Cher addresses 40-year age gap with boyfriend Alexander Edwards

Iconic singer Cher has spoken out and made some rare comments about her relationship with her much-younger partner, Alexander Edwards.

The Believe hitmaker, 77, said that her 40-year-age gap with music executive Edwards, 37, only comes into play when they talk about certain topics.

Cher told Extra TV this week that sometimes Edwards doesn’t know who or what she’s referring to because of his age, saying: “He’ll look at me and go, ‘I wasn’t born yet.'”

“Sometimes I’m talking to him and he has no idea who I’m talking about,” Cher said.

“The other day, I said, ‘Do you know who, I don’t know, Clark Gable, [is]?’ Somebody said, ‘Yes, of course,’ but most of my references… He’ll look at me and go, ‘I wasn’t born yet.'”

But she added that the pair genuinely get on well and “just get each other”.

“I hate to talk about how happy I am, but no, we have a great time together. We can talk music. We can talk about everything. He’s a got a great sense of humour, he’s got the cutest son in the world, ever… We just get each other,” she said.

She recently spoke about their romance with fans on X, previously known as Twitter, saying: “We’re grown ups, we’re happy.”

She replied to fans on a photo she shared of Edwards posing in his underwear.

”He’s kind, smart, hilarious and we [kiss] like teenagers,” she said after one fan asked what her favourite thing about Edwards is.

“On paper This Looks strange (Even 2 ME) A.E Says ❤️ Doesn’t Know Math,” she wrote in a separate message.

She also opened up about how their relationship began, replying to a fan with: ”In the end he came after me, till we met in the middle.”

“He’s Consistent one, I’m The Skittish one. We love each other…. LADIES NEVER GIVE UP,” she said.

Edwards previously dated Kanye West’s ex, Amber Rose, who he shares a son with. 

Cher and Edwards first met at Paris Fashion Week in September last year.

Cher, meanwhile, was previously married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975, and she later went on to wed Gregg Allman in 1975. The couple split in 1979.

The songstress shares 53-year-old son Chaz with Bono, and 46-year-old son Elijah with Allman.
