Cher Snuggles Up With Boyfriend Alexander Edwards in Sweet New Photo: ‘Love Is Love’
“Love is Love,” Cher says in the caption of a cozy new photo with her boyfriend, producer Alexander Edwards.
Cher shared the cuddly picture of herself with her beau on Saturday (Jan. 6) on X, formerly Twitter. In the photo, she sits on Edwards’ lap and embraces him, with one hand on his back and the other affectionately touching his chin.
The singer, 77, first met Edwards, 37, at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022.
She opened up about their romance and its 40-year age gap on The Kelly Clarkson Show in December 2022, noting, “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.” She added that Edwards is “very kind, very smart, he’s very talented, and he’s really funny,” before adding, “And I think he’s quite handsome.”
In October 2023, she told People of their relationship, “I hate when people say people are special, but lots of people say I’m special, so I can say that he’s special. No matter what happens, I love being with him. He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it’s never too late. If you wrote out all the statistics, you would go, ‘Well, this is doomed.’ But we’ve been together a year, and if it was just a year, it would’ve been worth it. I’ve had the best time.”
Cher’s latest hit — “DJ Play a Christmas Song,” off of her holiday album, Christmas — topped Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart, Adult Contemporary chart and Dance/Electronic Song Sales chart last month.
She’s had at least one new No. 1 on a Billboard songs chart in each of the seven decades from the 1960s through the 2020s, including her run as half of Sonny & Cher.
