Cher learned she had a teenaged granddaughter after her son Elijah admitted he'd had a child in 2010 and not told her.
The singer's grandchild is called Ever and is the daughter of Cher's son Elijah Allman and a woman named Kayti Edwards who he was briefly in a relationship with. Allman and Edwards had been friends for years before having a one night stand and in 2010 Ever was born, with Edwards saying that last year Cher learned she had a granddaughter after calling her up.
She told the Sun on Sunday that when the truth came out the singer was 'speechless' at learning her family was larger than she thought.
Kayti said: "Cher got in touch with me last June and asked if it was true, so I had to confess.

"She said she had heard something about it from Elijah back in 2021, but didn’t know if it was just crazy talk. When she heard the news, she was speechless."
After learning the news Cher's words to her family were 'oh my God, I’m finally a grandma', while Kayti explained that Elijah 'always knew from day one' though he' never wanted to be a parent'.
“He would pop in every couple of years but would just say hello," she explained.
“It wasn’t until 2021, when he overdosed on drugs, that he blurted out to his then-wife that he had a child. This is what started the rumours in the family.
“He then sent me a text message to say he wanted to make amends."

Nevertheless, she said she considered her husband to be Ever's 'true father' as he'd been the one who raised her daughter with her, saying she 'couldn’t ask for a better father for my kids'.
In September last year Kayti and Ever were invited to stay with Cher and meet her in person, saying she was 'lovely and kind' as a host.
So Cher has been able to spend time with her granddaughter and they're still in contact.
The singer had in the past said she wanted grandkids, as in 2018 while doing press for the second Mamma Mia film she said she wished she did have grandchildren.
Kayti said it had been 'nothing but a good experience', and that 'Cher is also very protective of Ever' now she knows she's got a granddaughter.
Ever only recently learned that Elijah was her biological father after he was arrested, until then she'd thought he was 'just a family friend'.
