Rosie, Kelli and their four children, three of whom were adopted by the couple and one of whom is Kelli’s biological child, were all smiles for the cameras on the red carpet.

As RadarOnline.com reported back in October, Kelli moved out of the couple’s Nyack, NY home with her biological child, leaving the three adopted children with Rosie, after a series of fights which a source says were prompted by Rosie’s mood swings.

Rosie has since moved on, going public with a new girlfriend, Tracy Kachtick-Anders, a Texas-based artist, back in December. The couple had started dating a couple of months previously to being snapped in Florida holding hands.

Rosie and Kelli married in a small, private ceremony on February 26th 2004. Rosie officially announced their split on her radio show last November, going on to admit that Kelli had moved out of their shared home two years previously.

Rosie has stated that she and Kelli are committed to their children and to raising their family together, and by the looks of it the former talk show host is putting her money where her mouth is.

The documentary, which will air on HBO on January 31st at 7pm EST, looks at the diversity of families today. It highlights same-sex parents, mixed-heritage families, single parents and stories of adoption. It includes performances by kids and their families as well as performances by the professionals, including Frank Sinatra, Ziggy Marley, Bonnie Raitt and Doris Day.



the children will all want to learn how to lick from their parents and how to live like freaks.

Rosie's so called "family" is 100% dysfunctional. Two gay parents of the same sex DO NOT equal a Mother & Father. I don't care what you say. It can and never will happen. God created Man & Woman. For a purpose. HELLO????

This is why gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt. They're incapable of having or even wanting anything that resembles a real "marriage."

Prior..I think the word you are searching for is prior, not previously. Next time try a thesaurus.

Kelli left with her biological daughter? Way to make the other kids feel special! BTW, I can't stand Rosie but I don't see a problem with gays adopting. They're just as capable as heterosexuals when it comes to raising kids.

Apparently Inquiringminds doesn't have an open mind. Just a closed shallow one. Go back to the 50's and watch leave it to beaver, that should make you happy.

Gays are very capable parents. Rosie is not representative of all Gays. She is a tyrant and I'm sure made it hell for Kellie and the kids. But to say she can't parent cause she's gay is wrong. She's a bad spouse cause she's a raging bipolar lunatic.
