Cher Connects with Granddaughter Over Family Secrets

has bonded with her 15-year-old granddaughter by giving her a look inside her closet at her Malibu home and talking about boys.

The singer, 79, was reportedly left speechless after discovering she has a granddaughter, confirming years of family rumours that her son had a secret child.

Kayti Edwards, the mother of the teenager, is said to have revealed the truth to the iconic star during an emotional phone call last year.

Kayti - who is also Julie Andrews' granddaughter - has claimed she had a brief fling with Cher's son, Elijah Allman, 49, in 2010, which resulted in the birth of a daughter named Ever.

She alleges Elijah was aware of Ever's existence and would quietly visit every few years, but 'did not want to be a parent.'

According to Kayti, the secret came to light in 2021 when Elijah suffered a drug overdose and later confessed to his now-estranged wife, Marie Angela King, that he had a child.

The revelation is said to have spread through the family, and last year Cher reportedly contacted Kayti to ask if it was true - only to be left 'speechless' upon learning she was a grandmother.

Kayti, who owns a horse rescue centre, said Cher later invited her and Ever to stay at her Malibu home last September.

'She was lovely and kind and we had dinner,' she told The Sun. 'Cher asked Ever if she wanted to see her closet and showed her a pair of jeans she had worn in concert.'

Reflecting on the visit, she added: 'They played in the pool and she spoke to Ever about school and asked her about boys. She was like a kid herself.'

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Cher for comment.

It comes just one day after Cher asked the court to appoint a temporary conservator for her son Elijah following a series of financial, legal, and drug-related crises.

In court documents obtained by the Daily Mail on Friday, the singer - who shares Elijah with her late ex-husband musician Gregg Allman - revealed that her son is currently locked in a psychiatric hospital, describing his life as having 'significantly deteriorated' since she first filed for conservatorship in 2023.

Cher detailed an alarming incident in which Elijah was found unconscious behind the wheel of his car, causing a traffic jam, and was subsequently hospitalised where Narcan was administered to save his life.

The Believe singer also expressed concern over Elijah's financial behaviour, claiming he 'has no concept of money, is unable to manage his financial resources and is unable to withstand fraud or undue influence.'

According to Cher, her son owes $18,000 to a drug dealer and had to borrow money from a friend to avoid further harm.

In addition to his drug issues, Elijah is facing a mounting $200,000 tax bill.

He has also accumulated significant debt after causing damage to various Airbnbs, including cigarette burns and broken windows, as outlined in the court documents.

Cher claims Elijah owes $50,000 from his last Airbnb stay after he reportedly trashed the property.

She also says he’s been banned from 18 hotels for disturbing guests, screaming obscenities, and behaving erratically.

In one disturbing incident, Elijah allegedly cornered a young female maid at a hotel and 'aggressively proposed sexual relations.'

Elijah has also faced recent legal issues, including multiple arrests in New Hampshire for charges of 'felony burglary, criminal mischief, simple assault, criminal trespass, and breach of bail.'

Cher is requesting that the judge appoint fiduciary Jason Rubin as the temporary conservator of Elijah's estate, stressing that her son’s situation has become dire.

She explains that Elijah's mental health has 'severely deteriorated' and his drug dependency is at its worst.

Cher wants Rubin to oversee Elijah's affairs so that his issues 'can start being fixed one problem at a time.'
