Rosie O'Donnell will return to television on October 10 with a new talk show on OWN.

But the controversial comedian isn't waiting that long to debut her new girlfriend: she introduced Michelle Rounds to the world last night at her annual Rosie Theater Kids Gala in New York City.

"They met at a Starbucks a few months ago," an insider tells People. "They are adorable together and are very, very happy."

O'Donnell, who has not appeared regularly on the small screen since leaving The View, has four children with former partner Kelli Carpenter. They got married in 2004 and split three years later.
