Melissa Etheridge has announced that lesbian partner Tammy Lynn Michaels is pregnant with twins.

In a statement on Etheridge's official website, they revealed: “We are thrilled to announce that Tammy is pregnant, and expecting our twins sometime around this fall. To answer the obvious question: we used an anonymous donor from a [sperm] bank. The twins will be a joyful addition to our loving home. We are a blessed family.”
The 44-year-old already has two children, Bailey Jean and Beckett, from her relationship with ex-partner Julie Cypher.
