Hmmm....maybe that's part of the "discreet" stuff Ms. Nicks alluded to...

I know that after they hit it big Sonny and Cher said they were married and it wasn't until years later that they revealed they hadn't been. They said they wanted to marry, but Sonny's divorce from his first wife Donna was not final, so they couldn't. Next thing they knew, they had a hit record and the press was looking at them. So, it was 1965 and their long hair was alienating the conservatives enough. They didn't want to compound the problem by revealing that they were living together out of wedlock (and had been since she was 16 and he was 27).
So, they waited until after their star had fallen and they were no longer in the public eye to slip and get married, when it wouldn't create a stir. In fact, they didn't get married until after Chastity was born in March 1969. So, they perpetuated that lie for P.R. reasons.
