Rosie O’Donnell is no longer living on US soil.
The “A League of Their Own” star shared that she relocated to Ireland after Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
“I’m here in Ireland. And it’s beautiful and warm — not physically. It’s actually quite cold,” she said in a TikTok video Tuesday.
O’Donnell revealed that she left America on Jan. 15 — just five days before Trump, 78, was sworn into office.
“It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say,” she added. “The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful.”
The comedian said she is currently in the process of getting her Irish citizenship, as her grandparents were born there.
O’Donnell, 62, then shared more details about why she chose to relocate to another country.
“I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,” she said, referring to her non-binary child, Dakota, whom she calls Clay.
“You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” the actress added.
O’Donnell said it’s been “heartbreaking” to see “what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well.”
“The personal is political, as we all know,” she shared.
The former talk show host recently hinted at her plans to trek across the Atlantic Ocean earlier this month.
In one Instagram post, the mom of five shared a selfie taken from behind the wheel of a car, with a caption noting that she was driving on the opposite side of the road compared to the US.
“Bought a little used car to tool around the countryside on the wrong side of the road,” the former “View” co-host wrote on her now-private page.
“Hit the curb three times – thought I hit a cat !!! #newadventures .”
O’Donnell isnt the only celebrity who has fled the US following Trump’s election.
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, decided to “get the hell out” of the country immediately after the “Apprentice” alum’s victory.
The pair have since setled into a new home in the Cotswolds in South West England — nearly two hours from London.
