It was a very strange life."

While things started looking up once when she entered adulthood, the opposite turned out to be true.

Eventually, their platonic relationship became romantic, and the happy couple married in 1964.

Eventually, though, Cher couldn’t ignore her sadness anymore and even started feeling suicidal.

I wasn’t allowed to do anything except work.

Eventhe end of Sonny and Cher’s marriage was full of tragic details.

Later, she also shared an X post gushing about what an amazing man her ex-husband was.
