Rosie O'Donnell Admits Split Happened Two Years Ago

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 15th 2009 10:12AM

Former daytime talk show host Rosie O'Donnell has shared few details of her split with longtime partner Kelli Carpenter, but she let an unexpected tidbit slip Friday on her own Sirius radio show: Carpenter actually moved out of their family home two years ago. PEOPLE reports that Rosie's conversation with a pet psychic led to the big reveal. Discussing her own chihuahua, Rosie said, "What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog."

Last month, Rosie told USA Today , "We're a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues,"

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.

He/She must be speaking about themselves, how else would they know all that. Ever heard the saying "THOSE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES?"

By chicobombico

This woman is nothing more than a junk yard dog wearing a dress when she should be wearing coverall, she is an animal period. Why is the media wasting time promoting her life style it is wrong, our children are reading, hearing and seeing this why ???

By Losers

You suck!

By Sarah

you are a sad waste of life and people like you shouldn't be allowed to reproduce what is wrong with her lifestyle??...what she's gay?? People that are closed minded like you need to buy an island and move there all alone because you make america a horrible place to live in and you don't deserve to say you are american...who are you to tell someone who they can or can't love...think of all of the lives that have been lost to gay bashing just because people were being who they really are and people like you found it wrong and decided to take their lives your a very sad person and i am going to pray for you because that is all that can help you

Her life style? Until you are perfect in everyway, stay out of others lives and work on your own! I am not a big fan of Rosie but I am a big fan of equal rights and respect of all.

Doubt that any children are reading this story -- but you are. If you don't think it's worth any time, then why did you read it AND respond to it? your funny.

By kim

Well, let's see....because unfortunately for you, Kellie and Rosie represent many gay families raising children and deserve to be represented in the media. Why do you spew such hateful words? You know what they say about pointing at people...ya got three fingers pointing right back at you...take a look. I am not a huge fan of Rosie but fully support her right to equal rights. Chill out...

By Benny

EXACTLY!

So many more important issues in the world to report and care about ... hope the media stops promoting these ridiculas divas and reality show pseudo-stars and delve into more enlightening issues. Just my personal thoughts.
