Cher and her much younger boyfriend, Alexander “AE” Edwards, are showing no signs of slowing down. The singer, 79, has been dating the 39-year-old music executive since 2022, and their most recent public appearance proves their relationship is still thriving.
After attending multiple high-profile events together over the past three years, the couple looked closer than ever during a recent night out at Valentino’s beauty event after-party at Studio 54 in New York City. Cher told Vogue at the party, “As I was walking in, it was as if I had never left. It felt f**king fabulous.”

On her latest night out, Cher was described as staying close to Edwards throughout much of the evening.

On The Kelly Clarkson Show in December 2022, she said, “On paper, it’s ridiculous. But in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous, and I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.”
She has also described Edwards as “very kind, very smart, very talented, and really funny.” Edwards, father of five-year-old son Slash with ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, has become integrated into Cher’s wider circle.
