Cher, 79, Reportedly Planning to Marry Boyfriend Alexander Edwards Before Her 80th Birthday
Music legend Cher is said to be preparing for her third walk down the aisle, with insiders revealing plans to wed her boyfriend of three years, Alexander "AE" Edwards, ahead of her milestone 80th birthday in May. The 79-year-old icon, known for her timeless hits and unapologetic spirit, appears undeterred by the couple's 40-year age gap, viewing the union as the perfect capstone to her next chapter.
According to reports from *The Mirror*, Cher has "set her heart on walking down the aisle with him around the time of her landmark birthday." Sources close to the pair emphasize that both are "fully ready to commit to each other," with Cher dismissing any concerns over their age difference. "She doesn’t give a hoot about their [40-year] age gap," one insider told the outlet, adding that she sees turning 80 as "the perfect time" to "seal the deal."
The relationship, which began in late 2022, has been a source of public fascination—and occasional scrutiny—due to the stark generational divide. Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946, has long defied conventions, from her boundary-breaking performances to her high-profile romances. Edwards, a 39-year-old music executive and father to a 6-year-old son from a previous relationship with model Amber Rose, has brought a fresh energy to her life. The couple shares a close bond with Edwards' son, whom Cher has affectionately referred to as part of their blended family.
In a November interview on *CBS Mornings*, Cher addressed the age-gap criticism with her signature candor. "Whatever," she quipped, before elaborating: "Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast." She praised Edwards as "beautiful" and "really talented," noting his frequent reminder that "your spirit is younger." Their creative synergy is evident in Edwards' production contributions to Cher's 2023 holiday album *Christmas*, her first collection of original material in over a decade, including the track "Drop Top Sleigh Ride."
This potential marriage would mark Cher's third, following unions with Sonny Bono (1964–1975), with whom she shares a son, and musician Gregg Allman (1975–1979), the father of her second son. Nearly 50 years after her last divorce, the news underscores Cher's enduring philosophy on love: "Love doesn't understand age," as one report aptly summarized.
