Inside Cher’s Breakup With Sonny Bono After Kissing Guitarist

After Sonny shockingly allowed Cher to spend the evening with Bill, where she made it clear they did not get intimate that specific night, the following day, the power couple knew their romance was officially done. “Sonny came around my side of the bed, picked up my hand, and pulled my wedding ring off my finger. It took me a second to realize what he was doing, but I was too exhausted to care,” the tome reads.

“Ever since we’d first started living together, he’d been secretly convinced I’d leave him one day, something he didn’t properly tell me until years later, although he’d written it in a poem he gave me way back. There was a line, ‘a butterfly to be loved by all but not by one,'” she noted.

Before they both agreed to divorce, Cher and Sonny’s marriage got so bad she contemplated taking her own life. “Standing barefoot on the balcony of our suite at the Sahara hotel in Las Vegas, I stared down, dizzy with loneliness, as I saw how easy it would be to step over the edge and simply disappear,” the brunette beauty said.
