Cher's sons upset over her plans to ALTER will and share $360M fortune with boyfriend Alexander Edwards
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Cher, 77, is a firm believer in sharing and caring, but her adult children are upset about reports that the 'Believe' singer is planning to alter her will to give her 37-year-old boyfriend Alexander 'AE' Edwards a larger portion of her $360 million fortune.
An insider revealed to National Enquirer, “While some view Cher’s gesture as a heartfelt testament to her affection, others are concerned about the implications it may have on her existing family dynamics."
Source says, 'Cher’s fortune has become a focal point'
The source added, “Cher’s fortune has become a focal point in a passionate debate. Changing her will to leave her much younger boyfriend something is the best option — while the worst option would be if she marries him and he gets EVERYTHING!”
According to reports, Cher's adult children, sons Chaz Bono, 54, from her lengthy marriage to Sonny Bono, and Elijah Blue Allman, 47, from her brief union with well-known musician Gregg Allman, were hoping to keep their inheritance separate from their mother's partner.
However, close friends point out that the aging singing icon is incredibly infatuated and wants to make sure her partner is secure in the future when she's gone, as reported by RadarOnline.
A friend added, "At the end of the day, it’s her money and she has worked her butt off since she was a teenager to amass it. It’s her right to leave whatever she wants to whoever she wants."
Cher's sons have 'disapproved' of her quick romance
According to reports, Cher's sons have "disapproved" of her quick romance from the start.
According to a source, the singer of 'If I Can Turn Back Time' had threatened to divorce her kids months prior because she was so irritated with them interfering in their relationship.
The insider shared in February, “Cher is mad at them she’s ready to cut them out of her life completely."
The insider added, “She’s been hell-bent on marrying this guy and is speaking to her lawyers about adjusting her will to make AE her sole beneficiary.”
Chaz thinks 'AE' is a gold digger
The source disclosed that Chaz thinks 'AE' is a gold digger. The source added, “They think he’s playing her to cash in on her power and influence in the music industry."
Cher's argument with her children escalated during the holidays when she claimed Chaz and Elijah were more concerned with her money than her happiness.
According to reports, Cher's friends are also worried about their relationship, but the aging singer is unconcerned. It's said that she's madly in love with her much younger beau.
Cher and AE were rumored to be engaged but broke up after a months-long relationship. The source revealed that Cher's back in “giddy mode” and her loved ones are fearful that she's falling hard.
