Cher, the 79-year-old music icon on the cusp of EGOT status with just a Tony needed, turned heads at her son Chaz Bono’s wedding. She arrived at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel sporting a prominent five-carat diamond ring and a thick diamond band on her left ring finger.
Cher’s Wedding Day Look
The legendary singer stepped out of a black SUV in casual attire perfect for the occasion. She paired a black star-spangled hoodie over a pink top with sparkly black cargo pants and matching shoes, accessorized with a glittering black bag. Her contoured, youthful complexion and signature middle-parted raven hair completed the look, along with a diamond chain necklace draping elegantly.
Relationship with Alexander ‘A.E.’ Edwards
Cher has been in an on-and-off relationship with Sony Music Publishing executive Alexander ‘A.E.’ Edwards since 2022. At 39, Edwards is 40 years her junior. The music producer also shares a six-year-old son, Slash, with reality star Amber Rose from their relationship, which ended in 2021. Her representative offered no comment on her current relationship status.
Chaz Bono’s Joyous Nuptials
Cher celebrated as her 57-year-old son, a transgender advocate, married his partner of nine years, Shara Blue Mathes. The ceremony took place under a stunning altar of red roses in one of the hotel’s ballrooms.
Cher’s Past Marriages
Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian, ended her marriage to Sonny Bono in 1975 after eight years together and three years of separation, citing his infidelity and controlling nature. Bono, former Palm Springs mayor and congressman, died in 1998 at age 62 in a skiing accident. She later divorced Gregg Allman in 1979 after three years, due to his struggles with alcohol and heroin addictions.
Family Updates and Elijah Allman
Cher and Allman’s son, Elijah Allman, 49, faced arrest on February 27 at a New Hampshire prep school. Charges included two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass, criminal threatening, and disorderly conduct. Cher sought a conservatorship over him in 2023, but a judge denied it in 2024 after Allman stated he was ‘sober, paying his bills and committed to managing payments from his late father’s estate.’
Upcoming Memoir
Fans anticipate the release of Cher: The Memoir, Part Two, a 480-page volume from William Morrow Large Print, set for November 17. The self-proclaimed ‘lazy’ Buddhist boasts 12.9 million monthly Spotify listeners and has sold over 100 million solo records, plus 40 million as part of Sonny & Cher.
