Alanis Morissette revealed her and husband Mario Treadway welcomed another child into their family late last month. They named her Onyx Solace Morissette-Treadway.
Morissette wrote via Instagram, “She’s here! Onyx Solace Morissette-Treadway June 23 2016 #beyondblessed.”
The couple has a five-year-old son and announced they were expecting again earlier this year. They made the announcement using a song and animated video, followed by them looking at n ultrasound image.
“The story of my nuclear family in moving pictures, brings us up to this sweet moment. [The song was] written, recorded and produced in 6 hours on May 22, 2010 with Guy Sigsworth, on the sly, to surprise Souleye. Brendan Huza helped tell our story. May this song take on ever-deepening meaning as each year goes by,” Morissette shared on her website.
The 42-year-old artist is currently working on a book that is not only a memoir, but also includes some “straight-up teaching.” Regarding her recent endeavor, she shared, “I’ve always had a little of a blind spot around how I am perceived. But there’s uniformity now. This may be a crass way of understanding it, but there’s something about even looking at my own Instagram, looking at my blog, where I’m getting a sense of self that I never had.”
The Hand in My Pocket hitmaker also feels her priorities have changed since becoming a mother.
Reflecting about when she started in the entertainment industry, she said, “All due respect to the geniuses that were around me, I felt like a bit of an outsider. I tried really hard to fit in and belong and have BFFs that were famous. It could have had something to do with the time period. It wasn’t 2016; it was the ’90s and early 2000s.
It was a different time for women in music. I would awkwardly phone different celebrities to see if we could be friends. And a lot of times I would be met with, ‘Why are you calling me?’ I guess people don’t call people just to become friends with them.”
