Greg Allman Engaged to Woman 40 Years His Junior

Paul Archuleta, FilmMagic

Seventh time's a charm? Music icon Greg Allman is engaged to a 24-year-old woman, who will be his seventh wife. The 64-year-old founding member of the Allman Brothers Band revealed the engagement Tuesday (May 22) on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" and insisted his fiancée is not "wife number seven."

"That's not what she's becoming. She's becoming wife number one," said the musician, who was visibly uncomfortable with the line of questioning. "I don't have a wife. Haven't had one for years."

When grilled about why he's decided to settle down once again, Allman explained that "this time I am really in love," and went on to say that he's only been in love twice before in his life, though both were "one-sided" relationships.

"They didn't reciprocate," he explained of his former wives, one of whom is fellow music legend Cher.

Allman has one son from his first marriage, another son with Cher, a daughter from his fourth marriage, and a son and daughter from two previous relationships. He tells intimate stories about his family, including his late brother Duane, in his new book, My Cross to Bear.

Why is Greg Allman being catagorized as a country artist? He is the blues all the way!

#7's parents must be so proud of their daughter! WTH does she think she can do for an old man? He may get a "charge" out of it, but she'll soon tire of doing all the work in the bedroom!! At her age her hormones are raging and his are dragging! His manliness by this age is to be the receiver not the giver!! Hell no! Gross!
Yuck I need a barf bag!

I agree, sealandadventure. He has never been a country star. What rock did this blogger crawl out from under? Cher loved the rockers and also the whole band, from what I have heard.

Pretty sure that's the first time Greg Allman's been called a country star. Idiots.

He and his boys stole my custom built bass from me in 1967 in North Hollywood, CA. when we finished doing shows with them and they were called The Hour Glass then. He's persoally ruined many people's lives, including family members, in many different ways, and now he's got his sweaty, drug-soaked hands on another future victim. The Allman Bros were great once, but that was nearly 35 years ago. I wish him the worst. Bitter after all these years ain't I?

"Country star"????????
I recently saw him on Conan and he said, with a straight face, “that Jimmy Carter was a great President and there hasn't been a better one since”. This is why your mother told you to stay away from drugs.
And, indeed, he continues to prove my point….”THIS time I’m really in love” (I’m sure he told his six previous short timers that he wasn’t “really” in love with them.), he also insisted his fiancée is not "wife number seven (ahh, she actually is)…….she is becoming wife number one" (until number eight comes along).
What a person puts into and does with their body (cheeseburgers, tobacco, booze, hookers, 24 year olds and especially drugs) is none of my business and I don’t care, but when your brain is burnt out, please, please stay off of national television……..it’s sad and painful to witness the consequence.
