Cher’s singing career began in the 1960s, yet she is still one of the most popular female vocalists who has ever lived. This immensely adaptable lady, dubbed the “Goddess of Pop” by the media, has had her fair share of success in a variety of different sectors of entertainment. Throughout her six-decade-long career, she has dazzled her admirers with a range of styles and looks. Cher’s personal life, including her multiple celebrity relationships, is as as amazing as her professional life.

She married her first husband, Sonny Bono, at the age of 16, and they were married for six years before splitting up. Cher gave birth to Chasity Bono, who subsequently transitioned into a male. Cher married her second husband, Gregg Allman, with whom she had son Elijah Blue Allman, professionally known as P. Exeter Blue, the main singer, guitarist, and songwriter of the industrial metal band Deadsy.

Cher was sexually associated with various individuals after her second marriage ended in 1979, including actor Tom Cruise. She initially mentioned her romance with the Mission Impossible actor in 2013. Then, in 2018, she spoke out about Cruise once again, telling the Daily Mail that he was “simply the most charming guy you can imagine.” The two reportedly initially met at Madonna and Sean Penn’s wedding in 1985 and bonded over their same learning disability, dyslexia.

“It was quite hot and heavy for a brief while,” she said on Watch What Happens Live. They met again in the White House after their first encounter. “Then, a group of dyslexics were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic.” We didn’t go out until much later, but there was clearly a connection there.” Cher was definitely smitten with Cruise and named him one of her top five all-time boyfriends.

Warren Beatty, Richie Sambora, Gene Simmons, and Val Kilmer were also on the list. She also said that Cruise was not a member of Scientology at the time they dated. However, although she felt comfortable discussing their affair openly, Cruise was not pleased. A insider told Mirror: “Everyone knows he wasn’t pleased – it looked to be a sensitive matter.”
