Cher may be ready to marry and be a bride to her boyfriend, with people close to her claiming she has never felt more sure of what she wants. As her 80th birthday approaches in May, reports claim the music icon plans to marry her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, the 39‑year‑old music executive she has been with since late 2022. Regarding the age gap, she reportedly does not care about it.
Cher doesn’t give a ‘hoot’ about her and her boyfriend’s age gap, claims insider
According to PageSix via The Mirror, an insider claimed that Cher feels confident about her relationship with her boyfriend, and “doesn’t give a hoot about their [40-year] age difference.” The source further claimed that “they’re both ready to commit to each other.” They added, “She sees her upcoming celebration at turning 80 as the perfect time for her and Alexander to seal the deal.”
Cher’s rep told PageSix that the report from The Sun is “not true.” But even with the denial, the interest has not slowed down. During her appearance on CBS Mornings in November, she brushed off criticism when Gayle King asked about the public reaction to their ages. “Whatever,” Cher said, adding that, “They’re not living my life. Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast.” She also shared something Edwards often told her about getting older: “You know, you get older, but your spirit is younger.”
Moreover, Cher said, “I just love him.” She gushed, “I think he’s beautiful. He’s really talented. He’s one of the most talented persons I’ve ever met.” The couple first sparked headlines in November 2022 after being photographed holding hands in Los Angeles. Days later, she spoke directly to fans on social media, writing on X, “Let Me Explain… I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.” She added, “Haters are Gonna Hate… Doesn’t Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone.”
By March 2023, the two made their red carpet debut at the Versace fall show, arriving together and sharing a kiss in front of photographers.
