Chaz was born Chastity Bono on March 4, 1969, and became well-known through appearances on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.
As a child, Chaz felt different from his peers and struggled to connect with them. At 18, he came out as a lesbian, later realizing he identified as male. Cher admitted it was difficult for her to accept at first but ultimately embraced Chaz’s journey, even describing a “mourning period” for the loss of her daughter.
Chaz’s transition included a successful career in entertainment, notably becoming the first transgender man on Dancing with the Stars in 2011. He also faced personal challenges, including weight struggles. His health journey began in earnest during his transition, leading to significant weight loss, although it came with the challenge of excess skin.
After a tumultuous engagement with Jennifer Elia, who supported him through his transition, Chaz found love again with Shara Mathes in 2017. They maintain a relatively private relationship, with Chaz expressing gratitude for their bond on social media.

In 1965, Paul Harvey’s Warning Was Broadcast
In 1965, an unforgettable warning was broadcast for all to hear. Over half a century later, it’s sadly come true, and it’s chilling to hear.
Paul Harvey, a conservative American news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of America’s most familiar voices, reached tens of millions of listeners at the peak of his career. His “idiosyncratic delivery of news stories with dramatic pauses, quirky intonations, and many of his standard lead-ins and sign-offs” made him extremely recognizable on the radio.
Although he was very accurate in his reporting, no one could imagine that his famous words from decades ago would be prophetic, describing the reality of today. Indeed, over half a century ago, the legendary ABC Radio commentator, who was born Paul Harvey Aurandt in 1918, seeming predicted how the United States is right now during a broadcast that aired in 1965.
If I Were the Devil: Paul…:
