“The situation was special with my partner at the time because she had been adopted and she wanted her children to know who their biological father was,” Etheridge told People. “So we weren’t going to go to a sperm bank because she wanted them to know.”Etheridge thought that Crosby was “perfect,” adding that he was already a dad to his own children and therefore wouldn’t seek out a close relationship with her kids.
“To me, I didn’t want someone who wanted to be a father... I didn’t want all of a sudden my children to have...‘Oh, there’s dad,’” Etheridge said. “And who am I? That sort of thing.”Etheridge ― who is also mom to 17-year-old twins with ex Tammy Lynn Michaels ― told People that her experience with Crosby “really taught me about generosity.”
