Cher may not be seeing her son wed the love of his life at his upcoming wedding, according to multiple reports about a growing feud between the singer and her first-born child, Chaz Bono.
Most people will know that Cher has a son, Chaz Bono, who was born during her marriage to Sonny Bono.
Originally born Chastity Bono on March 4, 1969, Chaz eventually came out as a lesbian before going through a female-to-male gender transition between 2008-2010.
Chaz Bono wasn’t accepted by Cher
At age 18, Chaz came out to both parents as a lesbian. Speaking of coming to this realization, he told the Daily Mail in 2011: ”I’d look at other girls my age and feel perplexed by their interest in fashion or which boy was the cutest.”
“As a child, I always felt there was something different about me. I’d look at other girls my age and feel perplexed by their obvious interest in the latest fashion, which boy in class was the cutest, and who looked the most like cover girl Christie Brinkley,” Chaz wrote in his book Family Outing: A Guide to the Coming Out Process for Gays, Lesbians, and Their Families.”
“When I was 13, I finally found a name for exactly how I was different. I realized I was gay.”
Then, at the age of 39, Chaz began his transition to the male gender. It wasn’t until 2010 that Chaz officially became a man, when a California court granted his request for a gender and name change.
In the documentary Becoming Chaz, which was shown at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and aired on Oprah Winfrey Network, viewers got the chance to follow Chaz’s transition into a man.
“My mother went through a kind of mourning period. It was difficult for her, and we didn’t see each other for about the first year of my transition,” Chaz told SBS Australia.
