The talk show host-and-actress will return to television on October 10 with a new show on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network.

The American comedienne introduced her new girlfriend Michelle Rounds on Monday night at her annual Rosie Theater Kids Gala in New York City.

According to a source, Rosie is thrilled to have met her new partner.

"They met at a Starbucks a few months ago," a source told People. "They are adorable together and are very, very happy."

Rosie was in high spirits at the event and true to her risqu style, made a joke about her underwear. The 49-year-old star teased onstage that she had just bought a new red bra "with the underpants that match and everything."

Rosie decided to come out as a lesbian in 2002, and she now admits "the only people who didn't know were the audience". She subsequently married marketing executive Kelli Carpenter in 2004. They separated three years later.

Rosie raises four children with her former partner and says they will always be the most important thing in her life.

"I would die for any of my children, and, more importantly, I would live for any of them," she previously explained. (C) Cover Media
