Rosie O’Donnell is officially engaged to girlfriend Elizabeth Rooney, E! News can confirm.

The comedian made the announcement on Monday in an interview with People. However, she said they decided it’s best for the wedding to be “a long time in the future.” At the moment, the two are in a long-distance relationship, with Rooney living in Boston and O’Donnell living with daughter Dax in New York.

O’Donnell said Rooney do not seem to mind the 23-year age difference one bit. “I keep telling her I’m too old for her. But she doesn’t seem to care... She’s like, ‘I was in the Army! I put my life on the line every day, you think I don’t know who I want to date?’ I’m like, ‘Alright I guess that’s true,’” O’Donnell told People.

O’Donnell first went public with the news of her relationship with the 33-year-old in November 2017 when she visited the “Howard Stern Show.”

Prior to her relationship with Rooney, the comedian was married to Michelle Rounds, who died in September 2017 of suicide. The pair divorced in 2015, but in a statement, O’Donnell said, “I am saddened to hear about this terrible tragedy. Mental illness is a very serious issue affecting many families. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michelle’s family, her wife and their child.” During their relationship, the two adopted their daughter, Dakota, who now goes by Dax and lives with O’Donnell in New York.

And before that, the comedienne was married to Kelli Carpenter, with whom she shares four children, aged 4 through 22.
