The couple has been dating for three years.
79-year-old global music star Cher has agreed to marry her boyfriend Alexander Edwards. The wedding is scheduled for May 2026, ahead of the artist's anniversary.
The wedding celebration is set to be part of a grand celebration for her 80th birthday, according to the Daily Mail. The 39-year-old music producer proposed back in December 2022, but Cher preferred not to rush and weighed all the "pros and cons." In 2023, Alexander gifted the singer a ring with a large diamond for Christmas, which strengthened rumors of a possible wedding.
The couple began dating in the fall of 2022, and since then their relationship has been repeatedly discussed in the press due to the significant age difference. Cher has repeatedly emphasized that such love is her personal choice, and she does not intend to justify herself to critics. Sources close to her note that the couple is ready for an official union.
Interestingly, Edwards' previous romance with model Amber Rose ended with accusations of infidelity — she claimed he was dating 12 women simultaneously. The producer did not deny it and confessed to everything.
Cher and Edwards' Romance
Cher and Edwards' relationship has had its ups and downs. In the spring of 2023, they announced a breakup, but reconciled by the fall. In October 2025, the media reported again about a possible split: the singer was allegedly tired of her partner's wild nightlife, his partying at events and festivals contradicted her desire for peace. Edwards began to appear less frequently with Cher, preferring the company of younger women, which caused tension.
Close friends of the artist warned of "warning signs," especially amid rumors that she wanted to include him in her will. Cher, however, remained optimistic, focusing on her career and supporting her son, who is struggling with addiction.
Cher has always openly spoken about her preference for younger partners, explaining that men her age often do not share her energy and individuality. In a recent interview, she noted that young men appreciate her as a person, without demanding compromises. The singer emphasizes that love does not obey calculations, and she is ready to take risks while staying true to herself.
Critics, however, suspect that Edwards has PR motives in the relationship, but the couple ignores the gossip. A source close to them claims that they "couldn't care less" about public opinion and are completely devoted to each other. Cher sees the upcoming anniversary as the perfect moment for "sealing the deal," as an insider put it.
Cher's Career
Despite personal dramas, Cher remains active: in 2024, she released an album that she called her last, but continues to work on her memoirs, a greatest hits collection, and films. At a concert in London, she joked about her age: "I’m older than dirt." The singer admits that she would go back to being 60 if she could, but cherishes every day. Her union with Edwards is a vivid example of how a legend ignores stereotypes, inspiring her fans.
