Cher, aged 78, stated that she loves younger men because men her age or older have passed away.
The “Believe” singer conversed with Jennifer Hudson on Wednesday’s podcast episode. In the interview, Cher explains why she likes to date younger men.
She explained: “I’m really shy when I’m not working and kind of shy around men, and the reason I got with young men is because men my age are older.”
“Well, now they’re all dead, but before, they were always terrified to approach me, and younger men were the only ones.”
Jennifer Hudson confirmed that young men are now bolder, and Cher agreed.
Cher is currently dating music producer Alexander Edwards, who is 40 years her junior.
The 4X-generation singer met the 8X-year-old at the Paris Fashion Week in autumn 2022, and they fell for each other immediately.
Cher described her boyfriend: “He’s kind, very intelligent, talented, and genuinely funny. I think he’s quite handsome. He’s wonderful. I usually don’t praise men for things they don’t deserve.”
Cher said she and Alexander Edwards are perfectly in sync spiritually. For her, age is just a number and holds no significance in love.
Previously, Cher was spotted on the red carpet with her 37-year-old boyfriend, Alexander Edwards.
The couple made their first official appearance as a couple at the Versace 2023 fashion show, and their affectionate look left no doubt that they love each other.
While some may be uncomfortable with the age difference, a source close to Cher revealed that Alexander makes her feel special.
Cher and Alexander were both smiling as they posed on the red carpet, and their chemistry was clearly on display in every photo.
The two were completely unable to keep their hands off each other, and their kiss melted the hearts of the audience.
Cher had a big smile and youthful energy, and she looked like a young woman in love. Alexander Edwards has never been married but has a 3-year-old son named Slash Electric.
He clearly has a deep connection with Cher and supports her in both her personal and professional life.
Additionally, Cher had romantic relationships with many younger males.
Cher used to date celebrities such as 61-year-old actor Tom Cruise, 64-year-old Richie Sambora, and 64-year-old Val Kilmer. The singer also dated actor Rob Camiletti when she was 40 and he was 22.
They attended the Oscars together in 1998 when Cher won the award for “Best Actress” for her role in Moonstruck.
In a 2020 interview with The Guardian, when asked about the love of her life, Cher replied: “Well, I think it’s Rob Camiletti and Gregory Allman.”
Also in this week’s interview, Cher revealed she once turned down a date with the “King of Rock and Roll” Elvis Presley.
She explained: “That’s because I was anxious, and I knew the people around him. Not that they were bad people, just because I was a bit concerned about his reputation.”
