Alongside the photo, O’Donnell wrote: “My boy Blake – his boy Anthony #ahigherlove #family #peace”.
Rosie’s joy further reflects the joy of expanding her family; Anthony is her fifth grandchild. The comedian, who has four other children—Parker, 31, Chelsea, 28, Vivienne, 23, and Clay, 13—has always been vocal about her love for her family. In March, she announced the birth of her grandson with an adorable black-and-white photograph highlighting the newborn’s foot, as she expressed her overwhelming emotion with the caption: “Anthony Joel O’Donnell has arrived! And my heart burst open.”
In her announcement, O’Donnell conveyed heartfelt congratulations to Blake and his wife, Teresa, stating, “Congratulations to mama Teresa n Blake Christopher — I love u so ❤️❤️❤️”. This joyful occasion marks a significant chapter in Blake and Teresa’s lives, as they embraced parenthood for the first time.
The couple’s journey to parenthood took a sweet turn a year after their wedding, when they revealed they were expecting. Their pregnancy announcement came on September 22, 2025, and featured a charming photograph of a baby onesie. The onsie had “Baby O’Donnell March 2026” printed on it, hanging alongside a sonogram photo in a sunflower-filled field. In the post, Blake and Teresa expressed their excitement, stating, “Our lives are about to get a whole lot sunnier💛🌻” and added, “Baby OD arriving March 2026💛🍼”.
Rosie’s reaction to the joyous news was also exuberant. She expressed her intense happiness in the comments section of the post, stating, “I’m just over the moon ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”. The sentiment was echoed by Kelli Carpenter, Blake’s mother and O’Donnell’s ex-wife, who added, “This fills my heart! I love the both of you so and your baby will be so loved! (And spoiled!) ❤️.”
As part of her family-centric life, Rosie often shares snippets of her personal experiences and milestones with her followers, inviting them into her world. With a career spanning decades in comedy and television, her advocacy for familial love and support shines brightly through her social media presence.
O’Donnell continues to enjoy her role as a doting grandmother, and her latest family photograph emphasises the joy and unity that come with new life in the family. With Anthony now part of the clan, Rosie O’Donnell’s family gatherings are set to become even more animated and vibrant, filled with laughter and the cherished innocence of a new generation.
