Which actress did Sonny Bono marry in 1964?

Sonny Bono married singer and actress Cher in 1964.

Sonny Bono and Cher began as a personal and professional partnership before becoming a major entertainment act. They married in 1964 and achieved wide success with recordings such as “I Got You Babe,” released in 1965.

Their television program, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, premiered in 1971 and made the couple familiar to a mass audience. Cher’s striking style and singing career developed alongside Bono’s songwriting, production, and performance work.

They had one child, Chaz Bono, and divorced in 1975. Sonny later entered politics and served as mayor of Palm Springs before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Cher went on to become an Oscar-winning actress and a major solo recording artist. The wording can be misleading because Cher is best known as a singer, but she also had a substantial acting career.
