Cher is reportedly set to marry her boyfriend, Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards, ahead of her 80th birthday in May 2026. Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards is a record executive and 40 years her junior at just 39 years old. The 39-year-old works for Universal Music Group and started dating Cher in 2022.

Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards has also worked for Tyga’s Last King Records label as a producer. Edwards and Tyga reportedly have a close relationship. Before dating Cher, Edwards was involved with Amber Rose, actress, model, and founder of the SlutWalk movement, which aims to stop the demeaning of women across nations, including rape culture.

As per The Mirror UK, the singer reportedly wants to marry him ahead of her 80th birthday as she sees it as the perfect time for it. The publication quoted an insider regarding this, which is here quoted via Daily Mail’s article on the matter:

"She has set her heart on walking down the aisle with him around the time of her landmark birthday in May,'"

Cher’s representatives, however, have stated to Page Six that the marriage rumours are just that, rumours, and have dismissed them. As of the writing of this article, Cher herself has not responded to the rumours publicly.

The singer has been previously married twice, including Gregg Allman and Sonny Bono. She was married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975, and then to Allman from 1975 to 1979.


Cher spoke about her relationship with Edwards back in 2022 with Kelly Clarkson back in 2022

Back in 2022, the singer talked about her relationship with Edwards in an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. When asked about her relationship, she stated:

"On paper, it's kind of ridiculous. But in real life, we get along great. He's fabulous. And I don't give men qualities that they don't deserve. But he is very kind, very smart, he is very talented, and he is really funny. So, and I think he's quite handsome."

Amber Rose, Edwards’ ex, has also come out in support of her ex’s relationship with Cher in the past. Rose stated in an appearance on The Jason Lee Podcast that she was happy that her son Slash has a stable atmosphere when visiting Edwards:

"I’m very happy that he’s with Cher because it creates stability for when [our] son goes over there. That it’s not all mayhem and stuff."

The singer and Edwards first met at Paris Fashion Week in 2022. In that same year, in November 2022, the two were spotted holding hands. In 2023, the singer revealed to People that she was given Edwards’ number by a friend:

"Alexander’s got diamond teeth, tattoos, white hair, and he’s way younger. He’s a beautiful man. Also, I think it’s fun to be interested in somebody else’s love life. It was really shocking, because people just don’t give out my number. I had been telling all my friends, ‘We’re too old to go out with really younger men, and I will never fall in love on text.’ So I did what I said not to do!"

The two have since then been going strong, showing up for each other at various events and showing their love for each other publicly, despite a rumoured split in 2023 that has since been put to rest.
