Cher Says 40-Year Age Gap With Alexander “A.E.” Edwards is Non-Issue

by

Cher doesn’t need to turn back time and close the gap in her and Alexander “A.E.” Edwards’ ages.

Has the 40-year age difference caused any problems in their relationship?

Oh my gosh, you guys, I was watching the interview with Gayle King, and it was EVERYTHING! Apparently, when Gayle asked him how he was doing, he said, and I quote, ‘No, Thank God!’ Isn’t that amazing?! Then he told her the sweetest thing – he said you just get older, but your spirit stays young. Seriously, I’m obsessed with everything this man says. It’s just… pure wisdom!

Cher, who started dating the 39-year-old music producer in 2022, enthusiastically praised all of his wonderful qualities.

The singer, known for the song “Believe,” shared that she and her partner laugh constantly and that she’s completely in love with him. She also described him as a very handsome and incredibly gifted person, saying he’s one of the most talented individuals she’s ever known.

Honestly, all the talk about Cher and A.E.’s relationship doesn’t bother me at all. Cher always says they’re incredibly solid together and they just tune out anyone who has something negative to say, and I totally believe her. They’re so happy, and that’s all that matters!

She explained, “People don’t understand what our relationship is like. It’s private, but we have so much fun together.”

A particularly sweet part of her relationship with Alexander is how close she’s become with his and Amber Rose’s 6-year-old son, Slash.

“I used to say, ‘God, give me a toddler and a man,’ she explained. “All the time.”

Cher, who has two children – Chaz Bono, 56, with her former husband Sonny Bono, and Elijah Blue Allman, 49, with Gregg Allman – described Slash as “so funny, so smart, and just a delight.”

Cher and Alexander Edwards are still together, despite rumors to the contrary. In April, Cher’s representative denied reports that the couple had broken up, following photos of Alexander attending Coachella without her.

Honestly, before all the talk started, Cher was absolutely beaming about the surprise birthday party Alexander threw for her 78th! She really lit up talking about it – it was clearly a special moment for her.

Cher described Chateau Romanov as a ‘fabulous place’ and said their host was ‘very nice’ during a May 2024 interview with TopMob News. She called the overall experience ‘amazing’.

And with all the time the duo is spending together, Cher teased their upcoming collaboration.

She said they were planning to begin a new album. Although they haven’t started recording yet, he will be the producer.

For more stars who have been unapologetic about their age gap love, keep readings…

The actresses are used to people commenting on their 32-year age difference. Sarah addressed the criticism in a 2018 interview with Modern Luxury, saying she doesn’t worry about it. ‘If anyone chooses to judge me for loving a wonderful person, that’s their issue, not mine,’ she explained. ‘I’m happy with my relationship.’

Heidi Klum doesn’t pay attention to criticism about the 16-year age difference between herself and her husband, Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz. In a 2018 interview with InStyle, she explained that people often question their relationship because of their age gap, but she doesn’t dwell on it. Heidi, who married Tom the following year, believes in living life on her own terms and not worrying about what others think. She says that stressing over opinions will only make you age faster.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has pointed out what she sees as a double standard. She observed that people often comment on the age gap between her and her husband, Nick Jonas, but believes the reaction would be different if Nick were older than her. “We received a lot of criticism for that, and it still happens,” Priyanka told InStyle magazine. “It’s interesting because when the man is older, it’s often accepted or even praised.”

The director of Fifty Shades of Grey says the 23-year age difference between her and her partner, the actor from Kraven the Hunter, isn’t something they think about in their daily lives.

“It really doesn’t come up,” she explained in a 2024 interview with The Guardian. “It’s only discussed now because you’re asking about it. It’s mostly an observation from people who don’t know us. We’re a bit unusual, but after 14 years, you’d think it wouldn’t matter anymore.”

She even noted that her current relationship has lasted longer than her marriage to her ex-husband, Jay Jopling, who was only about four years older than her.

“When you look at it that way,” she added, “the age gap really doesn’t seem important.”

Despite sharing a birthday on September 25th, the couple experiences differences in their perspectives. The actress, who stars in Chicago, revealed in a 2021 interview with WSJ. Magazine that her husband is 25 years her senior. She emphasized that, like any relationship, they have their challenges, but love and respect remain constant.

Dennis, known for his role in The Parent Trap, believes that only he and his partner, Laura, should be concerned with their relationship. He emphasized this point, stating it’s a matter for just the two of them.

Despite the attention their 39-year age difference receives, Dennis says they don’t pay any mind to it.

In a 2021 interview with Today, he explained, “We’ve never connected with anyone better in our lives. Our relationship is fantastic. Love will always find a way, no matter what, and you can’t predict who you’ll fall in love with. We are incredibly happy together.”

The yoga instructor recently shared that she used to be critical of couples with large age differences, before she began dating an actor 26 years older than herself.

On her 2022 podcast, Witches Anonymous, she explained that she’d previously assume older men in such relationships were seeking someone with no independent thoughts, and younger partners were only interested in money. She described thinking they didn’t genuinely care and were simply after financial gain.

However, she now realizes she was wrong.

She admitted that being in this relationship herself has changed her perspective, making her question why she used to be so judgmental. She now understands that love can look different for everyone, and that doesn’t make it any less real or valid.

Get ready for this: actor Stanley Tucci, known from The Devil Wears Prada, recently revealed he almost broke up with his wife early in their relationship. He explained on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs in 2023, “I’m 21 years older than she is, and I didn’t want to feel old for the rest of my life!” However, he also knew she was someone truly special.

Sienna Miller and Oli Green aren’t surprised people find their relationship confusing. Oli explained to Vogue that their 15-year age difference might be hard for some to understand, but they’ve only experienced love and happiness together. Sienna added that, honestly, they don’t feel anyone needs to understand their connection. ‘You can’t force feelings or explain love,’ she said, ‘and I know I never could.’

I just love hearing stories about Jeff and Emilie! He was on Hoda’s show and shared this really cute moment. He asked Emilie, who’s 30 years younger than him, which Beatle he’d be. She immediately said ‘Rex Harrison’ – and it took her a second to realize she was actually thinking of the actor from My Fair Lady which they’d seen the day before, not George Harrison! It just goes to show you the difference in our generations sometimes. But he says, aside from those little mix-ups, things are going wonderfully for them. It’s so sweet to see them so happy together.

Honestly, I don’t feel any pressure to address negativity surrounding the age difference between me and my partner. It’s something I’ve thought about, and I truly believe connection goes so much deeper than numbers. As I shared with Glamour a while back, I’m really drawn to his wisdom and strength – qualities that often come with life experience. For me, it’s about a genuine connection that has nothing to do with age. Careers can be up and down, but having someone who wholeheartedly believes in you makes all the difference.

Katharine McPhee isn’t paying attention to criticism about the 35-year age difference between her and her husband. Speaking on the Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2023, she acknowledged people initially judged their relationship, but said, “Things are never as they appear.” Ultimately, she emphasized that she’s simply happy in love and that’s all that matters.

Kristin Cavallari addressed the criticism she received for dating someone 13 years younger, Mark Estes. On her podcast, Let’s Be Honest, she explained that she never actively sought out a relationship with a 24-year-old, and previously thought people in their thirties were too young for her. While she acknowledged how the relationship might appear to others, she maintained that Mark was mature for his age and that a person’s age doesn’t define them. She believes life experiences and upbringing are more important factors in determining maturity. However, she later revealed that she and Mark eventually broke up.

She explained on her podcast that she believes he needs to grow and experience life on his own, especially since his early twenties are such important years for self-discovery. While she considers their relationship the best she’s ever had, she hopes he’ll eventually understand why they broke up and even appreciate it in the long run. She expressed confidence that he’ll eventually look back and see it was the right decision, and even thank her for it.

When George Clooney first developed feelings for Amal, he wasn’t sure if she felt the same way. He admitted on The Howard Stern Show that he was hesitant to pursue things too quickly, unsure if she was interested. He worried his age – being 17 years older – might be a problem for her. Fortunately, Amal reciprocated his feelings, and the couple married in 2014.
