Cher, the legendary pop diva known for her timeless music, revealed that she prefers dating younger men because they are more confident and approachable. In a recent interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Cher talked about why men her age or older are not in her dating pool.
According to Cher, men her age or older are either “terrified” or “resting in their graves.” She explained that younger men are bolder and more likely to make a move. “They are raised by women like me,” Cher added with a laugh.
Cher’s preference for dating younger men has sparked interest in her love life. During the interview, she was asked if she ever turned down Elvis Presley. Cher admitted that she did, citing her shyness and nervousness around men. In response, Jennifer Hudson, the show’s host, expressed disbelief, saying she would never turn down Elvis.
Cher’s current boyfriend is Alexander “AE” Edwards, a 38-year-old music producer. Their relationship made headlines in November 2022 when they were first seen holding hands. Despite the significant age difference, Cher described Edwards as kind, smart, talented, and handsome.
Cher’s romantic history includes other high-profile relationships with younger men, such as Tom Cruise and Rob Camilletti. Despite the criticism that Leonardo DiCaprio often faces for dating younger women, Cher’s dating choices have been praised and celebrated.
Cher’s openness about her preference for dating younger men challenges societal norms and shows that love knows no age boundaries. As long as both parties are consenting adults, age should not be a barrier to finding happiness and companionship. Cher’s empowering message serves as a reminder that love is love, regardless of age.
