Cher’s Transgender Daughter Chaz Marries Longtime Girlfriend

Chaz Bono, the transgender-identifying daughter of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, married longtime girlfriend  Shara Blue Mathes.

Chaz’ famous mother attended the affair hosted at The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles, California, March 8 with a “Hollywood Glam Formal” dress code, according to People. Chaz and Mathes met more than 40 years ago when they were both teenagers. The two met at Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, eventually reuniting and making their romance official in January 2017.

“I first met Shara more than 40 years ago when we were just teenagers,” Chaz, 57, told People.

“I think it’s safe to say that not many grooms ultimately end up marrying the very first girl they ever kissed so many years later.”

Chaz continued, “She makes me feel complete knowing she will always be there beside me as partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. No matter what life brings us, we will always be safer and stronger together … and we are home.”
