Cher reveals she turned down date with Elvis Presley due to his reputation, trolls say she 'milked' this story for decades

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Iconic singer Cher opened up about the moment a rock and roll legend asked her out!

The ‘Fernando’ crooner had admitted that she got "nervous and shy" to say yes to him at that time. Cher revealed that it was none other than Elvis Presley.

“It was because I was nervous and I knew of the people around him and it wasn’t that they were bad people, it's just that I was kind of nervous about his reputation and I mean,” Cher explained.

Cher's romantic relationship with 32-year-old Alexander Edward

The 77-year-old is presently dating record executive Alexander ‘AE’ Edward, 38, and also shared why she prefers younger men. “I’m really shy when I’m not working and kind of shy around men,” Cher said on the ‘Jennifer Hudson Show.’

She likes dating men who "were raised by women like me" and were therefore "never scared of her." Cher also poked fun about her age, “And the reason I got with young men is because men my age or older - well, now they're all dead.”

"But before they just never, they were always terrified to approach me.” When answering what she likes most about her current boyfriend, Cher said on social media, “He's kind, smart, hilarious... & we kiss like teenagers.”
