Rosie O’Donnell Shares Recent Photo of Daughter Chelsea Months after Multiple Arrests, Igniting Online Reactions
Over the years, the talk show host’s daughter has dealt with personal issues regarding her mother and legal issues.
Because of their tense relationship, Chelsea O’Donnell changed her last name, and her mother took her out of her will.
On July 8, 2025, Rosie O’Donnell shared a sweet photo during a FaceTime chat with her grandson Atlas and oldest daughter Chelsea O’Donnell on Instagram.
The picture shows Chelsea cuddling up to her baby kid during a video conference, and they are both grinning at the screen.
The adorable family conversation during their FaceTime connection is completed when Rosie shows up in the corner.
With the comment, “chelsea atlas and me #welldone,” the mother of four sparked a range of responses from her fans.
The post immediately attracted Rosie’s followers’ attention and generated a rush of replies because it captured a unique moment of time spent together.
“Yippee- hope Chelsea is doing okay🙌,” wrote one admirer.
“Every one of her kids is gorgeous! 🤩” said another.
“I am so happy for you all,” a third person wrote.
A lovely family!
So happy to see Chelsea doing so well!
A second voice said, “Family support!
Chelsea is looking fantastic!
In a nutshell, one follower said, “nothing better than seeing your kids happy and healthy [sic].”
The supportive remarks from supporters were sent just months after Chelsea’s struggles made headlines.
Following three arrests in the fall, the 27-year-old was reportedly given a six-year probationary sentence, according to Wisconsin court documents.
Having methamphetamine, violating her release conditions, and resisting or obstructing a police officer were the three offenses she admitted to.

A two-year probationary period was attached to each charge.
The court dismissed the remaining two charges, one for drug possession and the other for possessing items connected to drugs.
After the court ruling, Rosie O’Donnell provided an update on her daughter’s recuperation.
According to a statement her mother posted:
“At the moment, Chelsea is doing well in a drug rehabilitation program.
We (her family) adore and support her and are thankful for the chance she has to get well and figure out how to lead a sober life.
I am really proud of her improvement.”

Rosie shared her support and then made a significant move with regard to her estate.
The comedian stripped Chelsea of her $80 million fortune as she was embroiled in legal issues.
As a result, Chelsea, who was adopted, decided to go by Neuens and submitted paperwork to regain her birth mother’s last name, Deanna Micoley.
This choice was apparently reached by Rosie just before her January 2025 move to Ireland.
Shortly thereafter, Rosie explained why she went abroad to start again.
She clarified that her decision was heavily influenced by worries for both her safety and the protection of her autistic 12-year-old son, Clay, adding:
“I’ve never had one moment where I have regretted moving here.”
The actress used social media to give her followers a little peek into her new life abroad.
When someone inquired on Instagram about her experience living in Ireland, she responded, “@lscoggs – a true blessing; the people are kind, compassionate, hospitable, and humorous; I feel that it has benefited me in every aspect.
Although residents cautioned her not to count on it much, Rosie also talked about how much she loved Dublin’s beautiful weather.
The celebrity also shared her ideas and suggested another option for her admirers to stay in touch with her.
In her post, “check me out on #substax if u like – gonna go live there soon #rosieodonnell,” she alluded to her impending live appearance on the platform.
Rosie O’Donnell’s recent encounter with Chelsea and Atlas provided insight into a family that is still figuring things out.
The bond between mother and daughter endures despite prior hardships and negative publicity.
Rosie now has a new beginning in Ireland, where she may find peace and comfort.
With every post, she demonstrates that familial ties can endure hardship.
