Iconic performer Cher has confirmed the existence of a secret 15-year-old granddaughter, a revelation that emerges as the singer escalates legal maneuvers to secure a conservatorship for her son, Elijah Blue Allman.
The child, named Ever, is the daughter of Allman and former model Kayti Edwards. Edwards, who is the granddaughter of legendary actress Julie Andrews, reportedly disclosed the relationship to Cher during a pivotal phone call last year. The discovery ends years of speculation regarding a “secret” branch of the family tree.
The timeline of the discovery suggests a long-standing family secret. Edwards claims she had a brief relationship with the 49-year-old Allman in 2010. While Allman reportedly knew of Ever’s birth and visited her intermittently, he allegedly opted out of an active parental role.
The secret surfaced internally in 2021. Following a severe drug overdose, Allman reportedly confessed the child’s existence to his estranged wife, Marieangela King. After the rumor circulated within the family for two years, Cher personally contacted Edwards last year to verify the claims. Witnesses describe the 79-year-old singer as “speechless” upon receiving confirmation, reportedly telling her inner circle, “I’m finally a grandma.”
This personal milestone coincides with a deepening crisis for Allman. Cher has filed updated court documents requesting that the court appoint fiduciary Jason Rubin as a temporary conservator. The filing asserts that Allman’s mental and physical health have “significantly deteriorated” since initial legal actions began in 2023.
Evidence presented to the court depicts a life in freefall:
- Medical Emergencies: Allman is currently held in a psychiatric facility. Recent incidents include a near-fatal overdose where he was found unconscious in his vehicle, requiring the administration of Narcan.
- Financial Liabilities: Allman faces a $200,000 tax bill and reportedly owes $18,000 to a drug dealer.
- Property and Conduct: He has been banned from 18 hotels for erratic behavior and faces $50,000 in damages to rental properties.
- Criminal Charges: Recent arrests in New Hampshire involve charges of felony burglary, simple assault, and criminal mischief.
Cher’s legal team argues that Allman’s drug dependency and mental health struggles leave him vulnerable to “undue influence” and financial ruin. The singer maintains that the conservatorship is the only path to stabilizing her son’s affairs “one problem at a time.”
As of press time, representatives for Cher have not issued further comment on the granddaughter’s integration into the family or the pending court date for the conservatorship hearing.
