Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed her engagement to partner Elizabeth Rooney.

 

The comedian publicised her relationship with the military veteran last year and the two have been head over heels ever since.

 

Rosie gushed about her fiance, telling People: “She’s very much an equal, she’s very much her own person and loves what she does. She’s a pretty unbelievable young woman.”

Elizabeth currently works as a police officer in Massachusetts while Rosie resides in New York, so the two have been dating long distance.

 

It is unclear when or if this is going to change as their big day approaches, but until then the lovebirds are perfectly happy with where their relationship is at.

 

Rosie and her fiance share a love of UFC, and the former View co-host loves the fact that her partner was an undefeated boxing champion in the army.

Elizabeth will be step-mum to Rosie’s five children from previous relationships - Parker (23), Chelsea (21), Blake (18), Vivienne (15), and Dakotah (5).

 

And despite the their 23 year age gap, the happy couple seem more in sync than ever, commenting that the age difference does not affect their relationship in the slightest.

 

Rosie told the magazine that whenever she tells Elizabeth she is too old for her, her fiance shoots down her statement.

 

“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?” she says.
