Iconic singer and actress Cher is reportedly preparing to marry her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, nearly five decades after the conclusion of her second marriage.
The pair are said to be planning the ceremony ahead of Cher’s milestone 80th birthday in May.
An insider told the Mirror that Cher is unconcerned about their 40-year age difference and that both are committed to taking the next step in their relationship. “Cher doesn’t give a hoot about their age gap, and they’re both ready to commit to each other,” the source said.
The same insider added that Cher views her 80th birthday as an ideal occasion to formalize their bond. “She sees this upcoming celebration as the perfect time for them to seal the deal,” the source noted.
Representatives for both Cher and Edwards did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Page Six.
Cher, known for hits such as “If I Could Turn Back Time” and “Believe,” previously addressed criticism over their age difference during a November appearance on CBS Mornings.
“Whatever,” she told interviewer Gayle King, responding to those who questioned the relationship. “They’re not living my life. Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast.”
The singer further revealed that age has not been an issue for Edwards, who has reassured her, saying: “You know, you get older, but your spirit is younger.”
Reflecting on their three-year romance, Cher shared that the couple enjoys frequent laughter and lighthearted moments together. “I just love him,” she said. “I think he’s beautiful. He’s really talented. He’s one of the most talented persons I’ve ever met.”
Cher and Edwards were first romantically linked in November 2022 after being spotted holding hands in Los Angeles, marking the beginning of their public relationship.
The singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to address online criticism, responding to a follower during an online Q&A session: “Let Me Explain…I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS. I’m Not Defending Us. Haters are Gonna Hate…Doesn’t Matter That we’re Happy & Not Bothering Anyone.”
The pair made their red carpet debut as a couple in March 2023, displaying affection during the Versace Fall fashion show.
Prior to her relationship with Edwards, Cher’s romantic history includes two marriages and several high-profile relationships. She was married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975 and to Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1979.
Cher has also dated actors and musicians including Val Kilmer, Gene Simmons, and Tom Cruise.
Throughout her decades-long career, Cher has remained a cultural icon, consistently making headlines for both her artistry and personal life.
Insiders say that Cher and Edwards are focused on their shared happiness rather than external criticism, highlighting the couple’s dedication to one another.
As Cher approaches her 80th birthday, the singer appears poised to embrace this new chapter in her personal life, celebrating her milestone with a wedding to Edwards.
The couple’s relationship continues to attract attention, with fans eagerly awaiting further details about the wedding plans and how Cher intends to mark this significant life event.
Cher’s enduring career, combined with her high-profile relationships and now her upcoming marriage, ensures she remains a prominent figure in entertainment news worldwide.
