Melissa Etheredge thanks her sperm donor David Crosby after picking him over Brad Pitt

Melissa Etheridge has paid tribute to David Crosby, the biological father of two of her children, following his death on Thursday.

Melissa previously revealed in 2016 how she and Julie had considered using their pal Brad Pitt as a sperm donor prior to the Fight Club actor becoming a father himself, but circumstances prevented it.
