Rosie O'Donnell's fiancee Michelle Rounds flashes engagement ring shortly after couple announces engagement

The only thing brighter than her shiny new engagement ring is her smile.

Michelle Rounds, Rosie O'Donnell's recently proclaimed fiancée, flashed a little bling in a photo that O'Donnell tweeted Monday night.

"so so so happy," the actress and comedian wrote.


O'Donnell, 49, and Rounds, 40, stepped out officially as a couple back in September and the TV host has often joked about their initial meeting at a local Starbucks.

"I thought she was a 28-year-old heterosexual girl, because that's what she looked like to me. And she's a 40-year-old gay woman," O'Donnell said on ABC's "Nightline" in October. "My gaydar was way off!"


Rounds' family were taken by surprise as well.

It soon surfaced that none of her close relatives knew the headhunter was a lesbian until they read about it in the papers.

"It totally hit us out of left field," Rounds' father, Roger Rounds, told the National Enquirer in October. "This has been a painful experience for me and my wife.

"We'd always held out hope that Michelle would eventually find a nice guy to marry, settle downa nd have kids."

Rounds will soon be, however, stepmom to O'Donnell's four children from her previous marriage to Kelli Carpenter.
