• Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, has caught fans’ attention with his strong resemblance to his famous father, Gregg Allman, and his good looks.
• Elijah has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years, with fans praising his evolving and “sexy” appearance.
• Despite a bitter rift with his mother, Elijah is working towards reconciliation, highlighting mom and son’s enduring bond.

Cher, the iconic singer, has long been admired for her talent and stunning looks. Recently, her son, Elijah Blue Allman, has gained attention from excited fans. They have pointed out his striking resemblance to his famous father, Gregg Allman, as well as his handsome appearance.

Elijah has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years. Photos show his evolution from a young boy to a grown man, shedding his rebellious youth for a more polished and striking look. Now matured, Elijah is seeking to reconcile and rebuild the significant rift with his mom.

Elijah’s dad was the iconic leader of The Allman Brothers Band. Cher was Gregg’s seventh wife and the two were married from 1975 to 1979. Gregg had written in his autobiography, “Cher smelled like a mermaid. I’ve never smelled it since and I’ll never forget it.”

However, all was not good in Cher and Gregg’s marriage as it faced immediate challenges right after their wedding. On July 9, 1975, just nine days later, Cher filed for divorce, citing Gregg’s struggles with heroin and alcohol as insurmountable issues.

Reflecting on that tumultuous time, Cher recounted, “He was so high he didn’t even understand me” when she called to end their marriage.

Despite the initial separation, Gregg reconciled with Cher but he later initiated divorce proceedings himself. Their relationship saw another twist when Cher became pregnant with their son, Elijah, prompting Gregg Allman to reconsider.

However, they eventually parted ways for good. Gregg attributed the final split to irreconcilable differences, noting, “There was no future for us because she has that constant paranoia of (my) going back to alcohol.”

Sadly, Gregg died on May 27, 2017, at the age of 69. Upon his demise, a sad Cher wrote on X, “IVE TRIED… WORDS ARE IMPOSSIBLE GUI GUI FOREVER, CHOOCH.”

Recently, the picture of Gregg and Cher in their younger years was shared online for AmoMama readers, with the caption, “Cher & Greg Allman.  Can’t even choose who in this ICONIC COUPLE is MORE BEAUTIFUL.”

AmoMama readers shared their opinions on who is more beautiful between Gregg and Cher. Most readers agreed that Gregg was better looking between the two. A reader replied, “Gregg.” Another reader commented, “He was pretty handsome at one time.”

One reader outrightly said, “Well, it’s not him,” about Gregg. A related comment from a reader about Cher read, “It certainly isn’t her.”

With Gregg gone, he left Cher with their son Elijah Blue Allman, whose transformation into a handsome man, just like his father was, is clear in shared pictures.

Early Childhood: One Year Old

Cher and Gregg welcomed Elijah on July 10, 1976. In a heartwarming picture taken in 1977, Cher is seen cradling her bubbly son. Elijah, a cheerful child, is dressed in an adorable white onesie adorned with cartoon drawings.

In another picture, the singer is seen holding her son, Elijah, who is dressed in a charming blue onesie. Cher, who embraced motherhood for the second time with Elijah, looks lovingly at her son, capturing a tender moment of maternal affection.

Despite Cher’s husbands and partners, she raised Elijah primarily as a single mother. Her first child, Chaz Bono, previously Chastity, once expressed frustration during a trip, noting that their mom could never not be Cher and just do something with her kids.

Cher struggled to balance her demanding career with motherhood, admitting, “I did the best I could, and yet it was definitely lacking.”

When asked if she believed her children held any lingering resentment due to her perceived shortcomings as a parent, Cher explained that while Chaz has made peace with it, Elijah has yet to come to terms. Nonetheless, she emphasized, “They both really love me. But it’s hard.”

Even so, Cher is a loving mother who dotes on her kids. A picture that showcases this affection was taken in December 1977. An adorable Elijah seems busy with baby talk as his mom holds him close to her as they walk. This moment captures Cher’s devotion to her children.

Adorable Elijah at Three

At three, Elijah was already finding his place in his mother’s world. In a charming studio portrait, he, Cher, and Chaz looked like an adorable family of three. Elijah, with his baby face and curious eyes, stands out with his bright blonde hair, capturing the essence of childhood innocence.

At four, as he became more aware of the world and himself, Elijah’s charming personality shone brightly. In a studio portrait with his mom and Chaz, the young boy sported the brightest smile among the three. Dressed in all white with a touch of gold, a joyful Elijah seemed to be having the time of his life.

Elijah’s adventures didn’t stop there. In another picture, he is seen enjoying an annual softball game. Holding a baseball bat with a swagger that matched his cool outfit, Elijah exuded confidence. His outfit consisted of a yellow baseball cap, blue shirt-vest, jeans, and sneakers, showcasing his playfulness.

Elijah settled down at his mother’s feet after goofing around, with Chaz by their side. The young boy appeared lost in thought, while his sibling and mother continued to enjoy the occasion, embodying a perfect family moment.

Elijah still kept the company of his mom at 24. This time, he sported a casual outfit consisting of a puff jacket, blue shirt underneath, white trousers, and a cap in hand.

Elijah at 37: Major Life Changes and Family Rift

At 37, Elijah took a major step in his life and got married. The dashing man eloped to marry his girlfriend, now wife, Marieangela King; his mom did not even congratulate them on their engagement or wedding.

At this time, he was a recovering heroin addict and had been to rehab several times, which could explain his sudden lean physique. Explaining why he and his wife eloped, Elijah said, “I wasn’t going to wait for anyone’s approval and congratulations just like I’ve never waited for any of that my whole life.”

The rift with his mom intensified, and they were not talking. Elijah expressed his feelings, saying, “I’ve always been the black sheep of my family.” Things became so bad that Elijah and his wife were not even invited to the family Christmas celebration at Cher’s house in 2013.

Elijah at 36: Reconciliation and Family Reunion

In 2016, when Elijah was 36, Marieangela shared a picture with Cher in it. Cher posed next to her son, who wore a slight smile.

Elijah in His Late 40s: Fans’ Reactions

A post shared on Facebook deemed Elijah “the most handsome man alive,” and fans commented with enthusiasm. The reaction to Elijah’s physical transformation and likeness to his dad has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans not holding back their admiration for his looks.

Fans were impressed with how Elijah has changed, with one commenting, “He looks like a completely different person than the photo of him in rehab. Wow he looks so sexy now.” Another fan noted, “He is such a handsomely man.”

In addition to remarks on his resemblance and transformation, fans expressed their general admiration for Elijah. “Good looking man. He needs to smile,” one fan suggested, emphasizing the appeal of a friendly expression.

“He’s very handsome when he wants to be,” another fan wrote. One more fan concurred, writing, “He’s pretty handsome.” Even so, not everyone agreed on Elijah being the most handsome man alive as one fan noted, “He’s handsome. I don’t know about the most handsome man alive.”

Other fans focused on the resemblance Elijah has to his famous father, commenting, “Looks just like his dad.” Another fan chimed in agreement, “He looks like his daddy.” One fan marveled, “Wow he has grown up to look just like his dad.”

Another fan emphasized the familial connection by noting, “Actually her son Elijah is very handsome. He’s her second child when she married Greg Allman.” A stunned user only jotted, “An absolute twin.”

Elijah in His Late 40s: Reconciling with Mom

In his late 40s, Elijah has seen significant changes in his life, including a heartwarming reconciliation with his mother, Cher. After years of tension and estrangement, the mother-son duo is quietly working to mend their relationship, aiming to put an end to their bitter feud.

The discord between them had intensified due to Cher’s demands for Elijah to submit to a conservatorship controlled by her. This move was strongly opposed by Elijah, who, at 47, sought to maintain his independence.

The two were scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles court on June 11, 2024, where Cher was to request to be appointed as his conservator. However, recent court documents reveal that they met in a private mediation session with a retired judge earlier this month.

During this session, Cher and Elijah agreed to pause all legal proceedings and related activities. This decision was made to allow both parties to work together to resolve their issues privately and confidentially.

As a result, the June 11 hearing was postponed for three months to September 13, 2024, giving them additional time to work toward a private resolution.

This reconciliation marks a significant moment in their lives, highlighting the enduring bond between Cher and Elijah despite past conflicts.
