American singer, actress, and television personality Cher, who has had two marriages in the past, publicly acknowledged her relationship in 2022 with music producer Alexander Edwards, who is 40 years her junior. Their romance has remained stable ever since. Recently, rumors surfaced that Cher has decided to marry Alexander, and the pair are planning to tie the knot on her 80th birthday next year.
According to a report by The Mirror, a source revealed that Cher is completely unfazed by the 38-year age gap with her boyfriend and is already preparing to make a commitment, saying, "She is set on walking down the aisle with him around this milestone birthday. She believes her upcoming 80th birthday is the perfect opportunity for her and Alexander to make their marriage official." However, neither Cher nor Alexander has responded publicly to the news.
Cher has previously stated that she is actually very shy in private. When Alexander pursued her ardently, she felt quite nervous. Since Alexander has a reputation for being a ladies' man, she once even told friends: "Don’t fall in love with young men. We are old, and don’t let a few flirtatious text messages make you lose your head." Yet, she was still swept away. In response to online criticism calling their relationship a "mother-son romance," Cher quipped that all men her age or older "are dead," and added, "They (men my age) always misunderstand me, thinking I'm too aloof to approach."
