Despite their 40-year age difference, the couple appears deeply connected. Those close to them say Cher and Edwards are ready to make a lifelong commitment, and with her milestone birthday approaching, a wedding could be just around the corner. Their relationship is described as joyful, grounded, and full of affection.
The romance first caught public attention in November 2022 when Cher and Edwards were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles. Their connection became even more visible when they made a red carpet debut at the Versace Fall 2023 fashion show, where their affectionate display left little doubt about the seriousness of their bond.
Cher has spoken openly about how special this relationship is. She shares that they “laugh all the time” and admires Edwards’ talent and spirit. “I just love him. He’s beautiful. He’s really talented. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met,” she said. She also appreciates how he makes age feel irrelevant, often reminding her, “You get older, but your spirit is younger.”
Addressing public criticism of their age gap, Cher shrugged it off with her signature confidence. During a CBS Mornings interview, she said, “Whatever. They’re not living my life. Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast.”
This will be Cher’s third marriage. She was previously married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975 and to Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1979. Over the years, she’s also been linked to high-profile figures including Val Kilmer, Gene Simmons, and Tom Cruise. Her relationship with Edwards marks a joyful, new chapter in her long history of love stories.
Cher’s journey through life and love has always been extraordinary, and now, with Alexander, she’s writing a beautiful new chapter. As she nears 80, it’s clear that love knows no age, and joy can always be found in the company of someone who truly sees you
