Cher has been busy enjoying a romance with her toyboy lover Alexander Edwards, who is 39 years her junior, but it's certainly not her first age-gap relationship.
Some fans may find it hard to believe, but the 76-year-old singing sensation once had a fling with Hollywood icon Tom Cruise.
Cher first met the 60-year-old Top Gun actor back in 1985 when he was 23 and she was 38.
The Strong Enough hitmaker had already been married and divorced twice by the time she met Tom at Madonna and Sean Penn's wedding in Malibu.
The dynamic duo were then later reunited at the White House before embarking on a passionate relationship.
Cher later gushed about their 'deep connection' and hailed Tom as one of her "greatest lovers ever".
Reminiscing about their wild romance back in 2018, Cher said: "A bunch of people who were dyslexic were invited to the White House, and Tom and I are both dyslexic."
"We didn’t go out till way later, but there definitely was a connection there," she told Event magazine.
Cher also gushed about her former lover to Andy Cohen and said the actor was in her "top five lovers".
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, she revealed: "I had just the greatest lovers ever. Not a long list. It's just a good list."
When the TV host grilled Cher about her relationship with Tom, she admitted: "He wasn't a Scientologist then. It was pretty hot and heavy for a little minute. He's a great guy. The person that I knew was a great and lovable guy."
She added: "He was in the top five."
Despite their romance eventually fizzling out, Cher revealed they are still friends - but admitted she was a bit confused about his beliefs.
"I don't get what he does, that whole Scientology thing. I can't understand it so I just… don't," she explained.
Tom went on to marry actress Mimi Rogers in 1987, before they divorced three years later.
He met his second wife Nicole Kidman on the set of Days of Thunder and they tied the knot in 1990.
The former couple adopted two children together but divorced in 2001. Tom then married Katie Holmes in 2006 and their daughter Suri was born the same year.
They divorced in 2012.
Before dating Alexander, Cher had already been married to Sonny Bono from 1964 to 1997 and Gregg Allman from 1975 to 1978.
She has also dated Warren Beatty, David Geffen, Richie Sambora, Val Kilmer and claims to have turned down the likes of Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando.
