Cher may be heading into her 80th birthday with a wedding on deck. According to new reporting, the singer is considering marrying her boyfriend, Alexander \u201cAE\u201d Edwards<\/a>, before she hits the milestone \u2014 and insiders say she \u201cdoesn\u2019t give a hoot\u201d about their 40-year age gap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cher views turning 80 as \u201cthe perfect time\u201d for the pair to \u201cseal the deal,\u201d insiders told The Mirror, per Page Six,<\/a> noting that she and Edwards are \u201cready to commit to each other,\u201d adding that \u201cShe has set her heart on walking down the aisle with him around the time of her landmark birthday in May.\u201d<\/p>\n

And when it comes to the ages involved? Sources told the outlet that she\u2019s simply unbothered, a sentiment she\u2019s repeated more than once.<\/p>\n

In fact, Cher has been remarkably consistent about the age-gap commentary. During a November appearance on CBS Mornings, she brushed off the criticism with a classic Cher-ism \u2014 \u201cWhatever\u201d \u2014 before explaining that \u201cnobody knows what goes on between us, but we just have a blast.\u201d She added that Edwards often reminds her that \u201cyour spirit is younger,\u201d a line that seems to reflect how she approaches the whole relationship.<\/p>\n

\"Alexander<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know, the couple first sparked dating rumors in November 2022 after they were photographed holding hands in Los Angeles. Cher confirmed the romance soon after and even addressed it directly during a fan Q&A on X, telling followers, \u201cI DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.\u201d They made their red carpet debut at the Versace fall 2023 fashion show and, despite a brief split in 2023<\/a>, found their way back to each other.<\/p>\n

Their connection hasn\u2019t just been personal \u2014 it\u2019s also creative. Edwards helped produce \u201cDrop Top Sleigh Ride\u201d on Cher\u2019s 2023 album Christmas, her first album with original material in more than a decade. By late 2024, Cher told Jimmy Fallon she was returning to the studio, and Page Six reported that Edwards had \u201cinspired\u201d her musically<\/a> as they continued working together.<\/p>\n

Whether the pair tie the knot before Cher\u2019s 80th birthday remains unconfirmed, but the insider reports line up with a familiar pattern: Cher does what makes Cher happy \u2014\u00a0even if her family thinks Edwards has some red flags<\/a>. And if that includes a wedding \u2014 age gap and all \u2014 she seems perfectly content to follow her own timing.<\/p>\n
