Rosie O’Donnell Finds Peace in Ireland: A New Chapter with Her Family
After stepping away from the spotlight in the U.S., Rosie O’Donnell has found a new rhythm in Ireland, where she’s focused on family, healing, and helping others through storytelling.
The former talk show host recently opened up about her move overseas, saying she and her child, Clay, chose Ireland without a clear destination in mind. Their first rental didn’t work out due to a mold issue, which led them to a cozy home in Howth. Eventually, they settled in Dublin — a place Rosie describes as a welcoming, kind-hearted community.
“There’s a warmth here I wasn’t expecting,” Rosie shared. “People know your name at the store, and Clay is thriving in school.”
Clay, who is 12 and autistic, inspired much of Rosie’s relocation decision. She wanted a safe, supportive environment for them to grow and heal — especially after the challenges of life in the U.S. She also recently premiered a Hulu documentary, *Unleashing Hope*, which explores the power of service dogs for children with autism.
**New Life, Familiar Faces, and Distance from Ellen**
While many know Rosie’s complicated history with fellow comedian Ellen DeGeneres, she admitted they haven’t stayed in touch — even after both moved out of the country. Ellen now lives in the English countryside, but Rosie says they live very separate lives. Still, she holds no ill will.
“We’re just very different people,” she said. “I truly wish her peace and happiness.”
Rosie’s move wasn’t political, though she acknowledged being outspoken about her beliefs over the years. “I needed this for my peace of mind and for my child. It was the right choice.”
Though she misses her older children and longtime friends in the U.S., Rosie still keeps close ties through calls and FaceTime.
**A Purpose-Driven Life**
Rosie’s new chapter isn’t just about family — it’s also about advocacy. Her Hulu documentary highlights the life-changing impact service dogs have on children with autism, and she’s using her platform to raise awareness and inspire others.
“It’s been a tough but beautiful journey,” Rosie reflected. “This project gave me a chance to shine a light on something that really matters.”
