Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed that she and partner Kelli Carpenter are on the rocks, usmagazine.com reports. In a new interview with USA Today, she says, “We’re a family. We will remain a family forever. And we are working on our issues.”

The 47-year-old O’Donnell — who has been suggesting a split on her blog — wouldn’t confirm a National Enquirer report that Carpenter, 42, has moved out of their Nyack, NY, home and into Manhattan. (USA Today notes that Carpenter was not at the house during the interview.)

O’Donnell noted that the well-being of their four children — Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12 and Blake, 9, and Vivienne (Vivi), 6 — is top priority.
