On October 3, the singing sensation Cher was confronted with an "awkward" reunion with her firstborn child, Chaz Bono while performing on the red carpet. The parents were there at the Los Angeles premiere of the film Little Bites, which Chaz, who is 55 years old, stars in and Cher, who is 78 years old, produced.
"Things looked a tad strained," one onlooker told New Idea Magazine. "They were perfectly civil and embraced each other, but when they pulled away it seemed like they didn't know what to do next ... they just sort of drifted and went their separate ways."
It has been four years since Cher has been seen in public with Chaz, and this appearance marks the first time that they have been seen together, Los Angeles Times reported. A photo posted to Instagram in 2019 showed them posing together with Georgia Holt, Cher's mother before she passed away, and Shara Blue Mathes, who is now Chaz's fiancee. This was the last time that they were seen together.
These things come at a challenging time in Cher's personal life. Because her youngest son, Elijah Blue Allman, who is 48 years old, has been struggling with addiction, she recently fought a legal battle to get a conservatorship placed over him.
According to the sources interviewed by New Idea, Chaz is resolute in his efforts to "broker peace between his mum and his brother" before his forthcoming wedding to Shara.
"Chaz wants everyone to play nice," the source said.
In addition, the insider stated that Chaz has developed a greater sense of "confidence" since he first met Shara in 2017 through their shared friends and that he has now "stepped up" at a time when his family is seeking his assistance.
The source added, "It's safe to say Chaz rules the roost now - and fair play to him!"
The Daily Mail reported that on September 7, the long-time pair was pictured with moving trucks at their old residence in West Hollywood.
It has been claimed that Chaz and Shara’s new residence is expected to be worth $2.5 million, and it is situated only a few miles away from their previous residence.
Photographs were taken of the movers as they loaded boxes onto big trolleys and then loaded them into a truck. Shara was also captured on camera giving her brother a bear embrace as he arrived to assist them in moving their possessions.
