Cher‘s son Chaz Bono is moving to a new house in Hollywood with his fiancée as moving trucks arrived to pack up their home.
Chaz, 55, and his longtime partner Shara Blue Mathes were spotted directing movers at their soon-to-be-former home in West Hollywood on September 7.
The pair are moving to a $2.5 million house just a few miles away as they prepare to live as a married couple after their upcoming wedding.
Chaz and Shara got together in January 2017, a decade after he began his transition from female to male, and got engaged in recent years.

Shara was dressed in an oversized pink Neil Young printed T-shirt and baggy three-quarter cargo shorts as she directed movers outside.
She warmly greeted her brother with a hug and thanked him for helping out with the moving process.
Movers piled boxes on to trolleys and loaded them into the back of a truck for the short journey to the new house.
As a child, before he transitioned, Chaz was known as Chastity and appeared on his very famous parents’ variety show The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.
Now an actor, he most recently appearing in American Horror Story and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

He was spotted running errands in the area a few days later, parking his black Mercedes and carrying a blue drink bottle to stay hydrated.
He wore a black T-shirt with Rose Apothecary printed on it, a reference to a fictional store in Schitt’s Creek in the TV series of the same name.
Chaz’s mother has now abandoned her bid to get conservatorship over her other son Elijah Blue Allman, 48.
The nearly year-long legal battle came to an end on September 13 after the 78-year-old filed a notice to withdraw at Los Angeles Superior Court.

Chaz will wed former child star Shara, who appeared alongside Jason Bateman in the 1984 comedy series It’s Your Move when she was 15, in the near future.
However, his mother will reportedly not be there as she was uninvited from the wedding as part of the fallout from the messy court battle.
‘Chaz and Shara are removing Cher from the guest list entirely and don’t feel too bad about it either,’ an insider told In Touch in February.
‘They want a simple ceremony with none of Cher’s theatrics.’
Whether Cher giving up her conservatorship claim will mend fences remains to be seen.

Shara, a former drug addict and divorced mother-of-one, went on to work for homeless charities and was with Housing Works in LA when they met.
She opened up about her addiction in a 2018 post celebrating Cooper’s 18th birthday, after being unable to care for him for two years.
‘I thank God for my family who took over for me when my addiction rendered me powerless of my life and choices,’ she wrote.
‘You never had to see me on drugs and my Mom, Dad and brother loved you all they possibly could until I was healthy again.
‘Earning my way back into your life was hard work. I would’ve done manual labor at the rock quarry if that’s what it took!

Cher and son Elijah Blue Allman’s bitter legal battle came to an end on Monday after she withdrew her petition for conservatorship of her troubled son
‘Mom and Dad knew what they were doing by making me wait until I was 2 years sober to come back into your life… but I would kill to get those years back.’
Chaz opened up about his own prescription drug problems in his 2011 book Transition: The Story Of How I Became A Man.
He explained he took prescription opiates to cope with two tragedies, his father Sonny’s death in a freak skiing accident in 1998 and then the death of his lover Joan Stephens.
Chaz was to marry his ex-fiancée Jennifer Elia, but they broke up just weeks after his November 27, 2011, TV special Being Chaz showed him proposing on top of the Space Needle in Seattle.
