Rosie O'Donnell has confirmed that she and longtime girlfriend Kelli Carpenter are on the rocks.

In a new interview with USA Today, she says, "We're a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues."

The 47-year-old O'Donnell -- who has been suggesting a split on her blog -- wouldn't confirm a National Enquirer report that Carpenter, 42, has moved out of their Nyack, NY, home and into Manhattan. (USA Today notes that Carpenter was not at the house during the interview.)

"We're a family, we remain a family and we're working on the issues," O'Donnell said, noting that the well-being of their four children -- Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 10, and Vivienne ("Vivi"), 7 -- is top priority.

Ugghhhhh!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Another one on the rocks. Is nothing sacred ?

[Red Badger]

I can't fathom why.........imagine waking up to this............

[Vasilli22]

lol. Maybe they need to go on another cruise.

[CatQuilt]

and in a few years, Kelli Carpenter will get married again, to a man... Their ‘lifestyle’ is a lie.

[earlJam]

LOL

Now Rosie’s “wife” gets to present a claim for half of Rosie’s estate.

If they were simply cohabitating, the “wife” would get little or nothing.

[trisham]

No! How unusual.

[jagusafr]

“their four children”

Nope - sorry.

[RichInOC]

Four kids? As always, I’m happy to see that Rosie hasn’t been shooting blanks.

[ExTexasRedhead]

No more deserving a pair.

[Yo-Yo]

If they were simply cohabitating, the “wife” would get little or nothing.

Tell that to the late Lee Marvin.

[relictele]

Carpenter was quoted as saying “I have to wake up and look at that every morning. I want to save what’s left of my eyesight.”

[KansasGirl]

Where did the kids come from? Are they all adopted?

[dead]

Did anybody catch Rosie O'Donnell on HBO's "Little Britain"?

It was brutal, I'm surprised that Rosie sat there for it. I guess, on some level, she must be a pretty good sport.

The main character of the scene (a guy in drag, playing an insensitive weight loss group leader) asks her questions like,

"Are you so fat because you're a lesbian, or did you become a lesbian because you were so fat you couldn't get a man?"

[jaydubya2]

Is she getting a new carpet?

[mkjessup]

[9YearLurker]

And Rosie’s answer?

[Vision]

[Yo-Yo]

If they were simply cohabitating, the “wife” would get little or nothing.

Oops, I was WRONG!!!

I dug into palimony further, and found that the Cali Supreme Court overturned Marvin v. Marvin.

You're right, "no soup for you!" (for just living together.)

and in a few years, Kelli Carpenter will get married again, to a man..

What man in his right mind would want Rosie O'Donnell's sloppy seconds?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

No, NONONO! I won’t believe it! Surely this is not true!

You mean “The Love That Just Won’t Shut It’s Freaking Fat Yap” isn’t eternal?

Mon Dieu!

[tlb]

Happens in the best of households, but in this case the only surprise is Kelli took so long. O’Donnell’s mental deterioration and general instability, even when she was taking her medications, had to make life there a nightmare.

>>>imagine waking up to this

As opposed to how all heterosexual people are svelte and beautiful.

[RandallFlagg]

OOHH!!!
*Rimshot*

[dfwgator]

She ain’t exactly pretty
Ain’t exactly small
Forty-two, thirty-nine, fifty-six

[evets]

"Chong. Ching chong."

Kelli Carpenter-O'Donnell (born May 24, 1967) is a former Nickelodeon marketing executive and co-founder of R Family Vacations.

Of course she is...

Four kids? As always, I’m happy to see that Rosie hasn’t been shooting blanks.

They are called grudge pregnancies: Somebody had it in for her.

[evets]

Lol. Whole lotta Rosie!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL! Love ‘Little Britain’. Matt Lucas IS gay....so he plays the parts so well. One of my favorite characters he plays is ‘Bubbles DeVere’ but you just can’t beat ‘Lou and Andy’. ;-)

[Iron Munro]

I recognize Rosie in that pic but who is the other guy?

Is that the dude with the Camaro who does the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show on the Food Channel?

[Huskrrrr]

How’s that gay marriage rights thing working for you hon ?

[Boonie]

Is that a wisp of hair on Rosie’s chest in the right side pic??????

[RichInOC]

Badumbum.

[HD1200]

If Keli & Rosy remarry other women, those poor kids would have to do introductions like

“Please meet my stepmom & my mom, my stepmom is my mom’s wife, but not my mom’s first wife, who is also our mom....you will meet her later today along with her wife, my stepmom”.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Ohhhhhhhhh LAWD! That second pic! Walking example of ‘too much information’! I think I just lost b’fast.

[dead]

And Rosie’s answer?

She just played the half/confused, half/appalled straight man in the scene - "Oh no! It's nothing like that..."

It wasn't Boratish. It was a scripted skit.

[RGSpincich]

Calling Joy Behar. We have an opening.

[dead]

I’ve only recently started watching Little Britain. It is very funny. When they played the two naked muscleheads in the locker room, I was dying.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

A good teaching image of the differences between camels and elephants.

[Jeff Chandler]

Maybe they need to go on another cruise.

Oh, they'll be cruising all right.

[Reddy]

So sad for the kids. Not only do they have two mentally ill women for “parents”, they also have to contend with the split.

Divorce stinks, especially when there is mental illness involved.

[OB1kNOb]

In a divorce settlement, which one would get the strap-on?

[domeika]

I can’t wait to hear what Donald Trump has to say about this.

[equaviator]

What will the paternity tests reveal? Coming up on Maury Povich...”Rosie, you are NOT the father!”

[Iron Munro]

Rosie and Kelli spend a day at the beach in happier times.

[Vision]

Yes, that’s him. He likes butch women they say.

[all the best]

She doesn’t look that good when she wakes up. That picture is after she got ready for public appearance.

[RAR]

ha! thanks for the giggle.
