"Cher and her son Chaz Bono are reportedly not speaking to one another after falling out. A source close to the singer&amp;#039;s 44-year-old son told Radar Online that the pair &amp;quot;barely speak anymore&amp;quot;, but that both are okay with that.   Chaz Bono underwent gender reassignment and officially became male in 2010. His argument with Cher is said to be due to the fact that she disagrees with the &amp;quot;very public way&amp;quot; he has dealt with the change. The source said: &amp;quot;Cher loves Chaz to death but she stopped talking to him because they just don&amp;#039;t see eye to eye on the very public way he&amp;#039;s continued to deal with his transformation. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s really at peace with the transgendered aspect, it&amp;#039;s just that she still sees Chaz as her little girl and the dramatic physical changes are really hard on her. &amp;quot;Chaz understands completely so they both agreed to take a little family sabbatical - from each other. &amp;quot;Cher even joked that Chaz reminded her too much of his dad Sonny, and you know how well that turned out.&amp;quot;  Chaz Bono was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars last year, and appeared on daytime series The Doctors in a bid to lose weight towards the end of 2012. &amp;quot;Chaz knows better than anyone that Cher loves her privacy - from her fans and, yes, even from her own kids. &amp;quot;Chaz is giving his mother all the space she needs. He&amp;#039;s not taking it personally at all, because he knows in time Cher will come around - she always does,&amp;quot; the source added. The &amp;#039;Turn Back Time&amp;#039; singer has been publicly supportive of her son&amp;#039;s decision to undergo gender reassignment. She described him as &amp;quot;same child, different wrapping&amp;quot; during a 2011 interview. Cher was the subject of a Twitter mix-up earlier this week when users read the hashtag &amp;#039;now Thatcher&amp;#039;s dead&amp;#039; as &amp;#039;now that Cher&amp;#039;s dead&amp;#039;.
