Chaz Bono – Cher’ Son

American singer and actress, Cherilyn Sarkisian — professionally known as Cher — is widely regarded as the “Goddess of Pop.” She was even described as “embodying female autonomy” at one point — a huge feat in a male-dominated industry. She is given credit for her unique contralto singing voice, and for having worked in different areas of the entertainment industry. She was previously married to Salvatore “Sonny” Bono, the other half of the singing duo Sonny & Cher.

The couple has a son, Chaz Bono, who is widely known for his role in the TV show The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. Between the years of 2008 and 2010, Chaz underwent female-to-male gender transition, and his transition was featured on Entertainment Tonight. He had legally changed his name and gender back in May 2010, and his experience, Becoming Chaz, was featured at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011.
