Rosie O’Donnell & Kelli Carpenter Are Dunzo!
More sad break-up news to impart today … after rumors began to swirl that Rosie O’Donnell and her wifey Kelli Carpenter were on the outs, Rosie herself confirmed that the couple have split. Tho she doesn’t go so far as to say they are finished for good, she does confess that the couple are no longer together even tho they continue to work on their problems:
Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed to Lifeline Live that she and partner Kelli Carpenter, 42, are on the rocks. In an interview at her Nyack, N.Y., compound Tuesday, USA TODAY’s Ann Oldenburg asked if the two had split — she has been hinting at it in her blog — and O’Donnell didn’t deny it, saying, “We’re a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues.” O’Donnell, 47, wouldn’t go into detail about whether Carpenter had moved out of their Nyack home and into Manhattan, as the National Enquirer reported in August. (She was not around during the interview.) “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. The couple married in San Francisco in 2004 and have three adopted children — Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 9, as well as Vivienne (“Vivi”), 6, whom Carpenter carried. “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.”
While it’s commendable that Rosie and Kelli are keep their children’s interests at the forefront of their actions, it really does sound like it’s splitsville for the ladies. It’s always such a shame when a couple breaks up … because we have no idea what led to the split, I think it’s best to just wish them well in their endeavors to work on their issues and hope for the best. Still … this is really sad news ;(

I LOVE Rosie. That’s too bad. I was so happy to see her on Curb Your Enthusiasm the other night she was good.

Rosie is pretty impulsive and seems like the type to have things HER way or no way. Plus, she’s scary looking.

Right on Kelli…in the future I can see the kids regretting being adopted by Rosie

So not the topic at hand…. but didn’t she have another girl around the same age as Chelsea…?? What happened to her?

Never mind… I just googled it. Appears Florida removed her from their custody because of their same-sex relationship.. Shame on Florida :(

I think Rosie gets a bad rap. She is strong willed and perhaps doesn’t think before speaking but she was raised without the “soft touch” of a mother. If you know much about her, the kids sort of raised themselves with the aid of a grandmother. Dad wasn’t around. I think she probably has some anger issues but she and Kelli have been together forever. That wouldn’t be anything new to Kelli. I think Rosie will get the blame for this because Kelli is an unknown entity. None of us knows— she might be equally abrasive and equally hard to live with.

I think that’s great news! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.

I wish them both the best. This is none of anybody’s business. They are a family like anyone elses and deserve the respect of privacy.

I can’t believe her kids are that old already. I used to watch her talk show and they were so little!

[...] Rosie O’Donnell & Kelli Carpenter Are Dunzo! and so are TR Knight & Mark Cornelson. Maybe there is something in the water? [...]

None of anyone’s business? She blogged about it and spoke to USA Today. Get over yourself.

“I think Rosie gets a bad rap.”
No, Rosie pretty much brings it upon herself.
Now let’s see . . .
They were “married” in California, which is a community property state. That means that Kelli is entitled to 1/2 of Rosie’s assets.
This could get good folks.

Rosie is a rude obese control freak. Kelli is attractive and now has a chance to be very very wealthy without being suffocated and controlled by an oversensitive chronic masturbater. I sure this comes as no surprise to anyone around them. HOWEVER – Its these kids that will ultimately be messed up on so many levels. WHY think thought they needed FOUR adopted children is beyond me. Buts its just like Rosie to behave like a bull in a china-shop. I’ll never forget her making such an unbelievable ass out of herself to Tom Selleck about gun control. Oy vey !

I don’t know how amicable a split this can be when Kelli has Vivi with her in NYC- you know, the child they “had together” but actually is only hers biologically? Rosie has all the other [adopted] kids with her. Why aren’t they sharing them equally- why is Viv “Kelli’s”? Ugh. So sad. I hope the kids are okay.

you know, I can’t say I’m a huge Rosie fan, but I have enormous respect for both of them for being civil publicly for the sake of their kids, unlike some people (like Jon & Kate). Obviously, we don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors, and that’s how it should be as it’s no one else’s business and I am glad they are not out airing as much dirty laundry as possible for attention or to get people to take sides.

Just Imagine having to go down on that I mean really…..Rosie getting you down there and shouting “Eat It Eat It!!!” Good God let us hope Kelli finds some nice tender snatch.
