Saturday Oct 21 12:12 AEST
AP - Rock singer Melissa Etheridge and her partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, have twins, the couple announced on Friday.
Michaels gave birth to a boy Miller Steven and girl Johnnie Rose on Tuesday.
"Tammy and the babies are in excellent health," Etheridge said on her website.
The babies were conceived using an anonymous donor from a sperm bank.
"The creation of life brings about immeasurable love, and pours hope into the future. The joy will help carry us through our upcoming sleepless nights," the couple said in a statement.
Etheridge, 45, and Michaels, 31, held a commitment ceremony in 2003.
The Grammy-winning singer has two children from her relationship with former partner Julie Cypher: daughter Bailey Jean and son Beckett.
Cypher had the children through artificial insemination using a sperm donation from rock legend David Crosby.
Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004, but is now cancer-free.
She last released a greatest hits album titled The Road Less Traveled.
Michaels starred in the 2005 NBC television comedy Committed and has appeared on Showtime's The L Word.
