Rosie O'Donnell Welcomes Baby No. 5: Dakota

[McJag]

Well is it homemade or store bought? I can't recall hearing of a pregnancy. Ar any rate, that babe is cute.

[Quat]

It's a sweet picture. Congrats to them.

[gas_chick]

Congrats to them.

[NoNoRehab]

Didn't she say on Stern or something that she can't handle teenagers so she send the oldest to military school out of state or something?

[ConstanceSpry]

^^Ah, so the new one is a replacement!

[Catty]

Looks like she was adopted.

It's baby number five for Rosie O'Donnell!

The comedian and wife Michelle Rounds welcomed daughter Dakota this week via adoption, Rosie's rep revealed to Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

Born on January 5, Dakota weighed in at five pounds, five ounces.

Rosie, Michelle and little Dakota are "happy and healthy," the rep told Access.

The former talk show host shared a photo of herself with Michelle and their new baby on her Instagram on Wednesday with the caption, "we r thrilled to announce the arrival of r daughter Dakota -#withloveandthanks -- AMEN."

Rosie and Michelle secretly married in a private ceremony in June 2012, after Michelle was diagnosed with desmoid tumors. The newlyweds announced the happy news in late August.

Rosie, who last appeared on the small screen on OWN hosting "The Rosie Show," previously dated Tracy Kachtick-Anders until they split in 2011.

She was also with longtime partner Kelli Carpenter from 2004 to 2007.

Rosie and Kelli have four children together - Parker, Chelsea and Blake, who were all adopted and Vivienne Rose, who Kelli gave birth to in 2002.

Did Kelli adopt Parker? I thought Rosie already had him when they met. Maybe even another child. I could be wrong.

The four other kids stay with Kelli. Something happened, don't know what. But Kelli is their primary parent now.

[Brookie]

If one of your parents was Rosie O'Donnell, you'd stay with Kelli too.

[Palermo]

Remember when she adopted a little girl and then returned her? I cannot stand her since then

[sluce]

^Are you talking about the little girl she took in as a foster child with her previous girlfriend, but then the great state of Florida removed her from the home when they tried to adopt her as a same sex couple which is illegal in Florida?

The four other kids stay with Kelli. Something happened, don't know what. But Kelli is their primary parent now.

Where did you hear that? It is my understanding that they have joint custody and Rosie has the kids a lot. They still visit with the kids of her previous gf from right before Michelle.

I hope Rosie and Michelle have their health issues resolved since they are now responsible for parenting another child for 18 years.

[olivia]

Something I heard swirling around a gay community after she broke up with Kelli. Could be false, but Kelli is mostly in charge of the kids.

[Icepik]

Rosie looks just like Lou Costello

[KrisNine]

I thought she gave up a foster child, too. I thought it was a girl that has severe behavior issues. I didn't know the state took the child back.
