Cher Has a ‘Secret Granddaughter’ & Was Speechless When She Found Out
What To Know
- Cher recently discovered she has a 15-year-old granddaughter, Ever.
- Kayti Edwards revealed that Elijah Allman has not been involved in Ever’s upbringing.
- Cher filed for financial conservatorship over Elijah following his recent legal and health issues.
Cher has a “secret granddaughter” that she only learned about a year ago — and the singer, 70, was reportedly “speechless” when she found it.
On Saturday, April 19, The U.S. Sun published an interview with former model Kayti Edwards, who had a brief romance with Cher’s son, Elijah Allman, in 2010. They welcomed a baby girl, Ever, now 15.
According to Edwards — who is the step-granddaughter of Julie Andrews — Cher called her less than a year ago to confront her about the possibility of having a grandchild.
“Cher got in touch with me last June and asked if it was true, so I had to confess,” she told the outlet. “She said she had heard something about it from Elijah back in 2021, but didn’t know if it was just crazy talk.
Edwards added, “When she heard the news, she was speechless. Cher told her family, ‘Oh my God, I’m finally a grandma.’”

Additionally, Edwards said of Allman, “He always knew from day one, but he never wanted to be a parent. He would pop in every couple of years but would just say hello.” She explained that her husband has been Ever’s “true father” all these years.
Edwards said that Allman recently expressed interest in connecting with his daughter. However, his ongoing struggles with addiction and his mental health, in addition to his recent assault and trespassing charges at an elite prep school, prompted Edwards to “shelter” Ever from him. In April, Cher again filed for financial conservatorship over her son following multiple arrests and a hospitalization.
Allman is Cher’s second-born child, whom she welcomed with her second husband, Gregg Allman of The Allman Brothers Band. The “Believe” songstress also shares a son, Chaz Bono, 57, with her first husband, the late Sonny Bono, who died in 1998. Currently, Cher is dating music executive Alexander “AE” Edwards, 39; they have been in a relationship since 2022.

Jesus. Cher was born in 1946. So, despite being "70", in the Real World that makes her EIGHTY

It’s the writers they employ here. She doesn’t claim to be 70. It’s the writers on this site.

Jesus I’m going to be 76 in May and Cher is a few years older than me. Not 70. Around 79 years old.

Yep. And this site strives hard to be neutral in politics to. 🙄

79 year old Cher. Umm. I'm 57 and I'm pretty sure her and Sonny were singing together years before I was born. Weirdly she's never shied away from saying her age...unlike Maddona who has decided to pretended to be 20. But only in very low lighting. If you squint.

Of course, I’m 62 and they were singing together when I was in diapers. Also, as a former Madonna fan, I feel so seen. Very sad what she’s doing to herself, it’s embarrassing. I have secondhand embarrassment for her, on her behalf. I love her music. I loved Cher’s even earlier. Half Breed was the very first album I ever bought, with my like $4 babysitting money. She is fighting the aging process just as much as Madonna, but she’s doing it a little better, at least we’re not exposed to her nether parts and grilled teeth. Madonna should go to Cher’s plastic surgeon. Who isn’t that great himself, but certainly better than Madonna’s.

Who is her surgeon? And he or she if so does great Un extreme work. They seem to be good.

You are right Bun Ho. If Chaz is 57 and Cher were really 70 she would have been 13 when she had him!

Hi. Tell Cher I am glad she is 1 year older than me. Still looks very good. Congrats on being a grandmother. I am happy for you. God bless.

Still Looks Good?? But she's all plastic. Okay if you find it hard growing old gracefully.

@TvInsider, Can you look up some image of Cher with her Natural dark locks and use them? I have some recent ones I shot if you want to use some.

They need to keep the child away from that crazy family. What a shame that it has to come out now
