Cher’s Child Went through Transition & Found Happiness as a Married Man – Inside His New Life

• Chaz Bono, son of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, was born Chastity Bono, a female who first came out as a lesbian.
• He later transitioned into a male and changed his legal name and gender.
• He is now happy and married to his partner, whom Cher and her mother, Georgia Holt, welcomed into the family.

Chaz Bono is the child of pop legend Cher and her first husband, singer Sonny Bono. Cher’s marriage to Sonny was characterized by a dynamic where Sonny held significant control over her life. Cher felt isolated as Sonny didn’t want her to have friends, and she felt oppressed by the lack of personal space.

This control also extended to their professional relationship, where Cher felt she was merely following Sonny’s instructions without any input. This imbalance in their relationship led to feelings of suffocation for Cher, ultimately contributing to their separation.

During her marriage to Sonny, Cher suffered several miscarriages before Chaz’s birth, a condition attributed to an “angry uterus” that would contract and abort the fetus. The repeated loss of her unborn children was a nightmare for Cher, who had to endure the cycle of joy and sorrow.

The birth of Chaz was a significant event in Cher’s life, and Sonny was a good father. She said, “Chaz brought a new element into our marriage.” Cher had her second child years later, a son, but being a mother came with challenges. Cher acknowledges that she wasn’t always a good mother to her children. Her career demands meant her children experienced a life of constant travel and change.
