In the Entertainment Tonight interview, Elijah Blue Allman admitted that he believed his addiction wasn't quite as painful as his battle with Lyme disease. Nonetheless, he thought the ordeal had a silver lining because while getting treated in Germany, he was set up on a blind date with his future wife, Marieangela King. An elated Allman brought her home, and they started living together under Cher's roof. However, the women couldn't get along, so they moved out and cut contact with Cher. 

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Allman hinted that the rift between his mother and partner happened because Cher couldn't tolerate the presence of someone who would stand up for herself. Allman and King went on to get engaged, but much to his dismay, Cher never spoke about their union publicly and didn't privately reach out to celebrate the milestone. As a result, the couple didn't bother inviting the "Believer" singer to their wedding when they eloped. 

Allman explained his point of view to the Daily Mail, saying: "I wasn't going to wait for anyone's approval and congratulations just like I've never waited for any of that my whole life. The way I eloped with my wife is the same way I've done everything I've ever done. I don't know any other way and we knew it was the right time." Allman shared that Cher retorted by not inviting him and his wife for Christmas. Meanwhile, King accused the "Strong Enough" singer of abducting her husband in 2022.
