Have you ever wondered why the legendary Cher seems to gravitate towards younger men? Well, the timeless star has a simple and relatable reason. During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the 77-year-old entertainer shared the real motive behind her choice of romantic partners.
Cher admitted that she tends to be “really shy” around men, especially when she’s not working with them. However, it was her next statement that shed light on her preference for younger companions. “And the reason I go out with young men is because men my age are older — well, now they’re all dead — but before, they were always terrified to approach me. And younger men were the only ones that…,” she said, pausing as Jennifer Hudson completed her thought by interjecting, “They’re bold.”
Cher agreed, adding, “Yeah, raised by women like me.” It seems that her experiences have shown her that younger men are more confident and willing to take the first step in pursuing a relationship.
Cher’s explanation comes after her highly publicized relationship with Alexander “AE” Edwards, who is 40 years her junior. Despite the attention from fans and the media, Cher remains unapologetic. When asked about Edwards’ potential motives, Cher responded with a bold statement, “Let Me Explain… I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.”
It’s 2024, and we believe that individuals should be free to love whomever they choose without having to justify their choices. As long as it doesn’t harm anyone, let people love who they love.
