Cher, 79, Reportedly Planning Wedding with 39-Year-Old Boyfriend Amidst Christmas Album Success

Recent reports suggest that Cher, the iconic singer and actress, is preparing to marry her 39-year-old boyfriend, Alexander 'AE' Edwards. The couple, who have been together since 2022, are reportedly planning to tie the knot around Cher's 80th birthday. Despite a 40-year age gap, both Cher and Edwards have expressed indifference to public opinion regarding their relationship. Cher has stated, "I don't give a hoot about what anyone thinks," while Edwards emphasizes their mutual respect and admiration. The couple's relationship became public in November 2022, and they have since been open about their affection for each other. In addition to her personal life, Cher has been active professionally, releasing her first Christmas album, 'Christmas,' in October 2023. The album features collaborations with artists like Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé, Cyndi Lauper, Tyga, and Darlene Love. The lead single, 'DJ Play a Christmas Song,' marked Cher's return to the Billboard Hot 100 after 21 years, peaking at number 90. The song also topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, making Cher the only solo artist to have a number-one song on at least one Billboard chart in each of the past seven decades. Cher's enduring presence in the music industry and her personal life continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
