Elijah’s dad was the iconic leader of The Allman Brothers Band. Cher was Gregg’s seventh wife and the two were married from 1975 to 1979. Gregg had written in his autobiography, “Cher smelled like a mermaid. I’ve never smelled it since and I’ll never forget it.”

However, all was not good in Cher and Gregg’s marriage as it faced immediate challenges right after their wedding. On July 9, 1975, just nine days later, Cher filed for divorce, citing Gregg’s struggles with heroin and alcohol as insurmountable issues.

Elijah in His Late 40s: Reconciling with Mom

In his late 40s, Elijah has seen significant changes in his life, including a heartwarming reconciliation with his mother, Cher. After years of tension and estrangement, the mother-son duo is quietly working to mend their relationship, aiming to put an end to their bitter feud.

The discord between them had intensified due to Cher’s demands for Elijah to submit to a conservatorship controlled by her. This move was strongly opposed by Elijah, who, at 47, sought to maintain his independence.

The two were scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles court on June 11, 2024, where Cher was to request to be appointed as his conservator. However, recent court documents reveal that they met in a private mediation session with a retired judge earlier this month.
