Rosie O’Donnell admitted moving to a new country is ‘not easy,’ but she said it was the ‘best’ option for her and her family.

The talk show host, 62, opened up about how she and her 12-year-old kid Clay have been adjusting to life in Ireland in a TikTok video, which she posted on Thursday.

In the clip, she said she is ‘proud and impressed’ with Clay’s resilience with their big move and their new home, which she noted has helped improve her own health in many ways.

Clay is her youngest kid, who is non-binary and goes by they/them pronouns, out of five including four adult children.

She is also mother to sons Parker, 29, Blake, 25, and daughters Chelsea, 27, Vivienne, 22.

She also announced her upcoming appearance on Patrick Kielty‘s The Late Late Show on Friday, which also happens to be her 63rd birthday.

Earlier this month, she confirmed that she moved her family to Ireland to flee from President Donald Trump‘s America and, later, got a scathing response from him.

The talk show host, 62, opened up about how she and her 12-year-old kid Clay have been adjusting to life in a new country in a TikTok video, which she posted on Thursday

The diehard liberal actress and comedienne — who has a long history of speaking out against the conservative president — said she plans to return to the United States ‘when it’s safe for all citizens to have equal rights.’

‘It’s not easy to move to another country, and we really felt as a family this was the safest and best thing for us to do.’

The View alum opened up about how living in Dublin has positively benefitted her health in many ways.

‘I feel healthier, I’m sleeping better without the stress and anxiety over what was happening politically in the country,’ she said, referring to the United States.

O’Donnell then referenced her ‘feud’ with Trump and the changes he has made since he was inaugurated on January 20.

‘I knew that it would really tax me emotionally to have to do that,’ she said about living in Trump’s America. ‘So I’m very happy that we made the decision that we made.’

She said she would be talking more about her decision to leave America on the late night talk show but shared more insight in her TikTok video.

‘I was never someone who thought I would move to another country,’ she said about her move to the country her grandparents are from originally.

‘You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country,’ she added.

‘And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in American, that’s when we will consider coming back.’

She said that while it is ‘heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically’ in the U.S., she finds it ‘wonderful’ to be welcomed by the people of Ireland.

‘It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful.’

She has been living there already for nearly two months, moving to Ireland just days before Trump’s inauguration.
