77-year-old Cher and her boyfriend, music producer Alexander Edwards, continue to pack on the PDA (public displays of affection). Their recent outing at the iHeartRadio Music Awards was a testament to their love. Alexander was spotted sweetly kissing Cher on the cheek in the press room, solidifying their couple status.

The duo turned heads on the red carpet, both opting for elegant black outfits. Cher shimmered in a stunning black ensemble adorned with crystals, while Alexander looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo.

This loved-up appearance wasn’t their only public outing this year. Earlier, they attended the Equal Justice Now Awards together, where they mingled with other guests and reveled in their connection. In February, they were seen at the Warner Music Group pre-Grammy party, with Cher rocking a stylish outfit that mirrored Alexander’s sleek black coat.

Cher’s public displays of affection come amidst her ongoing conservatorship case with her son Elijah Blue Allman. While a judge denied her initial request, Elijah has acknowledged his struggles with mental health and substance abuse and assured the public he’s actively seeking treatment.

Despite personal challenges, Cher’s relationship with Alexander appears to be a source of joy and support. As Cher has stated, “Happiness is about living in the moment, not worrying about how long it will last.”

Throughout her career, Cher has defied societal expectations, from her iconic outfits to her outspoken personality. This independent spirit extends to her love life. A photo she posted on social media, with the caption “Love is Love,” sparked conversation about their significant age difference.

Fan reactions were mixed. Some expressed confusion, mistaking Alexander for a basketball player or Cher for another celebrity. Others questioned why Alexander rarely posts about her on social media. One concerned fan wondered if tears in Cher’s eyes meant sadness, while others offered well wishes and support for their relationship.

Many fans championed Cher’s right to love, emphasizing that love has no boundaries. Some commented on how happy they looked together, and one even recalled Cher previously saying she and Alexander had broken up.

Before Alexander, Cher has had her share of high-profile relationships. Her marriages to Gregg Allman and Sonny Bono are well-known, and she even had a brief connection with a young Tom Cruise in the 1980s. Cher fondly remembers Tom as one of her best lovers, describing him as a shy young man.

Cher and Alexander’s relationship may raise eyebrows, but one thing’s clear: they aren’t afraid to show their love for each other, and Cher embraces her right to happiness on her own terms.
