Rosie O'Donnell to Sign Off from 'The View' Next Week

Remember a few weeks ago when many tabloids and blogs reported that Rosie Perez was leaving ABC's 'The View' and it didn't happen.

Those people had the wrong Rosie.

Yes Rosie is leaving 'The View" but, it's Rosie O'Donnell and not Perez.

Page Six says that Rosie O’Donnell and her wife, Michelle Rounds, have split, and O’Donnell will leave “The View” next week to concentrate on her family’s well-being, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

Sources close to O’Donnell told us that she and Rounds, her wife of three years, have been living apart for months, and that O’Donnell feels she must leave the ABC daytime show to focus on her five kids.

Rosie’s rep, Cindi Berger, confirmed the marital split, as well O’Donnell’s departure from “The View,” in a statement Friday night: “I can confirm that Rosie and her wife Michelle split in November. Rosie has teens and an infant at home that need her attention. This has been a very stressful situation. She is putting her personal health and family first. ABC has been wonderfully understanding and supportive of her personal decision to leave ‘The View.’ Next week will be her last.”
