Actress and comedian head to Ireland for fresh start

Actress and comedian head to Ireland for fresh start: The actress and comedian recently shared in a TikTok video that she traveled to Ireland with her 12-year-old son Clay in mid-January. “I never thought about moving to another country, I just decided it was best for me and my son,” he explained.

O’Donnell revealed that she left on January 15 and is currently in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship because she has Irish grandparents. Expressing her gratitude, she said: “It’s been amazing, I have to say. The people have been so loving, so kind, so welcoming. And I’m so grateful.”

Despite her positive experience in Ireland, O’Donnell admitted that she misses her other children, friends, and aspects of life back home. She stressed that her move was driven by safety and equality, saying, “And when it’s safe for all citizens to have equal rights in the United States, we will consider returning.” The “League of Their Own” star also spoke about his deep concern about the political situation in the United States. He said that it’s heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically, and it’s also troubling for me personally, and we all know that the personal is political.

O’Donnell explained her decision to announce her move now: “I felt like we had to take care of ourselves, make tough decisions and follow through on them. Now that we’re settling in, I’m ready to put this out there and tell everyone what’s going on.”

He’s not the only celebrity to leave the United States in recent months. Other famous people, including Eva Longoria, Ellen DeGeneres and Richard Gere, have also decided to move abroad.
