HUGE 90s TV star Rosie O’Donnell has moved from the US to Ireland and declared: “It’s been pretty wonderful.”
The New York native, 62, and her 12-year-old daughter, Dakota, made the leap to the Emerald Isle following Trump‘s most recent election.
Rosie took to TikTok today to give a “life update” to her followers after online speculation that she had moved out of the US.
The View star told fans that she had moved to Dublin in January and highlighted: “It’s been pretty wonderful.”
She continued: “The people here are so loving, kind and welcoming.”
The American comedian revealed that she is in the process of securing Irish citizenship as she has a family lineage on both her mother’s and father’s sides.
Rosie emotionally told fans that she never thought she would have to move countries, but added: “It was the best decision for me and my 12-year-old child, and here we are.”
The former talk show host admitted that she missed her children in America, as well as her family and friends.
However, she emphasised: “When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights in America, we will consider coming back.”
O’Donnell, who is a vocal critic of President Trump, explained: “It has been heartbreaking to see what is happening over there politically.
“It’s been hard for me personally.”
The Emmy award-winning star told her followers that she wondered if she was raised in Ireland would life be different for her now.
Rosie wished her fans well and apologised for not updating them on her current living situation.
The radio presenter added: “Here’s hoping it all gets better before it gets too late and here’s hoping it’s not too late already.
“I encourage everyone to stand up and use their voice and to demand that we follow the constitution in our country and not a king, not a man.

“And that we don’t have cruelty as part of our governing style.”
O’Donnell would not be the first celebrity to relocate abroad since Trump won the 2024 election.
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi moved from Montecito, California, to the English countryside in December 2024 because of Trump’s win.
Comedian DeGeneres, who had backed Harris, has reportedly purchased a property in the Cotswolds, a picturesque region in south-west England, that is about two hours from London.
