Age is Just a Number: Cher, 79, and Alexander Edwards Show Love in Rome

Cher's Love Life is Still Red-Hot: The Queen of Pop Spotted with Boyfriend Alexander Edwards in Rome

It seems like Cher's love life is still going strong! The 79-year-old music legend was spotted holding hands with her beau, Alexander Edwards, as they exited the iconic Jackie O nightclub in Rome on Sunday. The pair, who have been dating for almost three years, looked absolutely smitten as they left the popular watering hole.

Cher, looking effortlessly chic in a white jacket and straight-leg jeans paired with black and white sneakers, seemed completely at ease with Edwards by her side. Her long, dark hair was styled in loose waves, giving off major "I'm a queen" vibes. Meanwhile, Edwards looked dapper in his long white and black animal print shirt, straight-leg jeans, and dark shoes.

The couple's loved-up vacation in Italy comes after a night of glamour at the Dolce and Gabbana party, where Cher performed to rave reviews. And it seems like their romance is going stronger than ever - Edwards, 39, has even shared custody of his son, Slash, five, with ex-partner Amber Rose.

But what's really interesting is that Rose has nothing but nice things to say about Cher and Edwards' relationship. In an interview with The Jason Lee Podcast in March 2024, she revealed that the two women get along famously. "I'm very happy that [Alexander] is with Cher because it creates stability for when [our] son goes over there," Rose said. "It's not all mayhem and stuff."

Of course, there have been some raised eyebrows about their age difference - Cher being a whole 40 years older than Edwards. But the unflappable icon seems completely unfazed by the criticism. After all, she's dated several younger men in the past, including Val Kilmer (who was 22 when they started dating) and Tom Cruise.

And it turns out that Cher's penchant for younger men isn't just a fleeting fancy - it's actually rooted in her own experiences as a woman in Hollywood. In an interview with The Jennifer Hudson Show in May 2024, she revealed that she often found herself being approached by much older men who were intimidated by her fame and success. "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—they were raised by women like me," she explained.

Despite the criticism, Cher has remained close friends with many of her exes - including Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, whom she dated for about a year in the late 1980s. In an interview with The Table Manners podcast in December 2023, she revealed that she's "really close" to all of her exes, saying "I have a feeling that you have to like someone a lot before you go to bed with them."

So there you have it - Cher's love life is still the stuff of legend. And we can't help but wonder what's next for this iconic couple!
