Earlier this year, Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem were married.

3. Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry

Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry were married earlier this year. According to “The Talk” host, being married definitely feels different. “It definitely feels different, like I thought it might feel a little different, but it feels more different than you’d expect. You feel like you’re part of this institution and official and ‘I better not mess this up!’ You feel safer, in a way, like you’ve really committed,” Gilbert said. Gilbert recently announced that she and Perry are expecting their first child together.

2. Rosie O’Donnell and Michelle Rounds

A couple of years ago, Rosie O’Donnell and Michelle Rounds finally tied the knot. The two had been engaged for a year at that point; however, after O’Donnell had a heart attack and Rounds had been diagnosed with desmoid  tumors, a rare disease that only affects three out of every million people, these two decided to speed up their wedding plans. These two are currently happily married with one child, an adopted daughter together named Dakota.
