The Canadian singer and hubby, rapper Mario "MC Souleye" Treadway (who just makes it into the photo, top left), wed in May 2010. Their son, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway was born on Christmas Day of that same year. Alanis has since become a staunch supporter of breastfeeding and attachment parenting.

Indeed, this isn't the first time she's used her legendary voice to advocate for the cause. “I’m an attachment parent and I breastfeed and I’ll be breastfeeding until my son is finished and he weans himself," she famously proclaimed, in a May 2012 radio interview with host Billy Bush. "I think it affords the child, when they grow up, to have a lot less therapy to have to go through.”

“We are skin connected as much as possible,” she went on to say. “His safety and his well-being and that attachment in his development is…pivotal.”
