Rosie O’Donnell Confirms Split With ‘Wife’

Comedian and TV personality Rosie O’Donnell tearfully confirmed rampant Internet rumors that her ‘wife’ has moved out.

According to People.com, O’Donnell said that she and her wife of five years, Kelli Carpenter, are undergoing a rough patch in their relationship and they are working together to raise their 5 adopted children.

“We’re a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues,” O’Donnell, 47, tells USA Today.

“Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues,” a tearful O’Donnell says, emphasizing that the couple’s four children are “a priority.” “Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties. 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.”
