Melissa Etheridge Wife - It's funny to see how someone who has been always there suddenly becomes the couple of another person, the central love. Such is the case of Melissa Etheridge and her wife, Linda Wallem, who was her best friend before getting married on May 31st, this year.
They have known each other for years, actually Melissa Etheridge, the musician, gave an interview in 2011 to Revue, where she stated she had known her wife, who was her girlfriend at that time, for nine years already, which would mean that by now, they have known each other for twelve years and been best friends for that long as well.
At the time, she also stated in that same interview, "I've never been friends with someone for that long and then entered into a romantic relationship. Usually it's that you enter a romantic relationship and hope you can be friends. This way, she already knows everything. She's my friend and it's really pretty amazing. I'm happier than I've ever, ever been."
Who is Melissa Etheridge's wife, Linda Wallem? She works in the industry. She is actually the Co-creator of Nurse Jackie, the TV series that has started in 2009 and continues. She was also the Co-Executive Producer of That 70's Show (1998-2002), and Producer in Cybill (1995-1998), among other things.
In 2011, in that same interview mentioned before, they were planning both Melissa Etheridge with her then girlfriend and now wife, Linda Wallem to do a Broadway Musical together.
It was actually quite a year as Fearless Love, an album by Melissa Etheridge, which was released in 2010 brought a lot of talking and media publicity as she did it after suffering breast cancer and also ending her marriage with Tammy Etheridge, who even posted in her blog, according to ABC, that she realized Melissa Etheridge was in a new relationship through the lyrics in the latest album.
Finally, on May 31st, Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem became wives only two days after celebrating their birthday on May 29th, as they share the same birthday. Melissa Etheridge posted in her Twitter about the big day, "True love... so blessed. 'By the power invested in me by the state of California...' Thanks."
