The 47-year-old son of Cher and the late rock legend Gregg Allman has faced a lifelong struggle with addiction. He candidly admitted to starting his battle with drugs at the tender age of 11. His turbulent journey has seen him hit rock bottom more than once, with heroin addiction looming large.

On November 30, 2022, what should have been a night of reconciliation turned into a shocking event. Four mysterious individuals entered their hotel room, promptly spiriting Allman away. King later revealed that these men claimed to be hired by none other than Allman's own mother, Cher.

Allman was found unconscious outside LA's famous Chateau Marmont Hotel, where he had been living for several months. Thankfully, he was swiftly admitted to a rehab center in Pasadena, California.

Cher has always had a complex relationship with her son, and their interactions have been marked by long periods of silence and estrangement.

Allman's childhood was influenced by boarding school and an upbringing far from the spotlight. In an interview, Allman expressed his desire to reconnect with his mother despite their tumultuous history. He acknowledged that their relationship had its challenges, but as an adult, he sought a different path toward healing and understanding.

But despite these ups and downs, Cher and Allman have shared moments of musical collaboration. Their rendition of "Crimson & Clover" for the soundtrack of "A Walk On The Moon" showcased their talents and hinted at the deeper connection they share.

Cher's actions have sparked a flurry of opinions among her fans. Some view her as a protective mother, while others question her methods, with one calling her "awful." The debate highlights society's differing perceptions of parenting, with some arguing for a change in these attitudes.

Sibling Dynamics and Cher's Love Life

While Allman's relationship with his famous mother remains complex, his bond with his brother, Chaz Bono, has also evolved over time. The brothers once shared a close bond. However, as they pursued separate paths and attended different schools, their relationship changed.

Allman disclosed, "We were close. We kind of grew apart when we started going to different schools and just not being geographically around each other." Bono, son of Cher and the legendary Sonny Bono leads a low-key life but has made his mark in the entertainment industry.

From "Dancing with the Stars" to roles in TV and movies, he has quietly built his career. Currently, he is working on a horror film. Now, shifting gears to Cher's romantic life, it has long been a subject of intrigue. Her current relationship with music executive Alexander Edwards has captured the public's curiosity.

As Cher and Edwards move forward, their sons remain a central focus. Cher's unwavering dedication to her family underscores her determination to ensure the well-being of her loved ones.
