“A Mother’s Love”
This caption identifies Elijah Blue Allman, Chaz Bono and Cher. The image is credited to Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection via Getty. The accompanying text recalls Cher speaking with Robin McGraw during a 2004 appearance on Dr. Phil.
“A Mom at Work”
The caption identifies Cher, Chaz and Elijah, and credits the photo to Harry Langdon/Getty. Its accompanying text connects the image with Cher’s 1999 interview with Entertainment Weekly about parenting while working. As reproduced in the PEOPLE syndication, Cher said: “A working mom at best is not very good. I mean I love my kids, but I could’ve been a lot better mom. I think I was kind of strict and dragged them with me and had great times and bad times.”
Rank #2
“Stepping into Parenthood”
This photo shows Cher with Chaz and is credited to Kevin Mazur/WireImage. The caption notes Chaz’s birth in March 1969.
“Biggest Fan” and other gallery images
The gallery also discusses Chaz’s interest in acting. Its syndicated text includes other image credits—among them Frank Edwards/Fotos International/Getty, Frank Trapper/Corbis via Getty, Ron Galella/Ron Galella Collection/Getty and L. Cohen/WireImage—but does not consistently expose enough caption detail to match every credit to a particular frame. Check the individual image caption before attributing a photographer or agency.

What the dated archive records show
Getty’s editorial archive separately catalogues 18 images in a collection headed “UNS: In The News: Cher & Son Elijah Blue Allman.” The entries span several decades; they are records for particular photographs, not a basis for assigning dates to images in another gallery. Examples include:
- March 20, 1977: Cher and Elijah at Los Angeles International Airport.
- December 21, 1977: Cher, Elijah and Chastity Bono in Aspen.
- 1980: The archive lists family images from this year.
- June 1981: A Los Angeles portrait session with Cher, Chastity and Elijah.
- Other entries: The collection also lists a 1981 softball event and Rocky Horror Picture Show opening, a 2001 film premiere, the 2002 Billboard Music Awards and a 2012 airport sighting.
See Getty’s editorial archive for the catalogue. Confirm the date, people and setting in an individual image record before using them as that photograph’s caption; a general timeline cannot establish the exact date of an unverified frame.

Cher’s comments about her sons
In a 2010 Vanity Fair profile, Cher reflected on the brothers’ different childhood relationships with their fathers and described both as artistic. Speaking about them, she said: “They are both very talented, both very artistic, and they are good children. They’re grown-ups. They’re so different.” These are Cher’s retrospective views, not independent assessments of the brothers. Read the profile in Vanity Fair.
