Cher Is Proud of Her Relationship
Cher isn’t bothered by her 40-year age gap with Alexander 'AE' Edwards.
Cher said she is proud that their relationship is filled with laughter — and she's thankful for Edwards’ 6-year-old son, Slash, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose.
“I just love him,” she gushed. “I think he’s beautiful. He’s really talented. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met,” she said. I used to say, ‘God, give me a toddler and a man and I got exactly what I wanted. [Slash is] so funny. He’s so smart. He’s a delight.”
An insider told Us Weekly that Cher is fully aware of the criticism of her unconventional relationship, but she doesn't let it bother her.
Cher Is Aware of the Haters
Cher could care less about the 'skepticism' surrounding her relationship.
“She knows full well there’s a lot of skepticism about this romance, but she couldn’t care less,” the source said. “She’s reveling in the attention and saying that she and A.E. have something very special going on that’s made her feel more alive and sexier than ever.”
Earlier this year, another source revealed the couple might be ready to take another big step in their relationship.
“Cher and A.E. have had some bumps along the way, but the past year they have been solid as a rock,” the insider shared.
Even though Cher holds a dominant role in their relationship, she appreciates “an old-school romantic” who believes “the man has to propose.”
