Rumors are swirling that Cher, the iconic music legend, might be rethinking her relationship with much-younger boyfriend Alexander “A.E.” Edwards. According to RadarOnline.com, people close to Cher are urging her to pull the plug on the romance — especially after a video allegedly showed Edwards getting a little too flirty with someone else.
Edwards, who is 39, showed up solo at this year’s Coachella, adding fuel to the breakup rumors. But Cher, 78, didn’t let the gossip go unchecked. Her representative shut down the speculation fast, denying both the alleged flirting and any drama between the couple.
In fact, the rep claimed Cher’s friends are totally cool with the relationship. But not everyone’s buying that. One insider spilled some serious tea, saying not all of her inner circle is on board. “They just don’t get what she sees in him,” the source said. And it’s not just about the age gap — it’s about how he treats her.
“If he were good to her, it might be different,” the source explained. “But he’s not. And now her closest friends are practically begging her to see her own worth and walk away.”
Apparently, the age difference has become a bigger issue than she’s letting on. According to the insider, Edwards has made Cher feel like he’s doing her a favor just by dating her. “He acts like he’s some kind of prize just because he’s younger,” they said. Talk about ego.
Cher and A.E. first got together in November 2022, after meeting during Paris Fashion Week. The romance caused quite a stir — and they did take a short break in 2023 — but they reunited by September, and things looked solid from the outside. Still, behind the scenes, Cher’s friends reportedly remain skeptical.
It’s not that they care about the 40-year age gap, per se. They just don’t think he’s the right guy for her. “They gave him a chance,” the source said, “but at this point, they feel she could do way better.”
And honestly, they’re not wrong. “If she really wants to date someone half her age, she could snap her fingers and have a new boy toy by tomorrow,” the source added.
For now, Cher’s standing by her man — but if her friends have anything to say about it, that might not last much longer.
