On April 8th, Melissa Etheridge recently opened up about a hilarious moment with her late son Becket, who once came out to her as straight and even, apologized for not being gay. She shared this lighthearted story on the Kelly Clarkson show, poking fun at how she jokingly told him it was just a phase. The anecdote got big laughs from Clarkson in the audience, but it ties into deeper pain. Becket passed away on May 13th, 2020, from... him and daughter Bailey, now 28, with ex-partner Julie Cipher. She also has 19-year-old twins, Johnny Rose and Miller Steven, from her marriage to Tammy Lynn Michaels. Losing Becket hit hard, but Etheridge draws strength from her family and a spiritual outlook. Etheridge finds relief knowing death comes for us all, viewing life as spiritual beings in human form. Her mantra is to live with love for others, and especially yourself. To break cycles of grief, blame, and shame tie to addiction. That belief comforts her,

as she often senses Becket's presence around her, turning sorrow into something peaceful. I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to entertainment and celebrity news today. AI-powered pop culture coverage.
