Rosie O’Donnell and girlfriend Aimee Hauer make their red carpet debut

Rosie O’Donnell and her new girlfriend, Aimee Hauer, made their red carpet debut Saturday.

The former “The View” co-host and Hauer posed for photos at the Stand Up for Friendly House comedy benefit at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, where they could be seen smiling as they wrapped their arms around each other.

It was a big night for O’Donnell, 60, who served as host of the sold-out event.

Also in attendance was O’Donnell’s good friend Kathy Griffin, who returned to the stage for the first time since her battle with lung cancer.

The “Now and Then” star became Instagram-official with Hauer on June 1, which also was the first day of Pride Month.

Hauer revealed on the “Lesbian Speaking” podcast in 2021 that she was raised as a strict Mormon in Boise, Idaho. She got married “out of duty” when she was just 21 and welcomed a daughter named Izzie. Five years later, she got divorced and underwent an eight-year court battle for her daughter before winning full custody. She also has a son.

Meanwhile, the “Sleepless in Seattle” star was previously engaged to Boston police officer Elizabeth Rooney. The two broke up in late 2019 after two years together.

O’Donnell was previously married to Kelli Carpenter, with whom she shares children Parker, 27, Chelsea, 24, Blake, 22, and Vivienne, 19, as well as Michelle Rounds, with whom she adopted daughter Dakota, now 9. Rounds tragically died by suicide in 2017.
