Rosie O’Donnell and Kelli Carpenter may be getting a divorce after Kelli told Rosie that she needed a “breather.” Rosie and Kelli were married in San Francisco by Mayor Gavin Newsom in February 2004, despite the state law not approving same sex marriages at the time.
Carpenter has since moved out to a luxury high-rise with their youngest daughter. Rosie and Kelli have four children together.
Rosie has not commented on a potential divorce. Sources say that Kelli’s time away from Rosie may not be permanent.
