Cher was previously married to Sonny Bonno from 1964 to 1975 and they welcomed son Chaz Bono. She later went on to tie the knot with Gregg Allman but divorced shortly after
Alexander lives with Cher at her 13,000-square-foot Italian Renaissance-style mansion in Malibu.
In her memoir, Cher details what her marriage to the late Sonny Bono was like, alleging that he ‘manhandled’ her at times and at one point ‘seriously thought about’ killing her.
She wrote that she felt trapped in the marriage from 1969 to 1975, which produced their son Chaz Bono.
The exes shot to fame in the ’60s by performing as pop duo Sonny & Cher, and they went on to star in an eponymous variety show in the 1970s.
Cher married Gregg Allman on June 30, 1975, four days after her divorce from Sonny was finalized. She filed paperwork to end her first marriage in February 1974.
She and her second husband — the co-founder The Allman Brothers Band who died in 2017 at 69 — welcomed son Elijah Blue in 1976.
Elijah has struggled with addiction throughout his life, and over the summer the 49-year-old musician was discharged from the hospital following a drug overdose.
