Rosie O’Donnell’s recent social media activity has sparked curiosity among her fans about whether she has relocated outside the United States. The 62-year-old comedian and outspoken critic of Donald Trump shared two intriguing posts on Instagram, which she has since made private. These updates suggest that she and her 12-year-old daughter, Dakota, may currently be abroad.
In one post, O’Donnell shared a selfie taken while driving, mentioning that she was on the "wrong side of the road," a hint that they could be in the U.K. or Ireland. She humorously noted her experience of hitting the curb multiple times, saying, "Hit the curb three times – thought I hit a cat!!! #newadventures ❤️."
Another post featured a photo of Dakota in the backseat of the car, ready for school with her backpack and tablet. O’Donnell expressed her excitement about walking Dakota to school, further indicating their new surroundings.
O’Donnell has also posted images on TikTok that reinforce the idea that she might be in Ireland. One picture showed her family, including their black Labrador service dog, outside a church next to a street sign with the name "Bóthar Naomh Mhuire" in Irish, which translates to "St. Mary’s Road."
In a reflective TikTok post, O’Donnell shared her feelings about being in her grandmother’s homeland, writing, “now – here my grannys [sic] homeland […] a sense of belonging is what I have found here.” This sentiment adds a personal touch to her potential move, suggesting a deeper connection to her Irish roots.
O’Donnell’s family history includes Irish heritage on both sides, which might explain her desire to explore her roots more fully. While she has previously dismissed rumors about moving to Canada if Trump won the 2016 election, her current posts have led to speculation that she may have decided to leave the U.S. following Trump’s recent electoral victory.
If she has indeed moved abroad, O’Donnell would not be alone. Other celebrities, like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, have also chosen to leave the U.S. after Trump’s win. Reports suggest they relocated to the English countryside, feeling disillusioned with the political climate.
As of now, O’Donnell’s representative has not responded to inquiries about her current location. Fans are left to wonder if this is a temporary adventure or a more permanent change for the beloved entertainer and her daughter.
