Cher On Massive Age Gap With 39-Year-Old Boyfriend

Cher has always defied expectations, both on and off stage. Now, at 79, the Goddess of Pop is proving that love has no timeline. In a new interview, she opened up about her relationship with 39-year-old music executive Alexander “AE” Edwards, sharing how joy and connection—not age—define their bond. According to People, Cher brushed off public opinions about their 40-year age difference with humor and grace.

Reflecting on her long career, Cher’s honesty about finding happiness feels like another chapter in her remarkable story. She’s no stranger to reinvention, and this time, her transformation is emotional rather than artistic. As she told Gayle King, she and Edwards “just have a blast” together, showing that true connection can make life feel young again.

Cher said age has never been an issue between her and Edwards. “No, thank God,” she told King, adding that he often reminds her, “You get older, but your spirit is younger.” Their chemistry is rooted in laughter and respect. “We laugh all the time, you know? I just love him,” she said with warmth.

That affection extends beyond romance. Cher has bonded with Edwards’ six-year-old son, Slash, and she couldn’t be happier. With a playful smile, she shared, “I used to say, ‘God, give me a toddler and a man,’” and now feels she got exactly what she wished for. Slash, she added, is “so funny, so smart, a delight.”

Cher Expands Her Passions Beyond Music

Beyond her love life, Cher continues to pursue creative passions. She spoke about her Cherlato brand of gelato, explaining that she personally tested flavors in her own kitchen. “We had, like, 10 chocolates,” she said, laughing as she described perfecting the recipes.

Even after decades of fame, Cher’s drive and authenticity still shine. She shared that she turns down many offers because she values honesty with her fans. “People feel that I wouldn’t lie to them,” she said. “I don’t ever want that to change.” For Cher, staying true to herself remains her sweetest success.
