Kelli Carpenter-O'Donnell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kelli Carpenter, a former Nickelodeon marketing executive, is co-founder of R. Family Vacations and partner of actress and talk show host Rosie O'Donnell.

Kelli and Rosie were introduced by Rosie's brother Daniel. On February 26, 2004, Kelli entered into a union with Rosie in San Francisco, some two weeks after mayor Gavin Newsom authorized the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples which was later determined to be illegal under California law.

Rosie and Kelli are parents to adopted children Parker Jaren (born May 25, 1995), Chelsea Belle (born September 20, 1997), Blake Christopher (born December 5, 1999). Vivienne Rose was born November 29, 2002 to Kelli through sperm donation.

Rosie and Kelli, along with friend Gregg Kaminsky, currently operate R. Family Vacations, a travel company geared towards gay and lesbian families. A documentary film about the maiden cruise that set sail on July 11, 2004, was a look inside the lives of some of the 500 families that cruised from New York to the Bahamas. The documentary, All Aboard: Rosie's Family Cruise, debuted on HBO on April 6, 2006, and is now available on DVD.

The O'Donnell and Carpenter family now divides its time between homes in South Nyack, New York, and Miami, Florida.
