Kristin Chenoweth Discovers Eerie Connection to Her Birth Dad on Finding Your Roots

“In her belly, I became fans of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall, Jimi Hendrix, and, of course, Billy Ethridge, my bio dad,” Kristin added. “The two of them gave me the innate artistic ability I have today.”

Throughout her career, Kristin has been candid about her adoption and the gratitude she feels toward her adoptive parents.

“My dad always says, ‘Man, did we win the lottery,’” she said on Today in 2022, “and I always say, ‘No, I won the lottery.’”

And as she explained, the fact that she was adopted was “never a surprise” for her, sharing that her parents told her, “’The lady that had you in her belly could not take care of you the way she wanted to, and she loved you so much.’”
