The estranged daughter of the longtime TV personality announced the news in a new interview with Daily Mail and said, “It’s very exciting, and I’m looking forward to it.”
“I really don’t care if I have a boy or a girl, I’m just hoping for a healthy baby. Nick would really like a boy,” she continued. “But as far as I am concerned, so long as it’s healthy, that’s what matters.”
Chelsea also said that O’Donnell will not be involved in her baby’s life.
“Rosie will not have a part in this child’s life … Rosie and I don’t have a relationship any more. I don’t think it can ever be mended. I really don’t think there is any hope for our relationship,” she said.

O’Donnell has not publicly made a statement about the news, though she tweeted a cryptic message early Wednesday morning that seemed to allude to Chelsea.
“Dakotas ear surgery – u next to me – carrying ur sister out of the hospital – past her and her mom – late for school – protecting ur family,” she wrote following the news. The tweet referenced her 4-year-old daughter, Dakota.
The relationship between O’Donnell and Chelsea has been strained for years and reached a head when Chelsea was reported missing by O’Donnell in 2015. The then 17-year-old was found in New Jersey at the home of a 26-year-old man who had an arrest record. No charges were filed, as Chelsea said she was there voluntarily.
Chelsea is currently nine weeks pregnant and due May 2018.
