Etheridge said she and Cypher looked for a sperm donor for their children back in late 1990s and considered Pitt to be the biological father, reports a website.
"Well, actually, (Brad Pitt) was such a good friend of mine. And we did consider it," Etheridge said in an interview. However, they ended up choosing another man for the job.
"And yet, I looked and I saw how badly he wanted children and I thought, 'I don't want to share this with someone who really, badly wants children because my children don't need another parent — they have two'," she explained.
Etheridge said that she finally chose David Crosby, the member of Crosby, Stills & Nash. She gave birth to daughter Bailey in 1977 and son Beckett in 1998.
