Never one to shy away from the spotlight or a bold statement, Cher is once again captivating the public, this time with her refreshingly blunt and hilarious thoughts on her relationship with 39-year-old Alexander “AE” Edwards. In a new interview, the 79-year-old icon delivered a series of iconic quotes that have left fans cheering, perfectly blending her trademark wit with genuine affection.

When asked about the critics of her 40-year age gap with her music executive boyfriend, Cher dismissed them with a wave of her hand. “Whatever. They’re not living my life,” she told Gayle King, before revealing the secret to their three-year romance: “We just have a blast.” But it was her explanation for why she prefers younger men that truly showcased her legendary humor. In a now-famous past remark, she stated, “The reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older, well, now they’re all dead.”
The interview wasn’t all just one-liners, however. Cher shared the sweet compliment Edwards gives her, telling her that while she ages, “your spirit is younger.” She also gushed about his qualities beyond his age, calling him “beautiful” and “one of the most talented persons I’ve ever met.” The conversation took a heartwarming turn when she discussed his six-year-old son, Slash, revealing that she had once prayed for “a toddler and a man” and got “exactly” that.
This candid chat occurred while she was promoting her new “Cherlato” ice cream, a venture she assured fans is a genuine passion, not a cash grab. The entire segment served as a reminder of why Cher remains a beloved fixture in pop culture: she is unapologetically herself, lives by her own rules, and, whether in love or business, does it with style, spirit, and a killer sense of humor.
