Rosie O’Donnell’s divorce is official

Rosie O’Donnell and ex-wife Michelle Rounds have settled their divorce and will make it official this week.

After announcing they reached a settlement late last year — with O’Donnell joking, “There’s peace in the Middle East” — their lawyers will head to Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday.

A rep for O’Donnell confirmed, “The divorce is finalized, this is just a formality for the paperwork to be submitted.”

O’Donnell filed to split from Rounds in February last year after just over two years of marriage.

Sources confirmed the settlement was in line with the couple’s prenup, and the two would share joint legal custody of their daughter, Dakota. Rounds’ lawyer, William D. London, declined to comment.
