Rosie O’Donnell Embraces a New Life in Ireland with Her Child: “We Needed to Flee for Our Sanity”

Rosie O’Donnell has always been known for speaking her truth — and now she’s doing it from across the Atlantic.

The Emmy-winning comedian and longtime advocate recently revealed her shocking decision to leave the United States and start a new chapter in Ireland. In an emotional interview with Us Weekly, O’Donnell shared the deeply personal motivations behind the transatlantic move with her 12-year-old non-binary child, Clay, who lives with autism.

“I know myself enough to know that this was something I needed to do for the safety and sanity of myself and my non-binary child,” Rosie said. “We chose Ireland and didn’t really know where to go.”

Initially hoping to settle in Glengarry, Rosie was stunned to discover the house she had found online was riddled with mold — a nonstarter for Clay’s health. The family eventually landed in Howth, a quaint seaside village just 40 minutes from Dublin, where they found what Rosie describes as an “unbearably kind” community.

“There’s a great, great school there. And Clay has done very well. And they were really welcoming,” she said. “It’s a village where you know the grocer’s name. It shocks me every single day how kind people are.”

The move aligns with a surprising trend among U.S. celebrities. Rosie revealed she was “shocked” to hear that fellow comedian Ellen DeGeneres had quietly moved to the Cotswolds in England with wife Portia de Rossi — especially after reports that Ellen left the U.S. due to former President Donald Trump’s influence.

“I’ve never really known Ellen to say anything political… that shocked me,” Rosie confessed, before clarifying that she holds no malice toward the former talk show host. “We’re just very different people.”

Though she misses her adult children and lifelong friends in the U.S., Rosie says the move is about healing — and reclaiming peace.

“I FaceTime my kids. I talk to my best friends every day. I do miss them, but this move was necessary,” she said.

Now, she and Clay are working toward Irish citizenship — and perhaps, just maybe, a new sense of home and belonging far from the noise of American headlines. 🌍💚
