Marina Watts, a Digital Writer focusing on Music at PEOPLE, has reported that the divorce battle between Elijah Blue Allman and his estranged wife, Marieangela King, has taken an interesting turn. In recently filed court documents obtained by PEOPLE on June 20, King brought Allman’s mother, the iconic Cher, into the case, alleging that Cher supported their lifestyle before their separation.
In the filings, King, aged 37, not only requested spousal support and coverage for her attorney’s fees during the divorce from Allman, aged 48, but also detailed the luxurious lifestyle they led during their marriage. This lifestyle reportedly included traveling in Europe, staying in 5-star hotels, flying first and business class, and having access to amenities such as private pools, gyms, and chefs. King also mentioned dining at upscale restaurants like Mr. Chows, Nobu, and Chateau Marmont during their time together.
King, who described herself as a “singer/songwriter/entertainer, housewife,” stated in the court documents that she would need a high executive-level salary for at least ten years to maintain the standard of living she had with Allman. She claimed that Allman received regular payments from music residuals, trust funds, and significant contributions from his family, including his mother, Cher.
According to King’s declaration in the documents, she highlighted that Allman had a steady income of at least $20,000 a month from two separate accounts and that the financial support they received came directly from his mother, Cher. Despite requests for comments, a representative for Cher did not respond to PEOPLE’s queries regarding the situation.
A key point of contention in the filings is King’s financial situation, where she claimed to have only $3,651.96 in liquid assets at the time of filing. Seeking temporary spousal support that would cover basic living expenses and legal representation, King maintained that her requests were not for luxury but rather to address her current financial constraints.
Allman and King tied the knot in December 2013, but their marriage hit a rough patch, leading to King filing for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences. Despite the challenges in their relationship, King acknowledged the memories they created during their 13-year journey and expressed the hope that they would remain friends as they navigated this new chapter.
It is also worth noting that Allman had previously filed to dismiss a divorce petition from King in 2021, a motion that was granted by the court in February 2024. The recent hospitalization of Allman on June 14 due to erratic behavior has cast a shadow over their ongoing legal proceedings, with Cher reportedly providing support for her son’s well-being during this challenging time.
As the divorce drama unfolds between Elijah Blue Allman and Marieangela King, the complexities of their relationship and the involvement of Cher in their financial matters continue to raise eyebrows. The outcome of these legal battles and the impact on all parties involved remain to be seen as they strive to find resolution and closure amidst the public scrutiny.
