MELISSA ETHERIDGE AND LINDA WALLEM

Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem were longtime friends when they fell in love with each other while jointly taking care of Etheridge’s children, Bailey Jean Cypher, Johnnie Rose Etheridge, Miller Steven Etheridge, and Beckett Cypher. When Melissa realized that she and Linda were growing fond of each other, she thought to herself, “We were like a married couple without the benefits, so why not have the benefits!?”

The couple started dating in 2010, got engaged in 2013, and finally exchanged vows in 2014. Now they share everything from taking care of plumbing services to discussing Linda’s opinion about her work.
