CHER WISHES SHE’D HAD KIDS LATER IN LIFE
Pop superstar CHER regrets trying to juggle motherhood with her chart-topping career in the 1970s and believes she would have been a better parent if she’d waited several years to start a family.
The Believe hitmaker and her first husband Sonny Bono welcomed daughter Chastity in 1969, when the singer was just 23 and their double act Sonny & Cher was at the height of its success.
She later married rocker Gregg Allman and had a second child, son Elijah, in 1976.
But Cher was often so busy balancing her job as an entertainer and a mother, she fears she failed to lavish her kids with the attention they needed.
In an interview with U.S. news show 20/20, the 64-year-old says, "I have been a good mother in fits and starts, but when you do work like mine, and I’m like most working mothers - they never feel like they’re doing a good job because they’re never able to devote enough time.
"I have a lot of regrets about my parenting… Maybe I should have had children when I was older." The 20/20 chat airs on Friday night (19Nov10).
