Cher wants to marry BF Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards but here's what is stopping her: 'An old-school romantic'
MALIBU, CALIFORNIA: Cher and her much-younger beau, Alexander 'AE' Edwards, have continued to prove time and again that love knows no age, or limits.
Despite skeptics and the occasional bump in the road, a source told In Touch that Cher, now 78, is ready to get married, hoping for a proposal.
Cher Hopes for a proposal from Alexander 'AE' Edwards
The source told the outlet, “Cher and AE have had some bumps along the way, but the past year they have been solid as a rock, to the point where she’s started dropping hints that she wants him to marry her,”
Despite her dominant position in the relationship’s power dynamic, there’s one timeless tradition she isn’t willing to forgo.
“She’s an old-school romantic,” the source continues, meaning that, for her, “the man has to propose, she’s not going to do the asking.”
Reportedly, her hope is to have Edwards take that classic leap and get down on one knee, or at least present a proposal in a manner that reflects his unique style.
Cher feels ‘alive and sexier than ever’ with Alexander 'AE' Edwards
The spark between Cher and AE wasn’t a recent occurrence.
They met during Paris Fashion Week in 2022, setting the stage for what many now consider a passionate, albeit unconventional, romance.
Despite a brief split in the Spring of 2023, the pair have been inseparable ever since.
As one insider revealed to Us Weekly that Cher is more confident in her new man than ever before.
“She knows full well that there’s a lot of skepticism about this romance but she couldn’t care less … She’s reveling in the attention and saying that she and AE have something very special going on that’s made her feel more alive and sexier than ever.”
Cher’s apparent contentment and renewed sense of vitality is a testament to the profound connection she shares with AE.
The future seems to be filled with possibilities for this striking couple.
Alexander 'AE' Edwards 'serious' about his relationship with Cher
Cher, who has experienced marriage before, first with Sonny Bono and later with Gregg Allman, appears to be considering taking a major step again by embracing formal commitment.
A source candidly noted, “It does seem like Alexander is open to the idea though,” with the first source adding, “He’s very clear she’s his ‘woman’ and he has called her and his son, Slash, ‘a family.’ He’s very serious about this.”
Reportedly, Cher’s thoughtful integration of AE’s 5-year-old son into her life has not gone unnoticed.
Known for her warm-hearted nature, she has been showering the young boy, whose father shares him with ex Amber Rose, with undeniable affection.
One insider described the bond beautifully, “His wish is basically her command. She’s having the best time with him,” a second source previously dished about the little man’s relationship with his “fun fairy godmother.”
The prospect of an engagement, however, might stir up mixed emotions among those close to Cher.
As one insider mused: “When they get engaged it’s probably going to freak out a lot of people in her life, not because Alexander has done anything wrong, but the reality is, there is some concern that he could be in this for the wrong reasons.”
Despite these whispers of worry, the resilience and fiery passion that Cher exhibits remain undeterred.
Cher ready to marry Alexander 'AE' Edwards despite 40-year age gap
Public opinion is always a formidable force in the lives of stars, especially when non-traditional dynamics come into play.
With a notable age gap between the two, critics and naysayers are quick to judge.
Yet, Cher’s response was unequivocal, “A 40-year age gap draws judgement, but Cher won’t entertain it,” the insider continued.
“She’s madly in love and gets upset if anyone questions him or their relationship. She’s ready to go all in.”
Cher’s fearless declaration not only reinforces her commitment to AE Edwards but also serves as a rallying cry for anyone who believes that true love should always triumph over societal expectations.
