Bailey Jean Cypher Is David Crosby's Biological Kid Who He Never Raised

Bailey Jean Cypher's biological father was a legendary singer who dominated the music industry in the 1970s and 80s. Even so, Bailey's father wasn't present for most of her childhood.

Despite not growing up with her birth father, David Crosby's daughter is now a grown lady living a not-so-private life. She frequently keeps her Instagram followers updated with her lifestyle.

Even though Bailey has famous parents, she's also creating a name for herself on social media; as of this writing, she has 9K followers on her Instagram page.

Bailey Jean Cypher Was Conceived Via Artificial Insemination

Bailey Jean Cypher's parents are singer Mellisa Etheridge and her former partner Julie Cypher. When the former couple wanted to start a family in the 90s, they opted to look for a sperm donor.

Amongst those on the list included celebrated actor Brad Pitt. But after careful consideration, Bailey's parents concluded Pitt wasn't a good fit. Bailey's mother sorted the help of their good friend Crosby, a fellow singer and someone who already had a family.

Bailey's mother said that choosing Crosby as a sperm donor was the best decision because since he had children, he did it as a gift. Bailey was born in 1997, followed by her brother Beckett Cypher in 1998, conceived the same way.

David Crosby Loved Bailey Jean Cypher, Though She Did Not Grow up with Him

In an interview, Crosby, who once dated singer Joni Mitchell opened up about not parenting Bailey and Beckett. However, he noted that he loved them and was glad they had learned from some of his mistakes and weren't interested in doing hard drugs.

Bailey shared on Instagram the memorable moments she had with her father when he was still alive.

In 2020, Bailey's biological father also dismissed claims in a since-deleted tweet after a Twitter user wrote that he was just a sperm donor and wasn't present for most of her life.

But that seems far from the truth. In 2018, when Bailey was 21, she shared a rare photo of her spending time with her birth father. Even though Crosby wasn't present in Bailey's childhood, he tried to make up for it in her adulthood.

Bailey Jean Cypher Mourned the Loss of Two Important People in Her Life

In recent years, Bailey has gone through a difficult time after losing two of her loved ones. She first lost her younger brother Beckett in 2020. Bailey was devastated by her brother's death; she took to her Instagram to share the sad news with her followers. She captioned:

"I don't know what to say. Today we lost my brother. Too heartbroken and overwhelmed to be eloquent, but I appreciate all those who have reached out. I love you, Beckett. Fly high and watch over us."

In a different post, Bailey shared a throwback photo of her and Beckett having memorable moments in their childhood. Beckett passed on at the young age of 21 from a drug overdose.

Beckett's biological father, David Crosby, responded to his son's death and said maybe it was a test after social media users sent him their condolences.

In less than two years, Bailey lost yet another important person; this time, it was her birth father, Crosby. The legendary rock singer recently passed on aged 81. Bailey shared on Instagram the memorable moments she had with her father when he was still alive.

Crosby will be remembered for impacting the music industry with his vocal harmonies and guitar playing. Some of his achievements include setting up two major bands in the 1960s: Stills and Nash and The Byrds.
