Melissa Etheridge: Why I didn’t use Brad Pitt as a sperm donor

Ain’t it heavy. 

Musician Melissa Etheridge has revealed the real reason why Brat Pitt wasn’t the sperm donor for her kids.

“He was a friend of mine a long time ago. People would say, who is Brad Pitt to you? And I’d say, ‘Well, he’s the father of my children’ or something. I would joke around,” Etheridge, 63, told The Post while promoting her new documentary “Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken,” (out today on Paramount+). 

“When Brad Pitt was younger, it was always clear that he wanted children. He loved children. He would come over and actually play with my kids,” the “Ain’t It Heavy” singer added. 

The Grammy winner, who came out as a lesbian in 1993 and has been married to “Nurse Jackie” co-creator Linda Wallem since 2014, is a mother of four. 

Etheridge had son Beckett and daughter Bailey Jean, 27, with her ex partner, Julie Cypher, and she also had twins Johnnie Rose and Miller Steven, 17, with her ex partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels.
