Cher has been an outspoken supporter of Chaz, who was born Chastity Bono to her and the late Sonny Bono. Chaz's transition to male became legal last year.
Chaz has been paired up with pro Lacey Schwimmer, and don't be surprised to see Cher in the audience or even performing on the popular ABC reality competition.
