Cher Gregg Allman

Cher has recently given a profound exploration of her life’s journey as she unfurled the intricacies of her personal and professional experiences as a beloved icon in the entertainment industry while she was navigating the murky waters of fame.

In her deeply personal and bestselling memoir, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, the 78-year-old gave insights into the fascinating story of her whirlwind romance with her second husband, the late musician Gregg Allman, the lead singer of the Allman Brothers Band, offering a candid look at the emotional complexities that surrounded their marriage, a development which occurred majorly because of her pregnancy.

In the memoir, Cher revealed that she was already romantically involved with Allman while on the brink of finalizing her divorce from her first husband, Sonny Bono. She confessed that when their union was dissolved in 1975, it brought her an overwhelming sense of relief. “It had taken so long and had been so convoluted that I felt relief when it was over,” Cher recounted.

However, she also acknowledged that during her relationship with Allman, she had a lot of doubts, especially about the long-term prospects of their romance, which made her very careful going forward. “I didn’t know whether my relationship with Gregory would last or not,” Cher admitted. “I was living each day as it came.”

Cher explained that things took a dramatic turn when she found out that she was pregnant just a couple of days after her divorce. As she grappled with the news, she made the impulsive decision to tie the knot with Allman, a choice that would leave her loved ones stunned. Recalling the moment she shared the news with her sister, Gee and friend, Paulette, Cher vividly described their reactions, noting that they looked at her “as if I’d gone into an alternate universe,” their faces etched with shock and disbelief.

Undeterred by their skepticism, the singer embraced her decision. Sadly, their marriage was short-lived, and just nine days after exchanging vows, Cher filed for divorce due to Allman’s substance abuse. Yet, in a surprising twist, the couple reconciled soon after, and their union was blessed with the arrival of their son, Elijah Blue Allman, in 1976. Despite this momentary reconciliation, the pair’s marriage ultimately proved unsustainable, and their divorce was finalized in 1979, marking the end of their tumultuous and passionate relationship.
