During this turbulent time, Chelsea changed her last name to that of her biological mother, Deanna Micoley, and was removed from Rosie’s $80 million estate.

On July 8, 2025, Rosie posted a touching Instagram screenshot of a FaceTime call with Chelsea and her young son Atlas, showing a rare, warm family moment.
Rosie expressed pride in Chelsea’s recovery progress, sharing that Chelsea is currently in a drug rehabilitation program and supported by her family.
Around the same period, Rosie moved to Ireland for safety reasons, especially for her youngest child Clay, who has autism. She has spoken positively about her new life there and plans to launch live sessions on social media.
While their relationship has been strained by legal troubles, emotional distance, and physical separation, the recent FaceTime call reveals hope for healing and a renewed family bond.
Ireland may offer Rosie peace, but the connection with her children, especially Chelsea, remains an ongoing journey.
