Back in June, Rosie admitted that the pregnancy helped her and her formerly estranged daughter mend their relationship. “We have reconnected,” a rep told People.

The pair previously had a strained and tumultuous relationship for years. Back in 2015, when she was 17, Chelsea ran away from home. She later claimed that Rosie actually kicked her out.

In September 2017, Chelsea claimed she was pregnant by her now ex-husband Nick Alliegro. Though that pregnancy announcement didn’t result in a baby, at the time, she was adamant that Rosie would not be allowed in her child’s life.

“Rosie will not be in my child’s life, and no, I do not feel sad about that, to be honest,” she said. However, it appears she has now changed her tune.
