Cher shared a quick update on boyfriend and rapper Alexander Edwards as she made a solo appearance at Carol Burnett’s 90th birthday bash in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The 76-year-old star, also known as the goddess of pop, opened up to Access Hollywood on the red carpet just before the start of the star-studded event.
After the Believe hitmaker whispered about the celebrity host, the reporter diverted the conversation by humorously asking, “Do you have a date tonight?” You know what I’m trying to achieve…”
The Moonstruck actress smiled slightly and replied with, “My date takes care of his son.”
Notably, Alexander welcomed a son named Slash Electric Alexander Edwards with his ex Amber Rose in 2019. The two split in 2021 after his reported infidelity, but still maintain a friendly relationship as parents.
An update: Cher, 76, shared a quick update on boyfriend and rapper Alexander Edwards while performing solo at Carol Burnett’s 90th birthday party in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The Access Hollywood reporter then told the star, “We’re happy for you. Congratulations on the relationship,” which led to a friendly “thank you” from Cher.
The pair were first linked last November when they were spotted arriving at a celebrity spot for a fancy dinner while holding hands, sparking romance rumours.
After grabbing food, the happy couple returned to a waiting car, where Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards kissed Cher softly on the hand as they sat close to each other in the backseat.
The two lovebirds, who first met at Paris Fashion Week in October 2022, were seen romantically holding hands on several other occasions in November.
After publicly confirming their romance that same month, the actress and singer – who is 39 years his senior – pushed back against criticism of their relationship.
A source told Us Weekly at the time, “Cher knows full well there’s a lot of skepticism about this romance, but she doesn’t care.”
“She enjoys the attention and says that she and AE are on to something very special that makes her feel more alive and sexy than ever.”
“She’s always been attracted to younger men, and this certainly isn’t her first fun, no-strings-attached fling in the last few years.” The difference here is that this one feels special, which is why she felt confident as a couple in public,” the insider continued.
Her ‘date’: When asked who her ‘date’ was on the Carol Burnett tape, the ‘Goddess of Pop’ said: ‘The Moonstruck actress smiled a bit and replied:’ My date takes care of his son’; the two were spotted in Arizona in February

In December, she guest-starred on The Kelly Clarkson Show and spoke to the music artist about their romance.
She jokingly said: “Well, it’s quite ridiculous on paper, but in real life we get along. He’s fantastic and I don’t give men qualities they don’t deserve, you know?’
“But he’s really, really nice, he’s really smart, he’s really talented and he’s really funny. And I think he’s quite handsome.”
The couple are also ringing in the new year together, and in a beautiful moment Cher showed off a stunning diamond ring that Alexander had given her, fueling engagement rumours.
Last month in February, the two were spotted together at a pre-Grammy party, and a source opened up to People shortly after.
“They are very much in love,” the insider told the publication. “They held hands all night and were very affectionate and kissed a lot.”
However, the source clarified: “They’re not talking about marriage or anything like that, but they’re exclusive and serious.”
During the celebratory night before the popular annual awards show, the insider added that the actress was “smiling the whole time,” later saying, “Cher likes that he’s young. It’s exciting for them.”

Cher and Alexander were last seen together last month when they attended Drake’s pre-Super Bowl party in Scottsdale, Arizona, and also attended the Super Bowl game.
Notably, the music executive had a previous relationship with model and TV personality Amber Rose.
However, the two broke up in August 2021 after she accused Alexander of cheating with 12 women, which he admitted. The two stars share their three-year-old son, Slash, who was welcomed into the world in 2019.
She shared a lengthy post on Instagram at the time, writing: “I’m tired of being cheated and shamed behind the scenes. All 12 of you bums (the ones I know are probably more) can have it.
“You knew full well he was in a relationship with a baby and you still decided to fuck him. I saw all the texts and DMs. You all knew this very well, but you owe me no loyalty, so it doesn’t matter. I can no longer be the only one fighting for my family.”
She concluded that she never received the same loyalty and transparency “in return” and that she was “done”.
During an interview with Big Von, according to Page Six, the music producer confessed to the infidelity, saying, “I woke up with this shit, man…I was like, ‘Shit, I’m caught.’ “I’ve been caught before, you know what I mean? And she certainly had enough.”
Cher’s last marriage was from 1975 to 1979 to musician Greg Allman, and the two share one son, Elijah Blue Allman. Her first marriage was to Sonny Bono from 1964 until their divorce in 1975. They also share a son, Chaz Bono.
