Perhaps the seventh time's a charm.

Rocker Gregg Allman is set to walk down the aisle with wife No. 7, and "this time," the 64-year-old rocker said, "I am really in love."

The Allman Brothers Band founding member, who appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight Tuesday (among several other shows this week), is engaged to 24-year-old Shannon Williams.

And although he's tied the knot many times before, Allman said it feels like his first "I do."

"This is my first wife...It's just—it's altogether different. I'm sober," Allman went on to say on CBS This Morning.

Allman was once married to Cher, and discusses his past relationship with her and his previous wives in his memoir My Cross to Bear, which hit shelves May 1.

The couple has yet to set a date for their nuptials.
