Former TV talk show diva Rosie O’Donnell is planning to move in with her new girlfriend, artist and children’s advocate Tracy Kachtick-Anders. O’Donnell tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview airing on Monday that she still wants ex-wife Kelli Carpenter to live as close as possible to facilitate co-parenting of the former couple’s children.

Rosie O’Donnell tells Oprah Winfrey she was attracted to new girlfriend Tracy Kachtick-Anders the first time she saw her. “She got out of the car in Miami and I was like, zoinks, you know, because she’s absolutely gorgeous and, I don’t know, I felt like I knew her right away.”

O’Donnell said she and Kachtick-Anders plan to move in together “as soon as we can arrange the kids’ thing where she lives in Texas, you know.”  Kachtick-Anders has six children of her own to add to O’Donnell’s four kids with Kelli Carpenter.

Even though she’s moved on to a new love, O’Donnell tells Oprah she still wants her ex, Kelli Carpenter, as close as possible. The former talk show host says Carpenter “lives nearby” but it is still “not close enough. I wanted her to live in the same town, and she was like, ‘I don’t know how good that’s going to be for me.’”

Even though their romantic relationship has ended, O’Donnell says she and Carpenter share a comfortable co-parenting existence of their four kids.

Screw Jon & Kate Plus 8, we think Rosie & Tracy & Kelli Plus 10 would make an insanely entertaining reality show…
