Melissa Etheridge Is Getting Married!

“Yes, we have four children and we’re trying to find the right time,” she told Extra.

Etheridge, 47, and Michaels, 33, first exchanged vows in Malibu in 2003.

Now that gay marriage is legalized in California, the couple will make it official.

“We are so grateful for the blessings from our friends and family as we commence our vows, and begin the rest of our lives together,” the pair, who exchanged platinum-and-diamond wedding bands, said in a statement at the time.

In 2006, they welcomed twins, a boy named Miller Steven and a girl named Johnnie Rose.

Etheridge already has two children from a previous relationship with Julie Cypher: daughter Bailey Jean and son Beckett. (Bailey Jean and Beckett were conceived via artificial insemination courtesy of friend and rock legend David Crosby.)

Etheridge, a breast cancer survivor, also told Extra how she broke the news to her children four years ago.

“They were there when I discussed the lump with Tammy…and [we] said, ‘Mama has a lump in her breast and this lump could be many things, but we need to check and see what it is because if it is a cold, it might spread to her whole body and be really bad for it,’” she said.
