Cher’s impact on the world is immeasurable, making it nearly inconceivable to envision a landscape untouched by her influence. Spanning an illustrious career spanning over six decades, she stands as one of the most enduring luminaries of the century, boasting a collection of accolades, including an Oscar. Yet, attributing her immense stardom solely to her talents would be remiss.
Throughout her journey, fans have celebrated Cher not only for her artistic prowess but also for her resilience amid shifting cultural tides. Her distinct personality, convictions, and overall outlook on life have played a pivotal role in shaping her into the consummate actress and singer she is today. Even younger generations hold her in high regard, recognizing her for the plethora of contributions she has made to the world: an array of chart-topping hits, a vast repertoire, and the gift of two children.
In the annals of music history, Cher and Sonny Bono’s iconic pop duo, Sonny & Cher, left an indelible mark during the vibrant 60s and 70s. Beyond their musical achievements, the duo welcomed their first child during the peak of their careers. However, a question lingers: did Cher expand her family further?
Cher, indeed, is a mother to two children: Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman. Her eldest, Chaz Bono, was born on March 4, 1969, from her union with Sonny Bono—six years preceding the finalization of Cher and Sonny’s divorce. Presently aged 54, Chaz has carved his own path as an American writer, musician, and actor, following the artistic footsteps of his iconic parents.
Cher’s second child, Elijah Blue Allman, arrived on July 10, 1976, born during her marriage to Gregg Allman. Their union commenced in 1975, immediately after her divorce from Bono. Three years following Elijah’s birth, Cher and Allman parted ways. Now 47 years old, Elijah, much like his parents and step-brother, has found his calling in music.
Cher’s legacy transcends her remarkable six-decade journey in music and film. It extends to her role as a devoted, albeit imperfect, mother to Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman, leaving an enduring imprint on both the entertainment world and her family.
