Cher, 78, Reveals Age-Gap Issue With Boyfriend A.E. Edwards, 38: ‘Sometimes He Has No Idea What I’m Talking About’

Cher, the iconic singer and actress, has always been known for her bold choices and fearless approach to life. Recently, the 78-year-old legend has opened up about the realities of dating someone 40 years her junior. In a candid interview, Cher shared insights into her relationship with 38-year-old music producer Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, touching on the joys and challenges that come with their significant age gap.

Last month, Cher confirmed her relationship with Edwards, a music producer known for his work in the industry. Despite the age difference, Cher expressed how happy she is with Edwards, describing their connection as both genuine and fulfilling. “I hate to talk about how happy I am, but no, we have a great time,” she told Extra. “We can talk music. We can talk about everything. He’s got a great sense of humor, he’s got the cutest son in the world… We just get each other.”

Cher’s revelations about her relationship highlight the unique dynamics of dating someone from a different generation. One of the primary challenges she mentioned is the occasional communication barrier that arises due to their age difference. “Sometimes I’m talking to him and he has no idea who I’m talking about,” Cher 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.’”

Despite these occasional moments of disconnect, Cher emphasized that the positives far outweigh the negatives. The couple met at a Paris Fashion Week event in 2022, and after a brief split in May, they rekindled their relationship in September. Their bond appears to be stronger than ever, with Cher appreciating the joy and companionship that Edwards brings into her life.

Cher also recently faced a different kind of personal challenge. She denied allegations from her daughter-in-law that she had kidnapped her son, Elijah Blue Allman, to put him in rehab. These accusations were part of a court filing that brought Cher’s family life into the public eye. Despite these difficulties, Cher continues to focus on her happiness and her relationship with Edwards, demonstrating her resilience and determination to live life on her own terms.

As Cher navigates this new chapter of her life, she remains an inspiring figure, proving that love and happiness can be found at any age. Her openness about the age-gap issues with Edwards offers a glimpse into the complexities of their relationship, while also highlighting the strength of their bond. With her characteristic candor and humor, Cher continues to captivate audiences, reminding us all that age is just a number when it comes to matters of the heart.
