Rosie O’Donnell and her ex-wife Kelli didn’t split up that long ago, but thankfully Rosie’s having no problem starting up something new. Rosie went on Oprah this week to talk all about her new relationship with girlfriend Tracy Kachtick-Anders, and it looks like Tracy’s the new Kelli because the two are planning to move in together… and blend families. That’d be a grand total of eleven kids. Rosie says of meeting Tracy for the first time, “So she got out of the car in Miami and I was, like, zoinks, you know, because she’s absolutely gorgeous and, I don’t know, I felt like I knew her right away. It was very odd.”
People was able to get the scoop from Oprah before it airs on Monday and it looks like Rosie is going to open up about her relationship with Kelli quite a bit. “Although we co-parent, we share equal time but we’re never really without them. Some are here. And that’s the way we did it. It’s free-flowing, and we do nights together, too,” Rosie says of her post-divorce parenting with Kelli. For those of you who don’t know, most of Rosie’s kids are adopted (Vivian was carried by Kelli) and her entire parenting career, including how she’s handled her divorce, has been a huge “F you” to those who say that gay couples shouldn’t be able to adopt.
I don’t care what anyone thinks, I love Rosie O’Donnell. She made The View worth watching and I really miss seeing her on that show and putting Elizabeth Hasselbigot in her place. I have these friends who happen to be a gay couple with 2 adopted kids and they went on one of Rosie’s Family cruises. They said it was an amazing and uplifting experience to be able to have a family vacation without people scruitinizing that they were two men raising two children of completely different races. They also said that Rosie and Kelly (when they were together) were very warm and friendly with everyone on the cruise and mingled in as if they were just ordinary vacationing folks. I think Rosie has done amazing things with bringing attention to diverse modern families. And I respect her new girlfriend for the work she has done advocating the importance of fostering/adopting.
I respect the fact that Rosie always speaks her mind! Her personal life is her business! She also has enough talent to be a household name even though she is overweight, not “Beautiful” according to Hollywood standards, and isn’t swayed by the masses to be a “certain” way in her expressions!
Rosie kills all the good karma generated by puppies, kittehs, flowers and candy each day, every time she opens her mouth.
That sentence structure is all wrong.
Blech! She should thank her lucky stars she’s rich.
I’m pretty sure that Kelli had moved out many, many months (possibly years) before Rosie announced the split, so this isn’t really a fast move on Rosie’s behalf.
