A couple of months ago the Believe singer announced that she was dating the music producer and couldn't be happier. Speaking about their 40-year age difference, she responded to a fan on Twitter saying, “Love doesn’t know math.” She went on to state a lesson she learned from Sogyal Rinpoche, the late Tibetan Buddhist teacher and best-selling author who died in 2019. "Rinpoche told me, 'Some people meet, others recognize,' " Cher wrote. She also admitted that it was Edwards who started their romance. "He’s 36 & In End, He Came after me, Till we met in the middle. He’s the Consistent one, I’m The Skittish one. We love each other…. LADIES NEVER GIVE UP," she explained in a tweet. Edwards previously dated model and TV personality Amber Rose, and the two share a 3-year-old son Slash.

Cher has dated younger men in the past including Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, and Rob Camilletti, all of whom are over a decade younger. Cher has been married twice as well. First with ex-husband Sonny Bono, who died in 1998. They were married from 1964 to 1975. Later she tied with knot with singer Gregg Allman in 1975. They were married until 1979. He passed away in 2017. Cher and Alexander met during Paris Fashion Week back in September.
The Moonstruck actress gushed about their relationship while appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this month. "On paper it’s kind of ridiculous but in real life we get along great," she told Clarkson. "He’s fabulous, and I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve. But he’s very kind, he’s very smart. He’s very talented and he’s really funny so, and I think he’s quite handsome," she added. She also said that if she had not met younger men she would never have "had a date" as older men didn’t like her much. "Younger men don’t care if you’re, you know, funny or outrageous and want to do stupid things and you have a strong personality. I’m not giving up my personality for anybody," she said.
