Cher ‘having a lot of fun’ with rapper despite 40-year age gap

Cher has opened up about her relationship with AE Edwards, saying she was “having a lot of fun” despite their 40-year age difference.

Cher dismissed public judgment and praised her relationship with Alexander “AE” Edwards when she sat down with Gayle King on the CBS morning show, where the music legend promoted her latest business venture, an ice cream line.

The 79-year-old icon, who turns 80 next May, has not shied away from discussing her three-year romance with the 39-year-old hip-hop executive. When asked about their relationship, Cher couldn’t be happier.

“We were laughing the whole time, you know? I just loved him,” she said. “I think he’s beautiful. He’s really talented. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.”

Critics have long questioned the couple’s 40-year age gap, but the “Believe” singer made it clear she won’t lose sleep over anyone’s opinion.

“No matter what,” she said bluntly. “They didn’t live my life. No one knew what happened between us, but we just had a great time.”

Cher also spoke passionately about spending time with Edwards’ six-year-old son, whom she shares with Amber Rose, calling the child “smart, funny” and a “delight.”

“I often say, ‘God, give me a child and a man,'” she added. She joked that was “exactly” what she got.

This isn’t the first time Cher has addressed the age gap issue. On The Kelly Clarkson Show in December 2022, she acknowledged the difference but denied it.

“Well, on paper, it’s kind of ridiculous,” she said. “But in real life, we get along great. He’s great and I don’t give men qualities they don’t deserve.”

Cher’s new ice cream line was the original reason for the CBS interview, but her relationship with Edwards took center stage, proving once again that the pop legend is unapologetically living life on her own terms.
