Rosie O’Donnell revealed she’s in love with her new girlfriend whom she met through TikTok.
“I watched her little videos and every time I saw her I would smile and (be) like, ‘This woman is perfect. Look at her, she’s so happy and enthusiastic and bright and she has a light coming from her,’” O’Donnell, 60, gushed Monday on “The Howard Stern Show.”
The “View” alum said she has never contacted anyone she’s wanted to date through the social media app, but couldn’t resist Hauer and sent her a direct message.
“I thought maybe we would be friends, I said, ‘You’re very beautiful, I love your look,’ and 10 days later she wrote me back a little video. she was singing a song,” the actress explained.
O’Donnell added that the couple are taking things slow, but, “I’m in love, I am. she’s really kind and wonderful.”
“I like the pace that we’re going at, it’s not a U-Haul situation,” she quipped.
O’Donnell also shared that her new love, who has 23 tattoos, is “very, very sexy to me.”
Hauer and the former talk show host became Instagram-official on June 1 — the first day of Pride Month — and made their red carpet debut a month later at the Stand Up for Friendly House comedy benefit in Los Angeles.
Hauer revealed on the “Lesbian Speaking” podcast last year that she was raised as a strict Mormon in Idaho. She got married at age 21 and welcomed a daughter named Izzie. Five years later, she got divorced and underwent a brutal nearly decade-long court battle before winning full custody. She also has a son.
O’Donnell was previously married to Kelli Carpenter, with whom she shares children Parker, 27, Chelsea, 24, Blake, 22, and Vivienne, 19, as well as Michelle Rounds, with whom she adopted daughter Dakota, now 9. Rounds died by suicide in 2017.
She was also previously engaged to Boston police officer Elizabeth Rooney. The two broke up in late 2019 after two years together.
Not that O’Donnell is eager to tie the knot again.
“No, we’re not doing a third marriage, two is enough, I promise you,” she told Stern and his sidekick Robin Quivers. “Two is enough. I would say it’s not my best thing.”
