Elijah Blue Allman ‘Agrees' With Mom Cher: Divorce From Marieangela ‘Queenie' King ‘Is for the Best'
Cher and son Elijah Blue Allman have experienced their share of drama throughout the years, but a source exclusively tells In Touch she's making it perfectly clear that when it comes to his impending, likely messy divorce from estranged wife Marieangela King, she's in his corner 100 percent and ready to throw her weight behind any legal dispute. 'Cher is absolutely thrilled that this divorce is happening,' the insider reveals. 'She's convinced that without Marieangela in his life, Elijah will finally get it back together.' Elijah, 48, the only child of Cher, 78, and her late ex-husband, Gregg Allman, originally filed for divorce from from Marieangela in 2021. After a period of reconciliation, he asked a judge to grant a divorce dismissal for that filing, which the court obliged in February 2024. The reunion wasn't to last, as the 37-year-old singer, known professionally as Queenie, filed for divorce this time against her husband on April 8, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking $6,000 per month in spousal support. "We had a beautiful 13-year journey, filled with memories I'll always cherish. I know we'll remain friends, and Elijah will always hold a special place in my heart," Marieangela told People of the split. "As we turn the page to this next chapter, we kindly ask for privacy and truly appreciate your understanding." The couple married in 2013 and pretty much the entirety of their nearly 13 years together was fraught with drama. Mom Cher did not approve in the slightest. In fact, the insider notes she's so thrilled to be getting Marieangela out of Elijah's life once and for all she's willing to foot the bill for the separation. 'She's more than happy to pay for his divorce lawyers,' the source says. 'She'll be paying the settlement too, which isn't making her happy, but right now she's just focusing on supporting Elijah and keeping him strong through this break-up.' The 'Believe' singer was incensed after Elijah changed his mind about the divorce and decided to mend fences with his wife two years before. She even filed an ex parte motion that he be placed in a temporary emergency conservatorship due to his alleged mental health and substance abuse issues in late 2023, which was denied. Now that divorce is looking more real than ever, the source says the Goddess of Pop is just glad to have her son back and is working on providing whatever he needs to move past this particularly nasty chapter of his life. 'She's spending a lot of time with him, she's gone into full mother hen mode. They're getting massages and other spa treatments together to fully relax,' the insider explains. 'She has her energy healer working on him, too. He's staying with her and getting fully pampered.' 'She is over the moon to have this chance to bond with him and be his mom again. She is very maternal and shines in a crisis.' 'Elijah actually seems to be on really good behavior,' the source notes. 'He's sad his marriage is ending, but he seems to agree with his mom — that this is for the best. Now he just wants it to be over as quickly as possible.'

Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman disheveled with fake nail, sores at LA hotspot after singer sounded alarm on his ‘mental health'
Cher's 48-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman, was recently spotted looking worse for wear following the end of his ugly conservatorship battle with his superstar mom. Allman, whose father was the late Southern rockstar Gregg Allman, was caught on camera smoking a cigarette outside the famous Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, Calif., this week. His clothes were in tatters, per a video first obtained by Daily Mail, and he struggled to stand up straight as he stumbled around the exclusive Hollywood hotspot. Allman, who had a long, nail-polished fingernail on his right hand, was also seen staring off vacantly before shakily wandering back into the famed hotel. The Post reached out to Cher's rep for comment. The disturbing footage of Cher's adult son comes months after the 'Believe' singer, 78, and Allman ended their bitter conservatorship battle. Cher first applied to place her son in a conservatorship in December 2023, claiming he could not 'substantially manage his own financial resources' because of 'severe mental health and substance abuse issues.' 'Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk,' the legal documents stated. She also claimed that Allman's estranged wife, Marieangela King, was a bad influence on her son and actively worked against her efforts to get him help. The battle became so intense that King, 37, accused the Goddess of Pop of hiring four men to kidnap Allman to send him to a rehab facility. But Cher denied King's kidnapping allegations and told The Post at the time, 'I didn't do it, and if I did it, I wouldn't say I did it.' The 'If I Could Turn Back Time' singer ultimately dismissed the conservatorship case in September 2024. 'The team successfully defended Elijah, resulting in Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition,' Allman's lawyers told People following the dismissal. 'This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond,' they added, 'a process that began during mediation and continues today.' In April, King filed for divorce from Allman, citing irreconcilable differences. She marked their date of separation as March 31, 2025. 'We had a beautiful 13-year journey, filled with memories I'll always cherish,' she said after filing for divorce. 'I know we'll remain friends, and Elijah will always hold a special place in my heart.' 'As we turn the page to this next chapter,' she added, 'we kindly ask for privacy and truly appreciate your understanding.' King also requested $6K per month in temporary spousal support and the family vehicle: a 2017 Toyota Prius.
