At the age of 77, music icon Cher has found herself in a whirlwind romance with Alexander Edwards, a music producer who is 40 years her junior. While some may be quick to judge their age difference, Cher is unbothered and takes to social media to respond to critics, stating, “Love doesn’t know math.”
Cher first confirmed her relationship with Edwards on Twitter, simply sharing a photo with the caption “Alexander ❤️.” When questioned if Edwards was her new man, she responded with a smiling emoji. The couple made their first public appearance together at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023.
In an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Cher candidly admitted that their relationship may seem “ridiculous” on paper, but in reality, they share a deep connection and get along great. Edwards, a music executive at Universal Music Group, has had his share of famous relationships, including a previous romance with Amber Rose, with whom he shares a son.
Despite the speculation surrounding an engagement, Cher clarified that they are not planning to get married at this time. However, Edwards did gift her a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas, symbolizing their commitment to each other. The legendary singer expressed her gratitude on Twitter, saying, “THERE R NO WORDS.”
Their love story goes beyond romance. Cher and Edwards also collaborated on a song for Edwards’s holiday album, released in October 2023. The multi-talented Edwards, known for his work with artists like Tyga, brings out the best in Cher and supports her during difficult times, such as the recent passing of her mother.
Cher’s journey with younger men is not new. In the 1980s, she dated men younger than her, defying societal norms. She shared, “Younger men weren’t intimidated by older women. But older men in my age category, they weren’t having it.” With Edwards, Cher has learned that it’s never too late to find love and happiness. Their relationship has brought her joy and laughter, and she cherishes every moment with him.
As the whirlwind romance continues to unfold, one thing is clear: age is just a number for Cher and Edwards. Their love story reminds us that true love can be found in unexpected places, regardless of age. So let’s celebrate this newfound happiness and share the joy with fellow Cher fans!
