Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman’srequest to dismiss his divorcefrom wife Marieangela King has officially been granted.
Allman — the son of Cher and second husband Gregg Allman — first filed for divorce from King, 36, in 2021 after tying the knot in December 2013.

King, meanwhile, wrote in a filing of her own that she and Allman “live together as a married couple.”
“Elijah is a brilliant musical and conceptual artist and a king, thoughtful, and generous man,” she wrote. “He is the love of my life and I absolutely adore him. He is also a recovering drug addict and alcoholic.”
In Monday’s hearing, the judge ruled against Cher’s proposed injunction because Allman has proved “he has managed his finances” and “has an apartment,” and since “he has remained drug free” after submitting “several drug tests.”
In court documents that surfaced in September of last year, King accused the Grammy-winning singer ofhiring four men to kidnap Allmanin late 2022.

Regarding the allegations, Chertold PEOPLE in an October interview “that rumor is not true” and declined to comment further.
She did, however, confirm that the private family matter was related to her son’s addiction issues, which he has spoken openly about over the years.
“I’m not suffering from any problem that millions of people in the United States aren’t,” Cher said of watching her son’s years-long struggles with substance abuse. “I’m a mother. This is my job — one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache — mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them.”
