Any mother would probably have a hard time accepting her son getting married without her there, but Elijah felt it was the right time. Elijah had said his mother never reacted or congratulated the couple on their engagement, even after they were married. Many people know about their relationship with their mother, Cher, but are Chaz and Elijah close to one another?
Well, despite having different fathers — Chaz being the son of Sonny Bono and Elijah Blue the son of Gregg Allman — the two had been close when they were younger. Unfortunately, since then the two had grown apart, mostly due to them going to different schools and living in distant places. While she realized she liked girls from the time she was 13, she finally came out to both her parents when she was Both Cher and Chaz while he was still Chastity released memoirs in It was only until that Chastity began the transition to becoming a man and legally changed her name to Chaz, and in a documentary called Becoming Chaz was released at the Sundance Film Festival.
But the actor and activist knew he was meant to be a man for several years beforehand. And his transition was anything but easy. After overcoming her initial reaction to the process, she became an advocate for the LGBT community and shows full support for her son in whatever makes him happy.
In , Chaz went on to participating in season 13 of Dancing with the Stars. But after a few weeks of receiving low scores, the two were booted off the show. His mother, Cher, showed her support throughout this journey, sending out tweets and cheering from the audience. However, Schwimmer had said she believed the scoring and comments they received were unfair. The late singer Sonny Bono, who passed away in a skiing accident in , never got to see his daughter Chastity ever become Chaz.
But apparently, he already had a cute nickname for her as a little girl — Fred. Chaz told on a late night show that this nickname was born when his father once took him to a toy store.
Chaz had been struggling with weight issues for years, but after making his transformation — he was finally feeling happy enough and decided to turn things around and attempt a healthier lifestyle. After he cut most grains, and added plenty of fruit and vegetables to his diet, he finally managed to shed some of his weight. Beginning at lbs, the actor had said it was his positive thinking helped him drop an astonishing 85 pounds.
And not only does he look great, but he seems to be much more content with his weight. The two were partners for six years, and it seems that Jennifer was pleased with his transition.
Instead of a regular birthday present, the actor presented his girlfriend with a diamond engagement ring. But unfortunately, their engagement was a short-lived one, as they ended things only a month later.
The two, however, split on good terms and remained respectful towards one another. Even as a girl, Chaz always felt as a man and never understood the female side. As Chaz was trying to make a transition from music to the acting business, he was glad to have Cher as inspiration for that. The actor had said he recalls very clearly how challenging it was for his mother to break into a whole new business and make it as an actress. Not only was she someone he could turn to whenever he was in need, but she was always there to cheer him on.
And no doubt this support was all-important for his success. Back in , it was reported that Cher was suffering from a terminal illness and that the star was dying. Some reported she changed her will to divide her fortune between her kids, and others reported she was leaving both Chaz and Elijah Blue out of her will altogether. But of all the rumors, what was the truth?
Other sites also claimed Cher had lost the fortune she had due to paying high medical bills. And it was no regular home, either, according to Elijah Blue. Sonny and Cher seemed like a real power couple, so why did they split? Cher also admitted to feeling powerless in their relationship, and after having Chaz — she was growing tired of being told what to do.
The two finalized their divorce back in , and only three days later Cher married Gregg Allman. Caitlyn admitted she wanted to get to know Chaz ever since she first met him, and was also hoping the meeting would help her gain inspiration on how to deal with her own kids.
During an interview, Elijah Blue has also confessed that Cher tried being a good mother, but it was her fame that made the situation complicated.
When he was growing up, Cher had been focused on her career and was trying to juggle it along with being a mother. Cher admitted that while her parenthood was lacking in some ways, she was only doing her best. Her kids had to grow up on the road, but she considered it better than leaving them home while she was on tour.
In , however, he decided enough was enough. Knowing full well that no amount of reality TV would get him there, he informed his team he would no longer be doing any reality shows. While his team was flabbergasted, he knew no one would take him seriously otherwise. Since the transition took such a large chunk of his life, though, he only got into the biz relatively late in the game, and now had a lot of catching up to do.
In , The Cher Show opened on Broadway. Ever since breaking his engagement to Jennifer Elia, Chaz has seemed to be quite unlucky in love… until now, that is! Not only that, but his new flame knows a thing or two about child stardom. While not an actress anymore, the two initially connected when they first met in over their Hollywood upbringing.
They have since traveled the world together, going to places like Australia, Holland, Italy, and France, and seem positively smitten with one another.
As the show of two bonafide musical legends, each in his or her own genre, you might think that Elijah Blue Allman had his foot firmly in the door of the music industry.
Elijah got his first guitar at the tender age of The gift-giver? Allman then proceeded to go on tour with his mom, and even appeared in her music video for If I Could Turn Back Time. And their parents are letting them be. Thank God for this change, because God knows what would happen otherwise. He only lasted six episodes but continued to appear in other shows on TV afterwards — often appearing as himself.
Despite this, Cher and her spouse had one child together, Elijah Blue Allman, who was born on July 10, She sent Elijah to a boarding school to keep him away from the toxic environment.
But I still It's still wrong to do that. Though Cher and Elijah were on rocky terms for a couple of years, eventually the two reconciled. As of , Elijah has been reportedly living with his mother — their relationship being in a good place. Cher has two children from two separate relationships. Elijah is now is the singer and guitarist for the rock band Deadsy.
The pop icon, 74, confessed that Chaz's transition from female to male between and "wasn't easy" at first. Cher - who saved the "world's loneliest elephant" in November recalled: "But it wasn't easy. I remember calling, and the old [voicemail] message was on the phone, and that was very difficult. As one of the highest selling recording artists of all time, and as an Oscar winning actress, it shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that Cher is very well-off.
In a career spanning over half-a-century, Cher has sold over million records worldwide, en-route to becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time. She branded smash Believe — No 1 in 23 countries — "a nightmare" and said she stormed out of the recording studio. Cher married singer-songwriter Sonny Bono in after first meeting him when she was 16 and he was eleven years her senior.
The two formed their own musical duo and scored a number-one-hit with their single, I Got You Babe.
