If you’ve ever wondered why Cher seems to prefer dating younger men, she has a straightforward and reasonable explanation that makes a lot of sense.
During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the iconic 77-year-old entertainer shared her thoughts on why she tends to seek out younger men as romantic partners.
While discussing an incident where she turned down Elvis, Cher revealed that she’s usually “really shy” around men, particularly those she’s not working with.
Without any prompting, Cher elaborated, “The reason I go out with young men is because men my age are older — well, now they’re all dead — but before, they were always terrified to approach me. And younger men were the only ones that…”
Jennifer Hudson chimed in, “They’re bold.”
Cher agreed, adding, “Yeah, raised by women like me.”
This conversation comes in the context of Cher’s recent relationship with Alexander “AE” Edwards, who is 40 years her junior. Their relationship has captured the attention of both fans and the media, prompting discussions and curiosity about their dynamic.
When faced with questions about Edwards’ potential motives, Cher took to social media platform X to address the speculation directly, stating, “Let Me Explain…I DONT GIVE A [flying] FK WHAT ANYONE THINKS.”
Cher’s stance underscores a broader point: in 2024, the reasons behind who we choose to date shouldn’t need justification. As long as it’s not harming anyone, people should be free to love who they love without societal judgment or criticism.
