Rosie O'Donnell's estranged wife has been pictured taking their daughter Dakota for a stroll close to her hometown today as she recovers from her rumored suicide attempt.

Michelle Rounds, 43, was spotted pushing the two-year-old girl, who is at the center of the couple's bitter divorce battle, through a parking lot in a stroller in Nanuet, New York, with a friend.

Today marks only the second time that Rounds has been seen in public since she was reportedly rushed to a New York hospital in late September after 'taking pills and drinking wine' in a hotel room.

Michelle Rounds, 43 (right), the estranged wife of Rosie O'Donnell, went out for a stroll today with the couple's adopted daughter Dakota three weeks after she reportedly tried to commit suicide

It is the second time corporate headhunter Rounds has been since in public since she was reportedly rushed to hospital after 'taking pills and drinking wine', and the first time she has been seen with her daughter

Dakota, Rounds' and O'Donnell's adopted daughter, is currently at the center of the couple's bitter divorce battle, with Rounds pushing for sole custody after disagreeing with O'Donnell's hands-off parenting style

O'Donnell was reported to have been her savior on that occasion after keeping her on the telephone long enough for medics and police to get to her.

TMZ reported that O'Donnell had tried to talk Rounds out of her plan and when she realized that she was going through with it, had someone else make a 911 call while she stayed on the phone.

Rounds, a corporate headhunter, was previously pictured in Nyack, New York, just days after she was reportedly taken to hospital, while friends told Mail Online that she was doing 'pretty good'.

On that occasion she spent much of the time making and taking telephone calls and one stage left her friend alone for 15 minutes as she spoke into her mobile.

When Daily Mail Online wished her a speedy recovery as she got up to leave she said: 'Thank you. But I will never, ever give an interview.'

Rounds (pictured with an unidentified friend) and O'Donnell were married in 2012 after a year of dating, and adopted Dakota almost a year later, before splitting in November 2014

Rounds was reportedly rushed to hospital on September 22 as O'Donnell tried to keep her on the phone while somebody else dialed 911

Rounds has been seen in public just one other time since her reported suicide attempt, in her home town of Nyack, as friends said she was doing 'pretty well'

Today she was spotted out taking a brief stroll before also making a trip to FedEx store.

Rounds, who married The View host Rosie O'Donnell back in 2012 after a year of dating, is currently locked in a bitter divorce battle with her after the pair split in November last year.

Rounds had been attempting to get sole custody of Dakota, the daughter they adopted in January 2013 , saying D'Onnell's hands-off parenting style was hurting the girl's development.

However, sources have since told Mail Online that sole custody was in fact granted to O'Donnell, though she does still allow Rounds to see the girl.

Rounds is O'Donnell's second wife after she split from Kelli Carpenter back in 2007.

O'Donnell and Carpenter were married in San Fransisco, but their union was among thousands annulled by the California Supreme Court, so they never divorced.

While Rounds had been attempting to get sole custody of Dakota, a source has since told Mail Online that O'Donnell has in fact been declared her sole guardian, but allows Rounds to keep seeing the girl

Rounds (pictured with O'Donnell last year) was The View host's second wife, after her first marriage to Kelli Carpenter broke down in 2007

Since splitting with Rounds, O'Donnell was said to have been dating Tatum O'Neal, though the pair are said to have split yesterday after a stressful few months for O'Donnell

O'Donnell has four children from that previous marriage, including daughter Chelsea, who was reported missing earlier this year, though has since insisted she was thrown out of the house.

Rounds began dating O'Donnell back in 2011, and after a short romance, the TV host announced their engagement on her show.

They adopted Dakota a year later, before splitting in November 2014, starting their divorce battle earlier this year which has yet to resolve itself.

O'Donnell was reported to have been dating Tatum O'Neal for four months since her split with Rounds, though according to People they split yesterday.

A source said: 'It wasn't working. In their four months together, they went through a lot: Rosie's father died, her daughter [Chelsea] ran away, there was a lot of of tumult. It was too much.'

O'Donnell has always denied that the couple were ever an item.
