Age is just a number, but Cher’s boyfriend, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, might sometimes need a history lesson when it comes to the pop icon’s references. Cher, 77, shared in a recent interview what it’s like to be dating someone 40 years younger.

She explained, “Sometimes I’m talking to him, and he has no idea who I’m talking about… The other day, I said, ‘Do you know who, I don’t know, Clark Gable, [is]?’ Somebody said, ‘Yes, of course,’ but most of my references… He’ll look at me and go, ‘I wasn’t born yet.’“

Despite these occasional missed connections, Cher and A.E. Edwards seem to be a great match. Cher praised her boyfriend, saying, “We have a great time together.”

The “Believe”singer recalled that she and Edwards“can talk music. We can talk about everything. He’s got a great sense of humor. He’s got the cutest son in the world, ever… We just get each other.”

How Cher and A.E.’s romance started

Cher and A.E. Edwards, a music producer, have been publicly dating since late 2022, with their relationship sparking rumors when they were seen holding hands.

Although the age gap might raise eyebrows, the celebrity couple appears to be enjoying each other’s company and proving that age is no barrier to happiness.

Cher is known for her fierce individuality and unique style, and her relationship with Edwards is no exception.

I hate to talk about how happy I am, but no, we have a great time together.
