After just returning to the daytime talk show over the summer, O'Donnell is making her second exit next week, her publicist announced yesterday. Why? Well, turns out O'Donnell is also exiting her marriage: Her publicist reveals that the soon-to-be-former talk show host split with her wife of almost three years, Michelle Rounds, in November, the AP reports, and she wants to focus on her five kids. Rosie's first stint on The View ended after just a year back in 2007. (More Rosie O'Donnell stories.) Report an error
