Cher appears ready to make another trip down the aisle.

Nearly five decades after her second marriage ended, the iconic singer and actress is reportedly preparing to marry her longtime boyfriend, music executive Alexander “AE” Edwards. According to reports, the couple is considering tying the knot ahead of Cher’s milestone 80th birthday this coming May—a moment she reportedly sees as both symbolic and deeply meaningful.

An insider told the Mirror that Cher is completely unfazed by the couple’s 40-year age gap and feels confident about their future together. “Cher doesn’t give a hoot about the age difference, and they’re both ready to commit,” the source shared, adding that the singer views her upcoming birthday as “the perfect time” for the pair to make things official.

The insider also claimed that Cher sees turning 80 not as a limitation, but as a celebration of life, love, and personal freedom. For her, the milestone represents a fresh chapter rather than a closing one—making it an ideal moment to seal their commitment.

However, not all reports align. Cher’s representative has since told Page Six that claims about an impending wedding are “not true,” leaving fans wondering whether wedding bells are truly on the horizon or if the couple is simply enjoying their time together without rushing into marriage.

Cher has long been open about ignoring public criticism, especially when it comes to her relationship with Edwards, who is 39 years old. During a November appearance on CBS Mornings, the “Believe” singer addressed the scrutiny head-on, brushing off negative commentary with her trademark confidence.

“Whatever,” Cher told interviewer Gayle King. “They’re not living my life. Nobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast.”

She also revealed that Edwards himself doesn’t view age as an issue, sharing that he often tells her, “You get older, but your spirit stays young.” According to Cher, their connection is built on laughter, mutual respect, and creative energy—qualities she values far more than numbers on a page.

The Grammy-winning artist has repeatedly expressed admiration for Edwards, praising both his talent and character. “I just love him,” she has said. “I think he’s beautiful. He’s incredibly talented—one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.”

The couple was first romantically linked in November 2022, when they were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles. Shortly after, Cher confirmed the relationship on social media and fiercely defended it against critics during an online Q&A, making it clear she had no interest in public approval.

“I don’t give a flying [expletive] what anyone thinks,” she wrote at the time. “I’m not defending us. Haters are gonna hate. What matters is that we’re happy and not bothering anyone.”

Since then, Cher and Edwards have made several high-profile appearances together, including red carpet events and major fashion shows. Their official red carpet debut came at the Versace Fall 2023 show in March, where their affectionate demeanor left little doubt about the strength of their bond.

Before her relationship with Edwards, Cher was married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1975 and to Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1979. Over the years, she has also been romantically linked to several high-profile figures, including Val Kilmer, Gene Simmons, and Tom Cruise—relationships that have only added to her legendary status in pop culture.

Whether or not wedding plans are truly underway, one thing remains clear: Cher is living life on her own terms, embracing love, joy, and independence with the same fearless spirit that has defined her decades-long career.
