built 234 days ago
In the next year, Etheridge announced that her live-in partner Julie Cypher was pregnant, and in 1997 the couple had their first child, a daughter named Bailey Jean. In 1998, their family had another addition when Cypher gave birth to Beckett, a son. It was later revealed that the father of their child (by artificial insemination) is singer David Crosby, of the classic folk-rock band, Crosby, Stills and Nash. Etheridge and Cypher announced their separation in September 2000, and in 2003, Etheridge wed actress Tammy Lynn Michaels. The following year, the singer canceled an upcoming tour after announcing she had breast cancer. The cancer was caught early, and her doctor expects her to make a full recovery.
