Cher Was Kept Away From a Secret Granddaughter, 15, by Son Elijah Blue Allman For Years, Source Says

When Cher’s troubled son, Elijah Blue Allman, was recently arrested for trespassing, assault, criminal threatening and disorderly conduct at St. Paul’s prep school in Concord, New Hampshire, in February, he reportedly told cops he was a prospective parent, per the Concord Monitor.

Now his statement makes sense: The Daily Enquirer reported on Thursday, April 2, that the musician, 49, allegedly has a secret 15-year-old daughter.

Elijah, whose father is late rocker Gregg Allman “has known for the whole time — the whole 15 years — but only decided to tell people in 2021 as he was having issues,” a source told The Daily Enquirer.

“He’s met her and there are pictures of the pair,” explained the source, adding that the Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again star, 79, was “shocked” to get confirmation of the news when she got in contact with the child’s mother.

The Daily Enquirer has obtained an exclusive image of Cher’s alleged granddaughter, though her face has been obscured to protect her privacy.

“Elijah never wanted his mom to be in the kid’s life because of their damaged relationship,” the source told the outlet.

As Globe previously reported, the “Believe” singer and her son engaged in an emotional legal battle in 2023 after she tried to get a court to put her in charge of his finances as temporary conservator, citing his alleged substance abuse.

He insisted he was working on his sobriety and the request for conservatorship was later dropped, but following his recent arrests, “Elijah is clearly in a terrible state” again, the source told The Daily Enquirer.

“His life is completely out of control and it’s obvious he’s in no condition to be a parent,” said the source. “He needs to look after himself now, try to avoid jail and then somehow get back on track.”

His daughter’s mother is keeping Elijah away from their child, added the source. “She’s like a mama bear and focusing on the daughter’s needs more than anything else.”
