Rosie O’Donnell and her wife, Michelle Rounds, are celebrating the arrival of their first child together, a baby girl named Dakota: “we r thrilled to announce the arrival of r daughter Dakota – #withloveandthanks – AMEN” Rosie wrote on her Instagram.

This is the fifth child for Rosie, whose oldest, Parker, is 17 years old.

Rosie and Michelle married last year after meeting in line at Starbucks. Both have suffered recent health ailments: Rosie had a heart attack in 2012, and Michelle underwent surgery for desmoid tumours.

It has not been revealed whether Dakota is the result of surrogacy, adoption or if Michelle gave birth to her.
