Rosie O’Donnell Relocates to Ireland Following Trump’s Re-Election

The comedian and former talk-show host cites political concerns and a desire for equal rights as reasons for her move with her 12-year-old child.

Rosie O’Donnell announced she moved to Ireland on January 15, just days before Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as U.S. president.
She relocated with her 12-year-old child, Dakota, and is in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship due to her grandparents' heritage.
O’Donnell expressed her dismay over the current political climate in the U.S., stating she will only consider returning when equal rights are guaranteed for all citizens.
The actress and comedian shared her positive experiences in Ireland, describing the people as kind and welcoming while acknowledging she misses her older children and friends in the U.S.
O’Donnell joins other celebrities, such as Ellen DeGeneres and James Cameron, who have moved abroad citing dissatisfaction with Trump’s presidency.
