Rosie O’Donnell's New Bundle of Joy

Rosie O’Donnell is absolutely over the moon as she celebrates the arrival of her adorable grandson, Anthony Joel. The 64-year-old comedian and actress took to Instagram on Sunday, April 5, to share the tender moment of meeting her son Blake's newborn, whom he shares with his wife, Teresa. In the sweet snapshot, Rosie is seen cradling little Anthony, wearing a cozy blue ribbed sweater and black pants, while looking joyfully at the camera. Little Anthony, snug in a brown hat, Pooh Bear shirt, and orange pants, stole the show with his cuteness.

“Best day ever,” Rosie captioned the post. “Met my grandson anthony – truly a beautiful child – im so proud of the happy parents teresa and blake #nana.”

Family Love Overflowing

Rosie didn't stop there. She also shared a heartwarming picture of her children, Vivienne and Clay, bonding with their new nephew. Rosie shares Parker, 30, Chelsea, 28, Blake, 26, and Vivienne, 23, with her ex-wife, Kelli Carpenter. She welcomed Clay with her late ex-wife, Michelle Rounds. "Thrilled to have vivi and clay with me as we all meet the new baby #blakeandteresa #anthonyjoel #odonnell," she wrote, receiving a flurry of congratulatory messages from fans.

Fans couldn't hold back their excitement either, showering Rosie with love and celebratory comments. "What a sweet soul. Congratulations to you and the family. Glorious 💙," one fan gushed. Another added, "Sending all the love your way."

Family Ties and Cherished Memories

Anthony Joel made his grand entrance on March 26 and has already captured his grandmother's heart. Rosie proudly announced his birth on Instagram, sharing a black-and-white photo of his tiny foot. "Anthony Joel O’Donnell has arrived! and my heart burst open," she lovingly expressed. "Congratulations to mama teresa n blake christopher– i love u so ❤️❤️❤️."

Rosie is no stranger to grandparenthood. She's already a proud grandma to four more grandchildren. Her daughter Chelsea shares Skylar, 7, Riley, 5, and Avery, 4, with ex Jacob Bourassa, and Atlas, 2, with Jacob Nelund. With such a large and loving family, Rosie's heart is undoubtedly full.

Rosie's family journey has seen its ups and downs. She and Carpenter expanded their family through adoption and artificial insemination. After their split in 2009, Rosie found love again with Michelle Rounds, whom she married in 2012 and adopted Clay with. Sadly, Rounds passed away in 2017.
