It sounds like Rosie O’Donnell decided to talk about everything with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s talk show
She talked about her split from Kelli Carpenter and how they co-parent as well as “blending families” with her new girlfriend, Tracy Kachtick-Anders.
“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.”
Explaining that Carpenter “lives nearby,” O’Donnell also says that is still “not close enough. I wanted her to live in the same town, and she was, like, ‘I don’t know how good that’s gonna be for me.’ Like, what are you saying? You can’t exist – okay. Calm down. Breathe. Everything’s okay.”
Ouch, that would be tough to hear: I can’t stand to be in the same city with you anymore. But I’m glad they were able to find a way to co-parent for their four kids’ sakes.
Rosie said her attraction to Tracy was instant, and they plan on moving in together (Tracy currently lives in Texas). Tracy has SIX kids of her own.
“So you’re gonna blend the families?” asks Winfrey. “The six kids and the four kids … ”
“Yes,” says O’Donnell. “Can you imagine?”
“No,” says Winfrey.
“I know,” says O’Donnell. “A lot of people can’t.”
Wow. TEN kids. I can’t imagine that myself! It sounds like Rosie’s in a good place personally at this point; I’m happy for her ![]()

I’m not very familiar with Rosie o’Donnell. From what I’ve heard, she doesn’t seem very likeable. But I do like the way she’s handling all this.
Yeah, she bugs me to know end. All she does is criticize others publicly. She’s a bore.
she must love kids and of course her gf . i can barely handle 6 kids every two week-ends !
