What Cher Said About Her Dating Preference

As mentioned, Cher sat for a 1-on-1 with Jennifer Hudson and spilled the tea about her non-traditional love life! She first spoke about turning down Elvis Presley because she felt “nervous,” by his reputation. The singer admitted to being “shy…around men” outside of her work, which collected awards for over three decades. Then, that conversation led to the type of men she likes to date.

“That’s why reason I got with young men. Men my age or older, well now they’re all dead, but before, they were always terrified to approach me. And younger men were the only ones that…”

She then agreed with Jennifer that they’re “bold,” adding “Raised by women like me.”

Who Is Her Man Now?

Most recently, Cher has been romantically linked to music executive Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards since 2022. They’re 40 years apart, and the singer will be celebrating her 78th birthday come May 20th!

In October, she told PEOPLE that AE is a “beautiful man” whom she’s been having the “best time” with.

“No matter what happens, I love being with him. He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that its never too late. If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, Well, this is doomed. But weve been together a year, and if it was just a year, it wouldve been worth it. Ive had the best time,” Cher said.

Rose clarified that she’s not concerned with who AE is sleeping with as long as he’s “a present father.”
