5 Gay Marriage Splits That Stunned
2. Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels
Singer Melissa Etheridge has plenty of heartache and drama to mine for future records. Her bitter split from former flame Tammy Lynn Michaels was about as acrimonious as it gets and continues to provide endless fodder for the gossip magazines.
The couple first hooked up in 2001. Etheridge popped the question in 2003, and the famous pair held a commitment ceremony in the fall of that year. The lavish, celeb-studded affair was held in Dick Clark's Malibu mansion. A few years later, Michaels got pregnant with the help of an anonymous sperm donor, and in October of 2006, she gave birth to the couple's twins.
