Rosie O’Donnell’s heart 'bursts open' as new baby arrives

Rosie O'Donnell is bursting with joy after welcoming yet another bundle of love into her ever-growing family, officially making her a proud grandmother of five.

The 64-year-old comedian took to Instagram on Saturday to share the heart-melting news that her son Blake and his wife Teresa have welcomed a baby boy. 

Alongside a touching black-and-white snap of the newborn’s tiny foot, Rosie revealed the adorable name, Anthony Joel O’Donnell.

“Anthony Joel O’Donnell has arrived! And my heart burst open,” she gushed, clearly overwhelmed with emotion. 

She also sent her love to the new parents, writing: “Congratulations to mama Teresa n Blake Christopher — I love u so.”

The arrival has been eagerly anticipated, with The Rosie Show star previously sharing sweet moments of the couple counting down to their baby’s birth. 

Just days before the big moment, she posted a photo of Blake cradling Teresa’s baby bump, teasing: “Here comes the baby boy!!! any day now!!!”

Blake, 26, and Teresa had first announced their pregnancy last year, a year after tying the knot with a dreamy sunflower-filled post featuring a tiny onesie reading “Baby O’Donnell March 2026.” 

They captioned it: “Our lives are about to get a whole lot sunnier.”

Rosie, clearly thrilled from the start, had commented she was “over the moon,” while her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter added the baby would be “so loved (and spoiled!).”

The TV favourite is already a doting gran, having welcomed grandson Atlas in 2023 through her daughter Chelsea.
