The 'Believe' singer met the 15-year-old girl last September, after first hearing a rumor about her in 2021.
Cher recently learned she was a grandmother, 15 years after her son Elijah Blue Allman secretly fathered a child. The girl's mother, Kayti Edwards , is the daughter of Jennifer Edwards , whose father Blake Edwards was married to Julie Andrews .
The 79-year-old singer just learned last year that she was a first-time grandmother, when it was confirmed that her son, Elijah Blue Allman, fathered a baby in 2010 with a woman who has a Hollywood lineage of her own. "Cher got in touch with me last June and asked if it was true, so I had to confess," said Edwards, whose mother Jennifer is the daughter of filmmaker Blake Edwards, Andrews' husband from 1969 until his death in 2010. "She said she had heard something about it from Elijah back in 2021, but didn't know if it was just crazy talk. When she heard the news, she was speechless."Three months later, Cher met her granddaughter, Ever, for the first time when she invited Edwards and the 15-year-old to her Malibu home. "She was lovely and kind and we had dinner," said Edwards, who lives about three hours away in Joshua Tree, Calif. "Cher asked Ever if she wanted to see her closet and showed her a pair of jeans she had worn in concert. It was a cool experience for her. Cher was very childlike. They played in the pool and she spoke to Ever about school and asked her about boys. She was like a kid herself."for her troubled son since 2023, is still "processing the news" of her no-longer-secret granddaughter, but "really trying" to make up for lost time with Ever. "Cher sent her a Christmas card and present," revealed Edwards. "It was a Chrome Hearts hoodie. And then for her birthday, she sent her some money and Chrome Hearts sweats. She called her and they spoke on the phone… It's an adjustment and I'm not pushing any relationship. It has to come naturally." According to Edwards, she and Allman — whose father was the late rocker Gregg Allman — had been friends for years when one night together resulted in pregnancy. Allman knew Ever was his daughter, "but he never wanted to be a parent," Edwards said. She raised the girl with her husband, and Allman "would pop in every couple of years but would just say hello."It wasn't until his 2021 drug overdose when Allman "blurted out" to his then-wife, Marieangela King, that he had a child. "This is what started the rumors in the family," explained Edwards, who owns a horse rescue center. Last June, Allman reached out to Edwards asking "if he could come to Joshua Tree as he needed to get out of Hollywood." She toldWeeks later, he overdosed again and was hospitalized, "and this was when Cher got in touch," said Edwards. "She wanted to know what had happened and then she asked me if it was true regarding Ever. That's when I had to tell her the situation."
