"I'm not [enjoying the single life]," O'Donnell, 47, told Usmagazine.com at Rosie's Broadway Extravaganza in NYC on Monday. "But on we grow, so to speak."
The comedienne and Kelli Carpenter, 42, wed in 2004, but earlier this month she revealed that Carpenter moved out two years ago. She had said they kept it a secret for the sake of their children -- son Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12, Blake, 9, and Vivienne, 6.

Gee, I thought she was dead. Too bad she isn't, she's dung.
How s_d...
You have to respect their working out the problems the best they could without all of USknowing
Rosie will be alone for a long time. She's rude, mean and disrespectful. Who'd want to be around her. She's getting exactly what she deserves.
you are all such sad, hateful people.... Rosie is great!
Texan- It was never mommy and DADDY so it is best for the kids. The importance of a pet is the ONL thing I agree w/ this woman (is she really a woman??) on.
I think she should get used to being alone.....she is an unattractive big mouth.
carpet licker
This woman is way over-rated.
Where did my post go??? I am so tired of you deleting them!!!
So...the pooch has replaced Kelli? I won't even go there...
What, the kids didn't notice that mommy and mommy weren't living together anymore? Please, for the sake of the kids, who are you kidding?
