The 40-Year Age Gap: How Cher and AE Defy Expectations
The 40-year age difference between Cher (who turned 79 in 2025 according to some reports) and Alexander Edwards (39) is the most discussed aspect of their relationship, a fact that both Cher and Edwards have openly addressed with humor and defiance.
Cher has a history of dating younger men, including relationships with Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise in the 1980s. She has consistently maintained that age is irrelevant to her, stating that she is having "the best time" with AE.
When questioned about the significant age disparity, Cher has been quoted saying, "We laugh all the time." She has openly challenged the public's fascination, suggesting that she is simply interested in somebody else's love life, and finds the curiosity surrounding their age difference amusing.
Their connection is reportedly built on a shared sense of humor, common interests, and a deep, genuine bond that transcends the number of years between them.

The love story of Cher and Alexander Edwards began with a brief, stylish encounter at a major industry event, proving that even a 15-minute meeting can change everything.
The Meet-Cute at Paris Fashion Week
Their initial encounter took place in October 2022 during Paris Fashion Week. Cher later revealed that they met "for about 15 minutes." The connection was clearly strong, as a mutual friend later facilitated the relationship by giving Edwards the singer's number.
A Whirlwind Romance and a Brief Split
The couple quickly became inseparable, making their first public appearances together shortly after. However, in May 2023, reports emerged that the couple had split. This separation was short-lived, and they reconciled just four months later in September 2023, demonstrating the resilience and commitment of their bond.
Current Status: Going Strong in 2025
As the relationship has matured, Cher and AE have continued to be a fixture at major events. Their joint appearance at the *Saturday Night Live* 50th Anniversary special in February 2025 solidified their status as a committed and current couple in the public eye.

The Truth Behind Cher and Alexander Edwards Marriage Rumors
The question of whether Cher will marry AE Edwards has become a recurring headline, particularly since the music icon received a massive diamond ring from him in late 2022. While the engagement rumors were initially denied, speculation has ramped up again in 2024 and 2025.
Multiple tabloid reports have suggested that Cher is indeed ready to walk down the aisle. One particularly persistent rumor suggests that Cher has "set her heart on walking down" the aisle and wants to celebrate her 80th birthday—which is in May 2026—by marrying Edwards.
The media frenzy surrounding their potential nuptials prompted Cher to address the rumors directly in 2024, clarifying the situation without completely dismissing the possibility of a future wedding. While no official date or announcement has been made, the continuous speculation and their undeniable chemistry suggest that a wedding could be on the horizon. For a woman who has lived her life on her own terms, from her early days with Sonny Bono to her solo superstardom, a surprise marriage to a man 40 years her junior would be the ultimate power move.
Ultimately, Cher and Alexander Edwards’ relationship is a testament to the belief that love is blind to age and societal expectations. Their enduring partnership, filled with laughter and public support, continues to fascinate the world, proving that Cher remains the ultimate rule-breaker in both her career and her personal life.
