view.

By jlhj2002

Probably has something to do with the fact that Rosie appears to be a mean, hateful, angry person, and from seeing some of her online video rants... apparently she's a drunk too. Who would want to live with that?

It's about time Kellie saw the light. Rosie is one nasty person and has a terrible attitude. And to think the likes of her is raising those kids. Sure hope they don't grow up like that nasty so called mother of there's

that's any world

There is not a human being alive who could live with rosie odonnell. She is NASTY and CRAZY and must make life unbearable for all around her.

how are they forcing their lifestyle on you?? You are the one commenting on THEIR business.

By Keith

Well, then - maybe she should just get a husband instead!
.
Oh, wait - I forgot that she is fat, ugly, stupid, and unpleasant to be around - so she cant.

By Lazarus Long

Why is anybody surprised about this? The hot blonde was a "Star Banger",and Rosie lost her tv show gigs and gets no movie roles. Kelli liked being in the spotlight and Rosie is such a mean and nasty drunk that she doesn't even get invited to the big events as a guest anymore. Kelli has now met a bunch of other lesbians who are still in the limelight,and chances are most of them weigh a couple of hundred pounds less and aren't insane mean drunks. It's time for her to move on and move up. I just hope she took all the kids with her because Rosie is unfit to raise a rat.

By LizDee

Can you imagine living with that MOUTH for so long?
If she bullies her "wife" like she does anyone who has a different view than she does, then I'm surprised it lasted as long as it has or did.

KNOW WHAT? Being nasty to each other really isn't helping anything. Our creator made us male & female. Hopefully those attracted to the same sex will eventually have a true awareness of who JESUS is & how much greater things he has in store
for those that follow his commandments.

I am wondering how it is that so many people have so much time on their hands to occupy this site,by sending in messages that don't necessarily apply to the topic at hand, give me a break.
Point blank, in the eyes of God, it was not a marraige, perhaps a relationship, but thats all it was, and why do these so calle movie stars go on the news and internet and tell their problems or woes to everyone else in the world , we have our own, and who cares about them, they brought and took themselves there, no one else needs to know, their personal lifestyle or what is going on behind closed doors, we all don't go around boo hooing, they want us to feel sorry for them, yes, marraige is hard, but in those kind of lifestyles its an on going thing, never staying in any kind of steady relationship, and again, its by no means a marraige, and letting their children think its okay is just as bad, if not worse.

By Troy

Is that Kloe Kardashian?

OMG

By ednyou

I guess Kelli finally figured it just wasn't worth all of that money to have to live with that repulsive pig.

By jerry l.

Surely - hopefully - the average American is smart enough (I hope) to know that Jon and Kate and Rosie and all the rest of them are NOT - I repeat NOT - normal people.........

By Norm

The facts are that over half of all marriages fail. Rosie and Kelly are high profile and the tabloids will sensationalize their problems. The kids are what is important here. For the sake of their kids, I hope they can work it out!

By Terry

Guess Rosie and the gravy train must be over for her partner. And how long did they last?

By fred flinstone

She better kiss and make up.....who else would marry that toad?
