77-Year-Old Cher Admits Boyfriend Alexander ‘A.E.’ Edwards, 37, Doesn’t Understand ‘Most’ Of Her References

In November last year, Cher’s relationship sparked reactions from netizens after she was spotted holding hands with her new boyfriend, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards. The major controversy about their relationship hinged on the 40-year age gap between them, but the Grammy Award winner defended her love choice. “Looks strange [but love] doesn’t know math,” she tweeted on Thanksgiving Day.

However, it seems their relationship hasn’t been all smooth, as the lovers were rumored to have ended things just six months after meeting. In September of this year, the lovers were spotted having a time out together, and some of her fans were happy that they were back together. In a recent interview, the singer opened up about her relationship with Alexander and the challenges that they have encountered.

During the conversation with Extra, Cher expressed her overall happiness and explained that from the very beginning, there was a palpable chemistry between them, which quickly led to a deep connection. She then acknowledged that, like any relationship, there are some challenges to navigate. The singer shared that one notable factor is the age difference, which sometimes leads to miscommunications between them.

“We have a great time together. We can talk music. We can talk about everything. He’s a got a great sense of humor, we just get each other,” the singer told the news outlet. “Sometimes I’m talking to him and he has no idea who I’m talking about… The other day, I said, ‘Do you know who, I don’t know, Clark Gable, [is]?’ Somebody said, ‘Yes, of course,’ but most of my references… He’ll look at me and go, ‘I wasn’t born yet.’”

Cher reminisces on how she met her boyfriend

Cher and Alexander publicly acknowledged their romantic relationship in November 2022 and since then, they have been frequently photographed holding hands and sharing affectionate kisses while attending various events. During an interview with PEOPLE magazine, the legendary singer openly shared her amazement regarding how their connection began.

Cher recounted the unexpected turn of events when the 37-year-old Alexander sent her a text message after a brief encounter at Paris Fashion Week. She emphasized that she had not been actively seeking a romantic partner; rather, love simply unfolded between them. “It was really shocking, because people just don’t give out my number,” Cher confessed. “I had been telling all my friends, ‘We’re too old to go out with really younger men, and I will never fall in love on text.’ So I did what I said not to do!”
