Amid Break-Up Rumors, Rosie Reveals: Partner Moved Out 2 Years Ago
November 16th, 2009
Rosie O’Donnell has admitted that her partner of five years, Kelli Carpenter, moved out of the family home two years ago, but despite persistent rumors that the pair have split, O’Donnell says she and Carpenter “love each other very much” and “remain a family”.
On her Sirius Satellite radio show on Friday (November 13), however, O’Donnell unexpectedly admitted that Carpenter had moved out of the family home two years ago.
It turns out that the comedian had a pet psychic on her show, who was asking about O’Donnell’s long-haired chihuahua.
“Where did you get her from Rosie? Because she says she came from somewhere. And she said she’s happier with you,” pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick said of O’Donnell’s dog Misty.
“She’s so spoiled and she loves to burrow.”
O’Donnell quickly replied, “She does! She burrows in the bed right next to me.”
She further explained, “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.”
However, O’Donnell confirmed that she and Carpenter are working through their issues, telling USA Today on October 20, “We remain a family.”
“Kelli and I love each other very much, and we are working on our issues,” she said.
“Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties.”
