NEWSCher's Costar Alan Cumming Reacts To Singer's Startling Age Gap With Boyfriend Alexander Edwards: 'I'm All For Her Getting Some Action'
Cher’s costar Alan Cumming is supportive of the pop icon’s relationship with Alexander Edwards — regardless of the 40-year age difference.
On Thursday, February 23, Cumming voiced his approval of the couple on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
"I haven't spoken to Cher for a while, actually, but I love her, and I'm all for her getting some action," the actor said.
Cher and Cumming starred in Burlesque together in 2010.
The goddess of pop and the Def Jam music executive met at Paris Fashion Week in November, and the pair have been dating ever since.
Cher was previously married to Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman, the musician also dated famous names like Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer.
Edwards was previously in a relationship with Amber Rose, and the couple share a son.
In late December, the Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves singer sparked engagement rumors between her and the 37-year-old. The 76-year-old tweeted a photo Edwards holding a huge diamond ring with the caption, "THERE R NO WORDS, ALEXANDER, A.E."
However, the actress quickly squashed the rumors when she reposted the snap with the message, "I posted this cause his nails are so cool."
Cher has received lots of hate due to the couples' age difference, even addressing the controversy on Twitter.
