Is Cher Marrying Boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards? The Truth

by

Don’t believe everything you hear about Cher.

Rumors about a possible wedding between the 79-year-old singer and her boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, 39, have been confirmed as false.

Cher’s rep told The Gossip List, “There is absolutely no plans for a wedding in her future.”

The singer is currently working on several projects, including a performance on Saturday Night Live with Ariana Grande on December 20th. Despite her busy schedule, she still clearly cares for her partner, whom she first met at Paris Fashion Week in 2022. She described him as “fabulous” when they met.

Cher admitted on The Kelly Clarkson Show in December 2022 that their situation might seem strange, but they actually have a good relationship in person.

She described the music executive, who’s worked with both Universal Music Group and Sony Music Publishing, as a kind, intelligent, and talented person with a great sense of humor. She also thought he was attractive.

Before dating Cher, AE was with Amber Rose for three years, and they have a 6-year-old son named Slash. Their relationship ended badly after Rose publicly accused him of cheating on her with twelve other women, a claim he later confirmed. Despite this past drama, Cher is now looking forward to their future together.

Cher shared with Gayle King on CBS Mornings in November that she’s very fond of him and finds him attractive. She emphasized that their connection is private and they genuinely enjoy each other’s company.

You know, as someone who’s observed a lot of families, I think it’s beautiful when people find joy in every stage of life. I recently heard a singer – you might know her, she’s famous for ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ – talk about how having a child feels like an extra gift. She used to say she wanted both a young child and a partner – that really resonated with me! It’s a lovely way to look at it, isn’t it? Like finding happiness in all forms of love and companionship.

Cher also pointed out that the age difference between them hasn’t been a problem, explaining that her partner often says, ‘You stay young at heart as you get older.’

It’s impossible to relive the past, but here’s what celebrities have shared about navigating and accepting age differences in their relationships.

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, “If anyone wants to judge me for loving a wonderful person, that’s their issue, not mine. I’m happy.”

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 due to their age gap, but she doesn’t dwell on it. She made it clear she intends to live life as she chooses. The supermodel added that focusing on what others think is pointless and will only cause unnecessary stress.

Priyanka Chopra has pointed out what she sees as a double standard. She observed that people often criticize the age gap between her and her husband, but wouldn’t react the same way if the roles were reversed. In an interview with InStyle, she explained, “We got a lot of criticism for that, and still do. It’s interesting because when it’s the man who’s older, nobody seems to mind—in fact, people often find it appealing.”

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

“It really doesn’t,” she explained in a 2024 interview with The Guardian. “It only comes up when people ask about it, or from the perspective of those who don’t know us. We’re a bit unusual, but after 14 years, you’d think it wouldn’t matter anymore.”

She even pointed out that her relationship with her current partner has lasted longer than her marriage to her ex-husband, 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 to be a factor.”

Despite sharing a birthday on September 25th, the couple experiences typical relationship challenges. The actress, who starred 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 moments, but love and respect remain constant.

Dennis, known from The Parent Trap, suggests that only he and his partner should be concerned with their relationship. He emphasizes that it’s their business, and nothing else matters.

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 they have an incredibly strong connection. He believes love is unpredictable and can happen with anyone, and they are simply very happy together.

The yoga instructor recently revealed 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 her former mindset as harshly judgmental.

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 critical of others simply finding love. 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 shared that he almost broke up with his wife early in their relationship. He explained on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs in 2023 that he was 21 years older than her and worried about feeling old. However, he quickly realized she was someone truly special.

Sienna Miller and Oli Green aren’t surprised that some people find their relationship confusing. Oli explained to Vogue that their 15-year age difference might be hard for others to understand, but their connection has been filled with love and happiness. Sienna added that they don’t feel anyone needs to understand their relationship, saying that matters of the heart can’t be forced or explained.

Jeff Goldblum shared a funny story about his wife, Emilie, who is 30 years younger than him. He was on The Hoda Show and recounted asking her, “If I were a Beatle, which one would I be?” Emilie jokingly replied, “Rex Harrison,” confusing him since they’d recently seen My Fair Lady. Jeff quickly pointed out she was thinking of the actor, not a Beatle. He added that she soon realized she meant George Harrison. He laughed, noting this kind of generational difference is typical for them, but overall, things are going well in their relationship.

She also doesn’t feel pressured to defend their 20-year age difference to anyone who criticizes it.

In a 2013 interview with Glamour, she explained that she finds his experience and character very appealing. “It’s about a deeper connection than age,” she said. “Careers can be fleeting, but having someone who truly believes in you makes all the difference.”

Katharine McPhee doesn’t seem bothered by criticism of the 35-year age difference between her and her husband. Speaking on the Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2023, she acknowledged people’s initial reactions but said, “Things are never as they appear.” Ultimately, she emphasized that she’s simply happy in her relationship and that’s what’s most important.

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 intentionally sought out a relationship with a 24-year-old, and previously thought anyone around 30 was too young for her. She acknowledged how the relationship might appear to others, but emphasized that Mark wasn’t like most people his age, and that maturity isn’t solely determined by age. She believes life experiences and upbringing are more important than just a number. However, she later revealed that she and Mark eventually broke up.

She explained on her podcast that she believes her partner needs to grow and experience life on his own. She feels those young adult years are incredibly important for self-discovery, and she’s already seen how much can change in that time. Despite this, she considers their relationship the best she’s ever had and hopes he’ll eventually see that the breakup was the right thing. She even believes he’ll one day understand and appreciate her decision.

When George Clooney first developed feelings for Amal, he wasn’t sure if she felt the same way. He worried about making a premature move, telling Howard Stern he wasn’t sure if she was interested, especially given their age difference – he’s 17 years older than her and wondered if she’d see him as too old. Luckily, Amal felt the same way, and the couple married in 2014.

The former Bachelor contestant, who is 18 years older than his wife, believes age is just a number. He recently shared on his The Viall Files podcast in March 2025 that physical attraction is important when there’s a significant age difference between partners.
