Cher says she struggled with suicidal thoughts while married to Sonny Bono: ‘Dizzy with loneliness’
These thoughts, she wrote, stemmed from her unhappiness in her marriage to Sonny Bono. The pair officially tied the knot in the 1960s and welcomed one child, Chaz Bono, in 1969, before divorcing in 1975. In her memoir, Cher wrote that when she was 26 and frustrated with her “loveless marriage,” she contemplated ending her life multiple times.
