Overview of the Discovery
Cher, the iconic singer and actress, recently learned that she has a 15-year-old granddaughter named Ever, the daughter of her son, Elijah Blue Allman, and former model Kayti Edwards. This revelation came to light after Edwards confirmed the relationship during an interview with The U.S. Sun, stating that Cher was "speechless" upon discovering the news.
Background on Elijah Blue Allman
Elijah Blue Allman, Cher's second son with musician Gregg Allman, has faced significant personal challenges, including struggles with addiction and mental health issues. Edwards revealed that Allman has not been involved in Ever's upbringing, stating that he "never wanted to be a parent." The relationship between Allman and Edwards began in 2010, leading to Ever's birth, but Allman has had limited contact with his daughter over the years.
Cher's Response and Relationship with Ever
Cher reached out to Edwards in June 2022, seeking confirmation about her granddaughter's existence after hearing rumors from Allman in 2021. Edwards described Cher as "lovely and kind" during their interactions, noting that Cher has been making efforts to build a relationship with Ever. The two met for the first time in September 2022 at Cher's Malibu home, where they shared a meal and engaged in activities together. Edwards emphasized that Cher is "trying" to connect with Ever, sending gifts for birthdays and holidays.
Legal Challenges for Elijah Blue Allman
The discovery of Ever coincides with Cher's ongoing legal battles concerning her son. Recently, she filed for financial conservatorship over Allman, citing his "severe mental health and addiction issues." Cher's petition claims that Allman is "gravely disabled" and unable to manage his financial resources. This marks Cher's second conservatorship request in three years, following a previous dismissal after a private agreement. Allman's half-brother, Devon Allman, has also expressed concerns about his brother's well-being, stating that he is a danger to himself.
Criticism and Concerns
Edwards has expressed caution regarding Allman's involvement in Ever's life, stating that she had to "shelter" Ever from him due to his ongoing struggles. She noted that while Allman has shown interest in connecting with his daughter, his current state does not allow for a healthy relationship. Edwards emphasized the need for Allman to improve before he can engage meaningfully with Ever.
What's Next for Cher and Ever
As Cher navigates her new role as a grandmother, she is reportedly still processing the implications of this discovery. A hearing regarding the conservatorship filing for Allman is scheduled for April 24, 2023, as Cher continues to seek support for her son while fostering a relationship with her granddaughter.
