Cher, 77, Reveals Age-Gap Issue With Boyfriend A.E. Edwards, 37: ‘Sometimes He Has No Idea What I’m Talking About’

Cher has opened up about the realities of dating someone with a 40-year age gap.

Last month, the singer, 77, confirmed her relationship with 37-year-old music producer, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards.

“I hate to talk about how happy I am, but no, we have a great time,” Cher told Extra.

“We can talk music. We can talk about everything,” she gushed. “He’s got a great sense of humor, he’s got the cutest son in the world… We just get each other.”

Cher also acknowledged the barriers that come with dating outside of one’s age bracket.

“Sometimes I’m talking to him and he has no idea who I’m talking about,” she explained. “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.'”

The pair met at a Paris Fashion Week event in 2022. They rekindled their relationship in September after reporters of a split in May.

Cher recently denied that she kidnapped her son, Elijah Blue Allman, in order to put him in a rehab after being accused by her daughter-in-law of abducting him in a court filing.
