Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman is set to beg his “I Got You Babe” mommy to bail him out to the tune of $26,000, sources say.
Court documents reviewed by the National Enquirer show the drug-challenged musician owes the dough to his estranged wife, Marieangela King, for failing to fork over $16,000 in back spousal support and $10,000 in legal fees pending the outcome of their divorce.

“Elijah has been burning through his trust fund cash for years now, and the word is that he’s broke as a joke,” an insider tells the Enquirer. “He’s got no real way of paying this money, so going cap in hand to his mom is his best chance to climb out of debt.”
As Enquirer readers know, the troubled 49-year-old son of late rocker Gregg Allman was last spotted Aug. 6 shuffling out of Hollywood’s famed Chateau Marmont. He’d checked into the Sunset Strip spot, where rooms run from $700 to $1,100 per night, following another rehab stint after an alleged drug overdose.
“Right now, Elijah is sofa-surfing between friends’ places and cheaper hotels, because he doesn’t have the means to stay at the fancy five-star places he loves,” the insider says. “He takes a lot of pride at not being traceable. In his mind it’s nobody’s business where he parks his head at night and — most certainly — he doesn’t want his mom or the media hunting him down.”

The “Believe” singer, 79, applied for conservatorship of her second-born in December 2023 due to his alleged substance abuse and mental health issues. By the following September, lawyers revealed she dropped the application.
Marieangela filed to end her 13-year marriage to Elijah in April, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
In her Aug. 8 filing, she said: “I have not received any payments from Respondent. To my knowledge he is staying at an expensive hotel and ignoring his obligations.”
Despite Elijah’s struggles, the insider says Cher — who’s worth an estimated $360 million — loves her son and will most likely give him the dough.
“It’ll be a big test of Cher’s resolve, since the last thing she wants is to hand over a dime to this woman, via Elijah or otherwise,” the source tells the Enquirer. “But at the end of the day he is her flesh and blood and she has a long history of bailing him out.”
