Rosie O’Donnell’s son is married!
Blake O’Donnell exchanged vows with his longtime girlfriend Teresa Garofalow Westervelt in a ceremony held on Friday evening, Aug. 16. Rosie, 62, posted photos of the sweet occasion on her Instagram on Saturday, including a shot of the newlyweds sharing an intimate moment together during their first dance.
“The O’Donnell’s first dance,” Rosie captioned the image, which showed her youngest son, 24, wearing a white suit jacket and his new wife in a lacy, long-sleeved wedding gown, complete with a bustle in the back, as the pair danced together.
In another picture, the newlyweds could be seen kissing, with the entire family cheering on the happy moment.
The former View host also shared several snaps of her and her son’s mother-son dance together, and revealed in the caption that they used Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 track “Time After Time” for their song.
“If ur lost u can look and u will find me – time after time – our mother son dance song,” she wrote in the caption of one post, adding in another: “So much love ❤️.”
For her son’s big day, Rosie wore a sage green pantsuit covered with watercolor floral designs and a white shirt.

Rosie shared two photos from the proposal, one of which showed Blake down on one knee in a theater aisle. The second photo showed a surprise celebrity guest — Hillary Clinton — with the happy couple, as she happened to be in attendance at the Broadway performance.

Blake and Teresa have been dating for six and a half years, according to an anniversary post on his Instagram account. “5 years ago I slid into your dm and I’m soooo grateful you didn’t ignore me,” he wrote in 2021.
“I am so lucky to have fallen in love with such an amazing person,” he added. “Happy late anniversary baby girl.”
