Cher and her adult son Elijah Blue Allman have agreed to temporarily suspend his conservatorship, which the pop icon requested late last year due to substance abuse and mental health issues.

Cher and 47-year-old Allman – her son from her marriage to late musician Gregg Allman – agreed during private mediation last week to “suspend all legal proceedings and related activities, including all discovery and motion practices,” according to reports According to court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight.

The agreement is intended to support the mother and son’s goal of “resolving this matter privately and confidentially.”

In early January, a judge twice rejected Cher’s request for conservatorship, which she filed in late December.

Last fall, King also accused Cher of orchestrating a kidnapping plot in late 2022 by having Allman “held captive” in a Mexican rehab facility for two months to prevent the then-estranged couple from reconciling.

“This rumor is not true,” Cher later told People, denying King’s claims that she hired a group of men to evict Allman from her New York hotel room. “I don’t suffer from any problem that millions of people in the United States don’t. … That’s my job – to try to help my kids in one way or another.”

Cher remarked, “That’s what being a mother is all about,” and said, “There’s joy even when you’re heartbroken.”…I just keep trying.”
