Cher Opens Up About Aging And Love: "I Hate It!"

Cher Gets Candid About Aging

Cher – the iconic music legend – is getting real about a topic we all face: aging. In a recent chat with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, Cher didn't mince words. "Yes, I hate it! I'm 10 years older than you, babe!" she quipped when asked if she felt wiser with age. The singer's candidness about not feeling "wiser" as the years pass is refreshingly relatable.

"Oh, I'm stupid. I'm not wiser," Cher humorously admitted.

Cher, now 79, continues to embrace her youthful spirit, especially when it comes to her 39-year-old beau, Alexander "A.E." Edwards. That age gap? Not a problem at all!

The Secret to Cher and Alexander's Strong Bond

When it comes to her relationship with Edwards, Cher revealed that laughter and respect are the magic ingredients. "We laugh all the time," she shared. "He's really talented. He's one of the most talented persons I've ever met." Despite the buzz and chatter about their 40-year age difference, Cher stays unfazed and focused on their happiness.

"Whatever," she told King. "They're not living my life. Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast."

Performing: Cher's Lifelong Passion

Cher's love for performing is unwavering. Reflecting on a 1991 interview, she reiterated her passion for the stage. "I don't know how to do anything else. What am I gonna do? I love what I do," she said, proving that her past words still hold true today.

Setting the Record Straight on Breakup Rumors

Rumors of a split with Edwards surfaced after he was spotted at Coachella solo, but Cher's rep quickly dismissed them. Turns out, it was just a scheduling conflict keeping her away. The pair is not only still together but also planning a musical collaboration.

Cher recently teased about working on a new album with Edwards taking the lead behind the scenes. "He and I are gonna start a new album," she revealed, adding a new layer to their dynamic partnership.

From Dinner Dates to Music Collaborations

The romance rumors first sparked in November 2022 when Cher and Edwards were seen dining in West Hollywood. Since then, they've turned heads, particularly with their 40-year age gap. Cher, however, remains unfazed by the critics.

"Haters are gonna hate," she tweeted. "Doesn't matter that we're happy and not bothering anyone."

Their connection has blossomed into a creative partnership, with Edwards contributing to Cher's 2023 Christmas album. "He's a producer and a writer, and he does everything," Cher enthused, showing just how much she admires her partner's talents.
