2000: Rolling Stone reveals in January that the two children of Melissa Etheridge and her partner, Julie Cypher, were fathered by David Crosby. The children are daughter Bailey Jean, born in February 1997, and Beckett, born in November 1998. Cypher and Etheridge split later ... morethis year, and Etheridge would go on to wed Tammy Lynn Michaels in 2003 and have two more children (via anonymous sperm donor). At the time of the announcement, Cypher told CBS, "We consider [Crosby] their male role model, if you will. They get a taste of being with that sort of energy on a regular basis because I feel that's important, too." Bailey and Becket continue to have a close relationship with Crosby as well as their two moms.
