'She and AE have something very special going on'
The first rumors of Cher and Edwards' romance surfaced when they went hand-in-hand to dinner at celebrity hotspot Craig's last November. Alexander "AE" Edwards gave Cher a tender kiss on the hand as they sat close together in the back seat of the waiting car after dinner.
A source told Us Weekly at the time, "Cher knows full well that there’s a lot of skepticism about this romance but she couldn’t care less. She’s reveling in the attention and saying that she and AE have something very special going on that’s made her feel more alive and sexier than ever." "She’s always been drawn to younger guys, and this is by no means the first fun, no strings attached fling she’s had in recent years. The difference here is that this one feels special, which is why she felt confident to go public as a couple," the insider continued.
Cher is twice divorced and has 2 sons
In 2019, Edwards and his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose welcomed a boy named Slash Electric Alexander Edwards. The two split in 2021 after his alleged affairs, although they continue to have a cordial co-parenting arrangement. Cher is twice divorced and has a 53-year-old son Chaz Bono with her late ex-husband Sonny Bono, who crashed into a tree while skiing and died in 1998 at the age of 62. She was then married to singer Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1978 before he died in 2017 at the age of 69. Cher and Gregg had a son together named Elijah Blue Allman, who is now 46 years old.
