Talk show host Rosie O'Donnell says she's in love.
The forty-nine-year-old actor-comedian told PEOPLE that she's head over heels in love with I.T headhunter Michelle Rounds, 40.
“I did not expect it when I met her at Starbucks,” O'Donnell said of their months-old relationship.
“She didn't look like any lesbian I'd ever met,” she added. “But it's fun and very exciting.”
O'Donnell returns to television on Monday with a new nightly talk show on Oprah Winfrey's OWN cable network. The Rosie Show marks O'Donnell's long-anticipated return to television.
In March, O'Donnell, who came out gay in 2002 and shares 4 children with ex-wife Kelli Carpenter, told shock jock Howard Stern that she and girlfriend Tracy Kachtick-Anders, an artist who is raising six children, had not split.
“We didn't really break up,” O'Donnell said. “She just has six kids … and I have four. It's insanity.”
Previously, O'Donnell had referred to her relationship with Kachtick-Anders as the Gay-dy Bunch: “Tracy has six kids, she lives next door … It's a lot! We're the Gay-dy Bunch! It's a challenge, but when you fall in love with someone, they come with a whole bunch of things, including children.”
