According to the bastion of hard-news reporting, _People_ magazine, Cypher
and Etheridge have been together about ten years. Their youngest child is
almost two years old, not one, which means they began the process of
bringing that child into the world almost three years ago. It is entirely
conceivable to me that profound change happened in their relationship
within three years. While we know a lot of the details of celebrity
relationships, we must remember that the timetable on which we know things
does not always correspond to the timetable on which they happened.
_People_ also reports that they are buying homes next door to each other
with a shared back yard to enable the children to be near both of their
parents. Whether they are making the right choices or not only they know,
but they are clearly making every effort they know how to make.
