At 77, Cher continues to captivate not just with her timeless hits but with her vibrant love life, particularly her penchant for younger men. The legendary singer recently opened up about why she often dates men significantly younger than herself, revealing personal insights into her dating dynamics, PageSix reports.
Cher's Candid Revelations
During an engaging conversation on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Cher candidly shared that her preference for younger partners stems partly from a certain shyness around men her age and older. “I'm really shy when I'm not working and kind of shy around men,” she confessed. Cher further explained that men closer to her age have historically been too intimidated to approach her. “And the reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older — well, now they’re all dead — but before they just never, they were always terrified to approach me,” she continued. Younger men, however, did not seem to share this apprehension and were often the only ones bold enough to make a move.
This revelation came amidst a heart-to-heart with Hudson where Cher also reminisced about some of the high-profile opportunities for romance she passed up, including a date with Elvis Presley. She attributed her decision to nerves and the intimidating reputation of the people around him. Despite her adventurous love life, moments like these show that even icons like Cher have their vulnerabilities.
A Life of High-Profile Romances
Cher's romantic history reads like a who's who of Hollywood and the music industry. From her high-profile marriages to Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman to relationships with other celebrities like Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, Cher has never been far from the spotlight. Her current relationship with music producer Alexander “AE” Edwards, who is 39 years her junior, is no exception. The couple met in an unconventional yet charming way at Paris Fashion Week in 2022 when Cher complimented Edwards on his grill, which turned out to be his actual teeth.
Despite a brief breakup in May 2023, the couple fueled rumors of a reunion by September when they were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles. Cher has consistently defended their relationship against critics of their 40-year age gap. On Twitter, she clapped back at the naysayers with her trademark sass: “haven’t You Got Anything Else 2 Do?! Let Me Explain…I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.”
Her enduring allure and outspoken nature continue to endear her to fans worldwide, underscoring her status as a fearless and iconic figure in both her professional and personal lives. Whether discussing past loves or current flames, Cher brings honesty and flair to the conversation, reminding us why she remains a beloved figure in the entertainment world.
