Dreamgirl Soon to Be Available

Hard to believe, but it appears Rosie O'Donnell's "marriage" may be kaput. Can't imagine why. She seems like such the warm, loving type.

Rosie O'Donnell and longtime partner Kelli Carpenter are having "issues."

The 47-year-old actress responded to questions about the status of her five-year marriage in an interview Tuesday with USA Today, saying "We are a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues."

Rumors that the relationship was on the rocks began after O'Donnell posted cryptic messages on her personal blog about the difficulties of marriage and the fact that she wasn't aware Carpenter had a Facebook page until a reader asked her about it.

O'Donnell and Carpenter were married in a non-state-recognized ceremony in San Francisco in 2004 and have three adopted children - Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 9 - as well as daughter Vivienne, 6, whom Carpenter gave birth to via artificial insemination.
