Cher is looking back at her second marriage – and what went wrong.The singer reflected on her relationship with Gregg Allman in her bestselling book, “Cher: The Memoir, Part One” and why she said “I do” so quickly.According to the book, Cher’s divorce from her ex-husband Sonny Bono was finalized in June 1975 when she had already begun dating the rocker.The now-78-year-old admitted that she had some reservations about her blossoming romance with the Allman Brothers Band singer.“I didn’t know whether my relationship with Gregory would last or not,” the star wrote, as quoted by People magazine on Wednesday.“I was living each day as it came,” she shared.“Then I found out I was pregnant, and we decided to get married.”According to the outlet, Cher wanted to be married if she was having a baby.“I just kept putting one foot in front of the other,” wrote Cher, as quoted by the outlet.

“The future is never written in stone.I did what I thought was the right thing to do.”The book noted that Cher’s sister Georganne “Gee” and her friend Paulette looked at the singer “as if I’d gone into an alternative universe” after telling them she was ready to tie the knot.

In response, Cher said, “Come on, let’s just do this.”The outlet noted that the wedding happened days after Cher’s divorce from Bono.“There was nothing romantic about our wedding day,” the Oscar winner admitted.Nine days after their wedding, Cher filed to dissolve the marriage.They reconciled. The couple welcomed a son, Elijah Blue Allman, in 1976.

However, they called it quits for good in 1979.The New York Post previously reported that the “Believe” singer originally filed for divorce after allegedly finding a “plastic bag full of white powder” that belonged to her spouse.Things only worsened when she later learned that Allman had a crippling addiction to heroin.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
