Cher and Alexander “A.E.” Edwards have split up after several months of dating, according to reports.
The Believe singer, 76, and music producer, 36, were first linked in November when they were spotted looking cosy together on a date in West Hollywood.
Days later, Cher confirmed the romance on social media and addressed the 40-year age gap head on.
Acknowledging that it might seem “kind of ridiculous” to some, she insisted it worked in “real life” because of how well she and Edwards got along, noting that older men don’t seem that interested in her.
She also praised him as “very kind,” adding: “he’s very smart. He’s very talented and he’s really funny, and I think he’s quite handsome.”
In March, Cher revealed that she and Edwards – who previously dated Amber Rose for three years – were working on not one, but two albums together and gushed to E! about how “excited” she was.
She said: “I’m going to England to make two albums. Some of the songs Alexander gave me, so I’m pretty excited about that.
“He’s a producer and a writer and he does everything, so I’m happy about that. I think like any artist when you’ve got something good, you’re excited.”
Fast forward to now and a source close to the former couple has confirmed to the same publication that the two “separated a few weeks ago, but that the split was amicable”.
The Standard has contacted a representative for Cher for comment.
