When I think of Rosie O’Donnell, I remember laying on the floor watching the show after school and thinking about how funny she was, squishy balls, Miss Piggy and Tom Cruise. So you ask what has Miss Rosie O’Donnell been up to? Well she married Kelli Carpenter back in 2004 and later divorced her in 2007. Then she met her second wife Michelle Rounds and the two were married in 2012. In 2013, they adopted a baby girl, Dakota. O’Donnell already had four older kids.
Michelle Rounds and Rosie O’Donnell split in January 2015 after living apart since November 2014. Rosie also decided to leave the TV show The View to focus on taking care of her health and her five kids. Rosie O’Donnell thanked Barbara Walters and the cast and crew of The View while holding her daughter, Dakota, Feb. 12, 2015, on her last day as a co-host. After suffering a heart attack in 2012 she understands the importance of taking care of herself and continues to do so. Watch the video below.

This has been a very stressful situation. She is putting her personal health and family first. ABC has been wonderfully understanding and supportive of her personal decision to leave ‘The View.’ Next week will be her last.” states Rosie’s rep, Cindi Berger.
