At the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Chaz Bono married Shara Blue Mathes on March 8, 2026, in a candlelit ceremony that quickly drew attention online. Many social media users were surprised by how much Mathes resembled Chaz’s mother, Cher.
But beyond the internet chatter, the wedding marked a deeply personal moment for the couple. Chaz and Shara first met as teenagers at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute before reconnecting years later and officially becoming a couple in 2017.
The ceremony was also meaningful for Cher, who has long supported her son throughout his life and personal journey. More than a celebrity wedding, the event symbolized enduring love, second chances, and two people finding their way back to each other after decades apart.
