It's been a year since Melissa Etheridge and her wife Tammy Etheridge split, and now, Melissa is reportedly happy in a committed relationship with "Nurse Jackie" creator Linda Wallem.

"Melissa and Linda have been best friends for over 10 years," a friend of the couple told People. Wallem was also, according to People, the "best man" at Melissa's 2003 wedding to Tammy. "They got together three months after Melissa and Tammy broke up."

Etheridge and Wallem, who share the same birthday (both turn 50 in May), attended the Emmys together last August. Today, Etheridge and Wallem "are in a committed relationship. They're happy," says the pal.
