Cher, 77, prefers younger beaus as men her age are all dead

Cher jokes about preferring younger boyfriends because men her age are dead; explains older men were intimidated by her.

Cher playfully joked about her preference for younger boyfriends, attributing it to the fact that men her age have passed away. The 77-year-old singer has a history of dating younger men, including her current beau, 38-year-old record executive Alexander 'AE' Edwards. She explained that older men were intimidated by her strong personality, leading her to seek companionship with younger generations who were raised by women like her and were not afraid of her.

Despite her outgoing persona, Cher admitted to being shy around men when not working, making it difficult for her to make the first move. Throughout her life, she has been known to date younger men, such as Rob Camilletti, who she dated when she was 40 and he was 22. Even with a significant age gap, Cher emphasized that love doesn't follow mathematical rules and defended her relationships against social media trolls.

Cher's relationship with Alexander began in 2022 and faced criticism due to their age difference. However, the singer remained unbothered, emphasizing the connection they shared and dismissing any negative opinions. Reflecting on her past relationships, Cher acknowledged that older men did not appreciate her personality, leading her to seek companionship with younger partners who accepted her for who she is.

Despite a brief split in May 2023, Cher and Alexander reconciled in September and have been together ever since. The singer's dating history, including her high-profile relationship with Sonny Bono, reflects her preference for younger men who appreciate her humor, strong personality, and willingness to be herself. Cher remains unapologetic about her choices and continues to prioritize compatibility and connection in her romantic relationships.
