They came upon each other on a blind date. After developing a relationship, the couple traveled Europe together – enjoying a private tour of the Louvre museum in Paris – before finally moving back to Los Angeles.

Elijah and Angie got married in front of the fireplace in their Beverly Hills house. The Gothic rock artist said the wedding had just a few friends of his, one of them being the rapper Mickey Avalon. Allman explained he and his wife wanted something that was sacred and private.

Angie is also signed to Elijah’s own record label Trankilo.

Allman’s Pop Icon Mother Didn’t Acknowledge His Relationship With Angie And Wasn’t Invited To His Wedding

Elijah revealed he suggested to Angie that they get married after his rockstar mother failed to acknowledge or congratulate the couple. And it was also the reason why Cher didn’t receive an invitation to his wedding. As per the songstress’ son, Cher didn’t approve of their relationship.

Allman said he wasn’t going to wait for anyone’s approval and congratulations just like he’s never waited for any of that his whole life.

The Moonstruck star also didn’t invite the couple to Christmas at her Malibu home in 2013.

What Caused The Rift Between Cher And His Son, Elijah

Apparently, in early 2013, when Allman and Angie were just dating, they had briefly moved in with Cher under the same roof but things turned sower between mother and the couple. Also, the reason why Elijah and his wife left the house and got married to the singer was absent.

Additionally, when the trio was living together, Angie told how she and her would-be mother-in-law would work out together to Cher’s workout DVDs but would often clash.

Cher also did not reach out to congratulate her son and his girlfriend on their engagement.

Elijah Blue Allman Terrible History With Drugs  

Although Cher tried to save Allman from his father’s bad pattern, Elizah somehow ended up doing drugs.

This toxic behavior led him to rehab and even years of estrangement from his mother. Cher, nonetheless supported her son even when they weren’t speaking. Elijah admitted he has always been the black sheep of his family and that he and his singer mother have had lots of ups and downs.

Elijah eventually became sober and subsequently became closer to his mother in 2013 albeit for a short period. The Academy mother of Allman then said she was grateful to have both her children in her life again.

He Reconciled With His Mother In 2020

In July 2020, Globe reported Elijah, his wife, and his superstar mother had buried the hatchet with the fashionista singer even welcoming back her son and daughter-in-law. Allegedly the three also spent the pandemic 2020 together. Reportedly it was Allman’s grandmother (Cher’s mother), Georgia Holt who served as a peacemaker.

Elijah Blue Allman Dated Some Famous Celebs Including Paris Hilton; Had Threesome With Pamela Anderson’s Husband

Way back, media used to link Elijah with stars like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Heather Graham.

Talking about one of those relationships, he once claimed he scrubbed his private parts with household bathroom cleaner Tilex after having sex with Hilton. He added he had nothing bad to say about any of those women.

Some sources later reported Hilton had become furious with Cher’s son for claiming that the two had sex. In like manner, few have gone as far as telling Exeter had a threesome with porno queen Debbie Diamond and Pamela Anderson’s ex-husband, Tommy Lee. Though this was during his time as a drug addict.

Elijah Blue Allman Nearly Lost His Life To A Disease

While having a conversation with Et online, Deadsy’s lead man opened up about a near-fatal bout with Lyme disease that was eventually cured by doctors in Germany that he said was “so much darker” than even his heroin addiction.

He believes he contracted the disease from swimming in the Indian Ganges river in 2005. The case was so severe that when one ‘body cleanse’ went wrong he ended up in an intensive care unit for two weeks.

On the other hand, it was also the same time when he met his wife Angie.

Elijah Blue Allman’s Networth

Blue’s net worth is yet to be assessed, unlike his mother who has a massive fortune of around $350million. It’s clearly hard to say that he is anywhere near as rich as his multiple-chart-topping mother. Especially, considering his moderately talked about music, shows, and albums. Whatever the case, an astounding wealth is probably not in the possession of Allman as of this writing.

However, there’s a chance, although, slim, that the only child of Cher and Gregg is worth in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Equally important is the fact that he could very well be inheriting millions if the second time patch up with his wealthy mother goes well in the long run.

Also, he has, at times, been reported to have done property deals in million figures. As such, in April 2010, the lyricist listed his 1,455 square feet West Hollywood, CA house with a price tag of $1.1million.
