Melissa Etheridge's Daughter Bailey Is Engaged: 'Luckiest Girl in the World'

Melissa Etheridge is going to be a mother-in-law. The singer's daughter, Bailey Jean Cypheridge, announced her engagement on Thursday.

The 27-year-old shared the news in a joint Instagram post with her now-fiancé, Jocelyn Simone, sharing a photo of the happy couple kissing and enjoying a meal together.

On her Instagram Story, Cypheridge added, "I am the luckiest girl in the world. Yours forever." She also shared a video of a dock and peaceful waves on the beach in Sag Harbor, New York.

Among those offering their well wishes was Rosie O'Donnell, who commented, "congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈"

The duo appears to have gone Instagram official in February, with Simone posting a Valentine's Day tribute at the time.

Cypheridge was born via artificial insemination to Etheridge and her then-partner, Julie Cypher. The late David Crosby was the sperm donor for both Cypheridge and her brother, Beckett, who died at 21 in May 2020 after struggling with an opioid addiction.

"He gave me the gift of family," Etheridge wrote of Crosby last year. "I will forever be grateful to him. ... His music and legacy will inspire many generations to come. A true treasure."

In addition to Cypheridge and the late Beckett, Etheridge is also mother to 17-year-old twins, son Steven Miller and daughter Johnnie Rose, from her relationship with Tammy Lynn Michaels.

Etheridge is now married to Linda Wallem.

Last year, Etheridge opened up about her her spiritual beliefs and being a bereaved parent while discussing her book, Talking to My Angels. 

"When I talk about spirit, I believe in a non-physical and a physical, and I believe that there's a spirit that we all are that we're all connected to," she said on  Good Morning America.

Of her late son, she added, "I will see him again. I believe that Beckett wants me to be happy."

The two-time GRAMMY winner noted that writing about her journey has served as a "great healer" while reflecting on lessons learned.

"I have learned so much," she said. "I learned how much I loved. Learning that can be so exhilarating. 'Wow, I loved that much that it hurt that much.' And I love being human."
