Rosie O’Donnell let it slip on her radio show that her partner Kelli Carpenter moved out on her two years ago — not just recently, as first reported last month.
Rosie confirmed a few weeks ago during an appearance on the Howard Stern radio show that she and Kelli were separated but trying to work things out.
Now, it seems, they have been living apart since 2007.
On her satellite radio show, Rosie was asked who looks after her dog, a long-haired chihuahua, O’Donnell replied: “What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog.”
The revelation appeared to be inadvertent — especially since the comedian vowed not to talk on the air about her break up.
Meanwhile, Rosie was photographed over the weekend in Miami jet skiing with a unidentified redhead, taking her for a tour around the island where she has a house.
Carpenter, a former exec for Nickelodeon, and Rosie were married in 2004 in San Francisco by the mayor, but the ceremony was later declared legally invalid.
