Rep: 'O'Donnell and Carpenter not splitting'

Rex Features

A representative for Rosie O'Donnell has dismissed claims that the TV personality has split up with her partner Kelli Carpenter.

The former View co-host and her spouse, who were married in 2004, are parents to Parker,14, Chelsea, 12, Blake, 10, and seven-year-old Vivienne. Tabloid reports had suggested that the pair have been broken up for the past few months and are living separate lives, says People.

"There is no truth to this - at all," said the spokesperson. "This is ridiculous. I get this rumour every time Rosie travels for work. Right now she is on tour with Cyndi Lauper."

O'Donnell recently announced that she is to launch a two-hour daily programme on Sirius XM Radio.
